Publisher's Synopsis
"Perimenopause? What?! I'm way too young!" If you're suddenly struggling with weight gain, insomnia, irregular bleeding or flooding, mood swings, and relationship challenges, perimenopause may be knocking at your door. And there's more! Burning tongue, itchy skin, electric shock feelings? Yes, these can be part of perimenopause too.
Women are inundated with information on how to have healthy, happy pregnancies, but we get left out on the opposite end of the reproductive spectrum. That stops now! In this entertaining, information-packed, empowering book, Dr. Anna Garrett shares everything you need to know about your body and how to care for it to create hormone harmony.
Here are just a few of the things you'll learn:
- Perimenopause can start as young as 35
- Why perimenopause is very different from menopause
- How you CAN balance your hormones and find symptom relief
- Why you're not going crazy
- Tips for creating a healthcare team that gets you the care you deserve
Dr. Anna offers realistic, holistic solutions for diet challenges, sleep, stress reduction, supplements and more in her savvy sister's guide. Perimenopause is a revolutionary book focused on giving you the tools to navigate this transition with grace and ease so you can rock your mojo through midlife and beyond!
You can learn to make perimenopause an initiation into the wise woman's years, worthy of celebration and discovery, rather than something to dread. I highly recommend this book!"

At last...this is the "perimenopause manual" we have all longed for! Dr. Anna explains it all in a way that feels neither demeaning nor overly scientific. She provides solutions, suggestions and actual steps to take to regain control of our moods, our bodies, our lives. From lifestyle tweaks to supplement suggestions, every page brings awareness and hope. It's my current "bedside read," right before I drift off into truly restorative sleep. Thank you, Dr. Anna!
