What Are Some Ways to Support My Health During Perimenopause?

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!
