Hormones & Perimenopause: Your Hidden Health Risks

“Ignoring Your Health in Perimenopause Isn’t an Option.” - Professor Kay

The Ticking Clock of Perimenopause:

It starts small.

You notice a slight change in how you look or feel—a bit more tired than usual, maybe your clothes fit differently.

The face staring back at you in the mirror isn’t quite as familiar as it used to be. It’s like looking at a slightly faded version of yourself, a version that’s losing some of the energy and vibrancy you’ve always counted on.

But what if I told you these are only the surface-level signs of something much larger happening beneath?

As we enter perimenopause, a profound shift occurs.

Our bodies start changing in ways that go far beyond the end periods.

What’s rarely discussed is how deeply these hormonal shifts impact every other part of our health. And as much as we may want to ignore these changes or hope they’re temporary, the data tells a different story.

Ignoring these signs and “waiting it out” is a decision that brings consequences. We start losing muscle, our heart health becomes vulnerable, and even our cognitive abilities face new risks. The choice to do nothing as we transition into perimenopause and menopause is a choice that silently accelerates aging.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Let's look at what happens when we ignore our health at this critical stage—from heart disease and osteoporosis to brain health and muscle loss.

Most importantly, let's explore how you can make simple changes to keep your body, mind, and vitality intact.! 👊
