What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the hormonal transition leading up to menopause. It can begin in your mid 30s to mid 40 and last 2-10 years.
Hormone Breakdown During Perimenopause
Progesterone
Progesterone is usually the first hormone to decline often causing anxiety, insomnia, panic, and stress sensitivity.
Testosterone
Low Testosterone can decline before estrogen causing low libido, fatigue, motivation loss, and muscles weakness.
Cortisol
High cortisol is the result of chronic stress. Elevated cortisol can cause belly fat, sugar cravings, anxiety, and chronic fatigue. Cortisol is best measured by saliva.
Estrogen
Estrogen fluctuates during perimenopause causing heavy or irregular period, breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, depression, weight gain, fibrocystic breasts, headaches and increased PMS.
