Continue Reading… When someone thinks about the heart-wrenching struggles of breaking up, they often imagine themselves on the receiving end of the news. But at least once or twice in your life, there will probably come a time when things feel lackluster, strained, or downright hostile in your relationship, and you need to take on the opposite role.

This era is marked by big hormonal shifts that can greatly affect quality of life, causing a lot of anxiety and discomfort. So this week, we’re shining the light on this next frontier of hormone health, so that we’re all more informed, and empowered. If you ask a room of 20- or 30-something year old women about their periods, chances are good these days that they can tell you where they are in their cycle, what that means for their hormones, and they might even be adjusting their diets or activity based on that. But if you ask that same question about perimenopause, you’re likely to be met with a sea of somewhat confused faces. Many women have an idea what it is and when it occurs, but they don’t have the exact details down. It’s such a big time in a woman’s life, yet many of us are relatively uninformed and unprepared and it does raise the question: Why don’t we know more about perimenopause?
