Perimenopause is a natural transition; however, these hormonal shifts can bring major changes
including symptoms like sleep disturbances, mood fluctuations, hot flashes, and weight changes.
Supporting your health starts with the basics: prioritize balanced nutrition with plenty of protein,
fibre, and healthy fats to keep blood sugar steady. Regular movement, especially strength
training, helps maintain bone and muscle health. Sleep hygiene like consistent bedtime routines
and reducing screen time can ease fatigue. Stress management is also key; practices such as
mindfulness, yoga, or daily walks support mood. For some women, bioidentical hormone
replacement therapy (BHRT) can be very effective. Oral progesterone may improve sleep and
calm anxiety, while topical estradiol can ease hot flashes, night sweats, reduce irritation, and
protect bone and heart health. Perimenopause is a chance to reset and invest in long-term
wellness. Don’t hesitate to seek professional guidance, contact The Nest for more information!
