Perimenopause and Midlife Women’s Health
Program

Approximately 25 million women enter menopause each year, and by 2030, the global population of postmenopausal women is expected to reach 1.2 billion. If you’re navigating this transition, you are far from alone. Many women are seeking better answers, clearer guidance, and real solutions to help them feel strong, balanced, and well during this phase of life.

Common Symptoms of Perimenopause & Menopause

Hormonal shifts during this time can affect nearly every system in the body. Common symptoms include:

  • Night sweats and hot flashes
  • Mood changes, irritability, or low mood
  • Changes in hair and skin
  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep
  • Migraines or worsening headaches
  • Joint pain or stiffness
  • Weight gain or resistance to weight loss
  • Vaginal dryness or tissue changes

Understanding Perimenopause

Perimenopause can begin up to ten years before menopause, which is officially defined as one full year without a menstrual period. Because of this, women in their late 30s and early 40s may start noticing changes in their cycles, energy, mood, or sleep—often before realizing hormones are playing a role.

Long-Term Health Considerations

Beyond day-to-day symptoms, menopause is also a time when certain long-term health risks increase. These can include:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression
  • Insulin resistance and diabetes
  • Elevated cholesterol levels
  • Cognitive decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
  • Bone loss and osteoporosis

Support Through The Transition

You deserve choices when it comes to your care. Understanding your personal risk factors and exploring appropriate treatment options—whether lifestyle-based, nutritional, or medical—can make a meaningful difference in how you feel during perimenopause and menopause.

With the right support, this transition can be an opportunity to protect your long-term health and reclaim a sense of vitality and balance.
