Perimenopause is more than symptom management – it’s about staying healthy from head to toe after age 35. Self-care is the place to start for mid-life health: diet, exercise, relaxation, and nutritional supplements. Nearly two-thirds of women find that self-care is enough to manage hormonal symptoms. For some, however, self-care isn’t enough to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, or to provide long-term benefit to the heart, bones, and brain.

Symptoms associated with Perimenopause are as individual as the women suffering from them. For the Self-Assessment below, we have narrowed the selection of symptoms to those most commonly reported.
