FAQ

The most common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, vaginal dryness, and irregular periods. These symptoms are caused by hormonal changes in the body, and they can be managed with lifestyle changes, hormone replacement therapy, and other treatments.

It is never too early to start a focused self-care routine during menopause. The earlier you start, the better you will be able to manage your symptoms and maintain your overall health and well-being. You can start by eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, practicing stress-reducing techniques, and taking care of your skin and hair.

Opt for gentle cleansers without fragrances or harsh ingredients. Use creamy moisturizers that replenish dryness. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides. Protect skin from sun damage which can worsen with age.

Read empowering books, podcasts, and blogs from menopause thought leaders. Journal about gratitude. Set meaningful goals for this stage of life. Join communities of women going through the same journey.

Menopause is a natural part of aging that usually occurs between 45 and 55. If you're experiencing symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances, you could be entering menopause. The only way to know for sure is through medical diagnosis, but our Perimenopause Quiz can give you a clearer idea of where you might be on your journey.
