Perimenopause and menopause are significant transitions that affect far more than reproductive health. Hormonal changes can influence musculoskeletal, bone, pelvic, heart, and brain health, as well as sleep, mood, energy, and movement.
Together, these changes can leave people feeling unlike themselves and affect daily life and relationships. Yet many move through this stage continually searching for answers, without clear explanations or support.
The goal of this page is to provide clear, evidence-informed information to help make sense of these changes and support informed understanding as individuals navigate this stage with greater confidence.
