Perimenopause: Embracing the change with confidence

Written By Tala Andoni

A New Chapter

Perimenopause is a natural transition leading to menopause—a calmer, more balanced phase of life. It’s a time to listen to your body, nourish it well, and embrace positive habits for long-term well-being.

The Hormonal Rollercoaster

Your hormones fluctuate wildly, bringing shifts in mood, sleep, and energy. Oestradiol (E2) can spike unpredictably, while progesterone—your calming hormone—declines, affecting rest and resilience.

Common Signs

  • Shorter cycles and heavier periods

  • Mood swings and feeling overwhelmed

  • Poor sleep and night sweats

  • Sensitivity to alcohol and migraines

Supporting Your Body

  • Eat Smart – Aim for protein at every meal to keep energy stable.

  • Breathe & Relax – Just 5 deep breaths twice a day can reset your nervous system.

  • Sleep Well – Try blue light glasses in the evening for better rest.

You’re Not Alone

Perimenopause is an opportunity to prioritise self-care. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference—helping you feel energised, strong, and ready for this next chapter.
