How to Know If You’re in Perimenopause

Mood swings. Hot flashes. Anxiety.
You bring it up to your OB and they tell you everything’s “normal.” Maybe it’s stress. Maybe it’s just getting older.

Nope. Let’s stop right there.

If you're over 35 and feel like a stranger in your own body, you may already be in perimenopause, even if your cycle hasn’t changed yet.

Your Period Isn't the First Thing to Go

Most women think menopause hits like a switch. But it’s more like a slow-motion rollercoaster, and perimenopause is the uphill climb.

And get this: your hormones start shifting 5–10 years before your period disappears.

You can still have a regular cycle and experience:

• Wild mood swings

• Anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere

• Sudden weight gain (especially belly fat)

• Brain fog, poor sleep, or plummeting libido

These aren’t random. They’re hormonal.

Why Most Doctors Miss It

Conventional medicine often waits until your period is gone for 12 months to slap on the "menopause" label. But by then? The damage is done. You've been suffering in silence for years.

Perimenopause isn’t on most doctors’ radar unless you bring a full symptom list and insist on testing. And even then, you might get told “everything’s in range.”

Here’s the truth: normal labs don’t mean optimal hormones.

The Case for Early Intervention

When caught early, hormone shifts are completely manageable. You don’t need to ride it out or “wait until it gets bad enough.”

With BHRT (Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy), you can:

• Smooth out the mood swings

• Sleep through the night

• Stop the weight creep

• Protect your bones, brain, and heart

• Actually feel like yourself again

But it all starts with testing.

Perimenopause is real and it often starts while your cycle looks perfectly normal.
