There’s a lot you can do

While you can’t stop hormonal changes, you can influence how your body responds.

Lifestyle has a powerful impact on your experience of perimenopause and menopause. So does the use of Hormone Replacement Therapy, which you should always discuss with a well informed doctor.

Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress support, and strength training all play a role in:

Supporting your metabolism and digestion

Preserving muscle and energy
Stabilizing your mood and clarity
