Are you in perimenopause? My guess is you don't know. Most women are not informed about what is happening to their hormones in their 30s, 40s and beyond.

Trust me when I say YOU NEED TO KNOW! This is your body and during this time you can be affected in every way mentally, physically, & spiritually.

When you know and understand what is happening to your hormones you can get the help you need to sail through this time with confidence and ease.

Here’s what you'll learn:

• Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause: Most women aren’t informed about when perimenopause starts or what menopause truly is, including the symptoms and tests involved.
• Lack of Awareness: Many women don’t fully understand what happens during a typical 28-day cycle, let alone during perimenopause and menopause.
• Perimenopause Timing: Did you know that perimenopause often begins around age 35? This can come as a surprise, especially for women who are starting families around this time.
• Personal Experience: Karen shares her own story of having children at 31 and 37, highlighting the stark differences in recovery and how age can affect your hormones.
• Arming Yourself with Knowledge: By understanding what’s happening to your hormones, you’ll be better equipped when discussing your health with a doctor or doing your own research.
