Understanding and Navigating Perimenopause: Signs, Symptoms, and Solutions

In this episode of Midlife and Glowing, sisters Alicia and Nicole delve into the onset and experience of perimenopause, providing insights into the age range it can begin (35-55), common but often vague symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings, and more obvious signs like hot flashes and irregular periods. They discuss the decline of hormones, particularly progesterone, and its effects on women's bodies, including sleep and metabolism challenges. The sisters emphasize the importance of tracking menstrual cycles, managing stress, and adopting lifestyle changes to ease the transition. The episode aims to empower women with knowledge and self-care practices to confidently navigate midlife changes.
