Many women think menopause only starts when their periods stop.
But perimenopause can begin years earlier, often in your late 30s or 40s.
During this time, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can affect many systems in the body including sleep, mood, metabolism, digestion, skin, and brain function.
Symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, weight changes, and joint pain are often dismissed or misunderstood.
Understanding what is happening in your body is the first step toward feeling better.
At Red Mountain, we take a physician guided approach to hormone health so women can better navigate perimenopause and menopause with a plan that is tailored to them.
