Health Ed for Grown-Ass Women: WTF is Perimenopause?
A crash course in hormones, symptoms, and feeling like yourself again
Perimenopause isn’t a mystery diagnosis — it’s a real, biologically significant season of change that impacts everything from your mood and energy to your periods and sleep.
In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll break it down with zero judgment and zero shame:
What perimenopause is and how to know if you’re in it
What’s normal (and what’s not) when it comes to symptoms
Labs worth asking for — and what they actually tell you
How food, movement, and simple strategies can support your body
This isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about giving you knowledge, language, and support. You’ll get a cheat sheet to take home, space to ask questions, and guidance from two licensed practitioners who get how messy this can feel. Let’s talk about it — because your hormones sure are.
