Pre-Menopause
Things just aren't the same...
It’s subtle, sneaky, and easy to write off as just getting older—but knowing what’s happening can help you stay ahead of the game.
Pre-menopause is when you realize your body didn’t get the memo that you’re still young at heart. Clinically, your reproductive system is still doing its thing—regular(ish) cycles, functioning ovaries—but behind the scenes, hormones are starting to shift.
Maybe that little belly pooch isn’t just bad posture but creeping insulin resistance. Maybe you’re waking up exhausted and blaming it on mom radar when really, your hormones are messing with your sleep. Or perhaps you suddenly need a fan on full blast at night and wonder if you’ve always been this thermally unstable.
Symptoms might appear as...
Irregular or heavy periods (previously light and regular), vaginal dryness during sex, low libido, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, thinning hair, dry skin, new or worsening headaches, urinary urgency or leakage, hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, and insomnia.
