Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the often confusing transition into menopause where hormones swing rather than gradually decline. Periods may become irregular, sleep becomes unpredictable, mood may shift without reason, and symptoms appear in waves. Many women are told everything “looks normal,” even though everything feels different. This can be for ten to fifteen years prior to the cessation of your monthly cycle! AND there are over 200 symptoms that are perimenopause related.
Dr. Gail Jackson understands that this window is one of the most important times for early intervention. Perimenopause care focuses on bringing stability to fluctuating hormones, making symptoms easier to manage while reducing the intensity of upcoming menopause changes.
How perimenopause Care Works
We begin with a detailed evaluation, conversation, and hormone testing (specialized bloodwork and labs) that reveal what your ovaries and adrenal system are doing behind the scenes. Based on your results, Dr. Gail creates a plan that may include gentle hormonal support (link to bhrt page), cycle regulation, thyroid/adrenal care, and nutrition and lifestyle adjustments aligned with your needs.
