What is Menopause?
Menopause is the point when a woman’s periods stop permanently (12 months without a period). It typically occurs between ages 45 and 55, but symptoms of the transition can appear earlier.
What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading to menopause. It can start as early as your mid-30s and last several years. During this time, hormone fluctuations can affect mood, energy, sleep, metabolism, and sexual health.
