Perimenopause is the transitional time between the reproductive years and menopause. During this time hormonal imbalances can occur due to declining levels of Estradiol, Progesterone, and Testosterone
The start of perimenopause will be different for every woman, but it can start up to a decade before menopause. For reference, the average age of menopause in the United States is fifty-one years old.
Common perimenopause symptoms can include: hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety or depression, reduced sex drive, difficulty losing weight especially around the abdomen, disrupted sleep, and more.
The declining hormone levels during perimenopause can reduce your metabolism's efficiency, potentially leading to weight gain..
Research suggests that women with lower estrogen levels, as in perimenopause, tend to have higher levels of abdominal fat.
