Perimenopause symptoms

What No One Tells You About Perimenopause

At 42, I’m starting to notice changes in my body that I probably wouldn't have connected to perimenopause a few years ago. I've experienced heart palpitations. Strange electric-shock sensations under my skin. Moments when a word or thought that should be right there suddenly disappears. And then there are the more obvious changes. My periods have become noticeably less heavy. Because I've previously struggled with what I experienced as estrogen-dominant symptoms, including heavy bleeding, PMS and period cramps, changes in my cycle are something I notice quickly.

Hormones shift, metabolism changes, and the strategies that may have worked in your 20s or 30s don’t always work the same way anymore. And yet, much of the research and advice around longevity has historically been based on men. Women are not “small men.” And when it comes to healthspan, that distinction matters. What Happens to a Woman’s Body After 40? One of the biggest shifts happens during perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen levels begin to decline, and this affects far more than just reproductive health. Estrogen plays a role in: • cardiovascular health • bone density • brain function • metabolism • inflammation As estrogen declines, women may notice changes such as...
