Premenopause may cover 10 years before menopause. It is marked by fluctuations in hormones, irregular ovulations, weight gain, loss of libido, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

These problems can be easily treated with hormones if you work with a doctor who knows what they are doing, knows you, and cares about you.

I have seen hundreds of women in this stage of life going from doctor to doctor and from test to test without getting help.

They get sicker and sicker, taking more and more drugs, with no light at the end of the tunnel.

It is sad and criminal to see this happen. They become roadkill, run over by a misguided healthcare system.

However, if they are lucky enough to find a competent, caring practitioner they will regain their lives after being placed on a proper balance of bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, adrenal support, thyroid along with a change of diet, increased exercise, sleep, supplements, and stress management.
