Discover the surprising signs of perimenopause nobody warned you about.
Perimenopause is a transitional phase in a woman’s life when her body shifts from being ovarian-centric to more adrenal-centric. The adrenal glands are supposed to take over the job of the ovaries in menopause. However, if the body is under stress, the adrenal glands will prioritize cortisol production over all other hormones. This dynamic often shines a bright spotlight on underlying health issues you may have carried for years. Symptoms can become more frequent, more intense, and sometimes downright confusing—making you feel out of touch with yourself and your life.
Typical perimenopausal signs include heavier or lighter periods, irregular cycles, new PMS, or worsening of existing PMS symptoms. But many women are surprised to find that perimenopause goes far beyond hot flashes and irregular cycles. You might notice sudden dizziness, heart flutters, new food sensitivities, crawling or tingling sensations on the skin, shifts in mood or stress tolerance, or waking up at the same time every night. Brain fog, word-finding struggles, joint stiffness, digestive changes, allergies, or even shifts in body odor are also common.
While these symptoms can feel random and disconnected, they all stem from hormonal changes. Think of them as your body’s way of signaling it’s time to reset your health and reclaim your vitality. Understanding these changes is the first step toward navigating this transition with clarity, confidence, and a sense of control.
