#Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the stretch before menopause itself, when hormones fluctuate rather than simply decline. It often begins in the late thirties or forties, and because the symptoms arrive one at a time, they get blamed on stress, workload or ordinary ageing instead.

That gap is what these articles are written for. They cover the three symptoms women report most, the brain fog that shows up in meetings, the aches that make a familiar workout feel punishing, the night sweats that break sleep, and why a tracker can insist you rested well when your body disagrees.

Each one explains what is driving the symptom, what tends to help, and the signs worth taking to a doctor rather than waiting out.
