What is Peri-menopause? #perimenopause #women #womenshealth #hormones

SPEAK TO THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE ABOUT YOUR HORMONES, ESPECIALLY DURING PERI-MENOPAUSE!!

My poor mom. We all thought she was going CRAZY in her forties.
And she had an early peri-menopause (fun fact- your mom’s age of menopause is a strong deciding factor in when you will get yours!)
That’s because nobody really spoke about the fact that the hormones that have kept your body and brain running since puberty for the last maybe 20-30 years suddenly CRASH resulting in (wait drawing up my notes from my Hormone Health course)-
Here we go-
1. NIGHT SWEATS
2. HEART PALPITATIONS
3. HOT FLASHES
4. DRY/ITCHY SKIN
5. WEIGHT GAIN
6. STIFF/SORE JOINTS
7. BACK PAIN
8. INCONTINENCE
9. VAGINAL DRYNESS
10. LOW SEX DRIVE
11. DISRUPTED SLEEP
12. ANXIETY
13. POOR MEMORY/ CONCETRATION
14. BRAIN FOG
15. DEPRESSION (Baba got that one right 😂😂)
16. MOOD SWINGS….
There are more! Just picked the fun ones here!

I did this little quiz after briefing Baba & Chris about what Perimenopause is, what my symptoms are and what I’m doing about them. They did pretty well!

It’s no surprise women don’t talk about perimenopause because we hardly talk about our periods with the men in our family.
Imagine if they didn’t talk about or were embarrassed about shaving! A perfectly normal, recurring physical activity that happens to men.

It also helps them understand that you aren’t just behaving MORE PSYCHOTIC than usual, and that there is bio-chemistry at play here and with support and love, the symptoms can be navigated.

First thing to do- go to a functional doctor, do ALL BLOOD TESTS they tell you (it will cost a bomb but totally worth it to rule out other causes like thyroid or heavy metals etc) and discuss supplements (not just magnesium 😂😂) and bio-HRT with them!

On that note, I’ve switched docs and will be starting on oral bio HRT instead of transdermal. Will keep you posted on the results!

Also Chris is not holding clothes for effect, he was actually folding them 😂
