What is perimenopause and when does it begin?

Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause when hormone levels fluctuate. It often begins in a woman’s late 30s or 40s and can last several years.

What symptoms are common during perimenopause?

Common symptoms include brain fog, mood changes, anxiety, weight gain, sleep issues, fatigue, and irregular menstrual cycles.

How can hormone therapy help with perimenopause symptoms?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help stabilize hormone fluctuations, improving energy, mood, sleep, and overall quality of life when properly personalized.

Why does functional medicine take a personalized approach to perimenopause?

Functional medicine evaluates hormones alongside lifestyle, nutrition, gut health, and stress to identify root causes and tailor treatments to each individual.

What are common symptoms of perimenopause?

Common perimenopause symptoms can include brain fog, weight gain, mood changes, lower energy, and other changes that affect daily wellbeing.

How can perimenopause affect mental health?

Hormonal changes during perimenopause can affect mood, energy, and overall emotional wellbeing, which is why mental health symptoms are an important part of the conversation.

Can bioidentical HRT help with perimenopause symptoms?

This episode explains that a personalized bioidentical HRT approach may help improve energy, mood, and other perimenopause symptoms when it is tailored to the individual.

Why does a personalized approach matter during perimenopause?

A personalized approach matters because hormone changes and symptoms can look different from person to person, so treatment and lifestyle support should be based on the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

What lifestyle changes may support wellbeing during perimenopause?

This episode highlights lifestyle changes alongside hormone support as part of a root-cause, personalized strategy to improve wellbeing during perimenopause.
