Most women don’t realize perimenopause can start in their late 30s or early 40s — sometimes even earlier.
If I could prepare ahead of time, here’s what I’d focus on:
1️⃣ Test — don’t guess.
Check full thyroid panels, fasting insulin, inflammation markers, vitamin D, iron, and comprehensive hormone levels. “Normal” ranges don’t always mean optimal.
2️⃣ Balance blood sugar daily.
Unstable blood sugar makes hormone symptoms worse. Prioritize protein, strength training, sleep, and stress management now — not later.
3️⃣ Support your nervous system.
Chronic stress depletes progesterone first. If you don’t address stress resilience early, symptoms hit harder.
Perimenopause isn’t a disease.
But walking into it depleted makes it feel like one.
Preparation changes everything.
If something already feels “off,” don’t ignore it.
