Perimenopause & Menopause
While often used as interchangeable terms, perimenopause and menopause represent two natural phases in a woman's life. Perimenopause, is the term for the years, usually a decade, leading into menopause. After 12 months without a menstrual cycle, a woman has reached menopause (average age 51 in USA). Post menopause is the term for the years after menopause.
While all natural phases, they can come with a variety of changes to the body hormonally. These hormonal changes can lead to a long list of symptoms that can contribute to many of the negative and positive changes women experience during these phases of life. Adding life stressors- like aging parents and/or kids, relationships, and work- it is no wonder that so many woman report their lives are significantly changed by this phase of life.
Perimenopause doesn't have to be a roller coaster
But it is not all bad, I promise.
Perimenopause is a natural transition in our lifetime that should be celebrated and supported like any other. It is a wonderful time for self reflection and growth, where one can recommit to what is working, adjust what needs change, and find new ways to thrive. As with any transition in life, having a support network makes it so much easier. That's why Vera Wellness was created-to give women the support they need during this big transition. The support is more than just a prescription for hormone replacement therapy. It is a whole body and mind approach to discover what will work best for you.
