I got cranky at work, embarrassed about being in a meeting sweating and turning deep red. Other than abandoning turtleneck sweaters for the next ten years, what was I going to do? It wasn’t just at work, but my nights were filled with rude awakenings, bathed in sweat. I tried changing my diet and gave up spicy foods and consumed less alcohol, but nothing made much difference.

Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause. Think of it as the transition phase when our body starts to have certain symptoms such as irregular periods, joint pain, mood swings, hot flashes and altered sleep patterns, to name a few. It can start around 40 years of age and last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Dr. Joan Borysenko refers to this phase as the “midlife metamorphosis”, however it is up to us and our choices how well we come out of it.
