“Do any of these sound familiar?”

• Waking up at 2–4 AM and can’t fall back asleep

• Brain fog that makes you feel like you’re losing your mind

  Anxiety or irritability that came out of nowhere

• Joint pain your doctor can’t explain

• Heart palpitations without heart disease

• Feeling unlike yourself and not knowing why

What Your Doctor May Not Say Out Loud:

Perimenopause can start in your late 30s and last up to 13 years. And the first signs often have nothing to do with hot flashes or missed periods.  If you are a Woman of Color, your symptoms related to perimenopause maybe more intense and last longer compared to other women.

“As a registered nurse with 27+ years of healthcare experience, I’ve seen too many women dismissed, overlooked, or told it’s ‘just stress.’ That’s why I created this guide.”  

What’s inside the guide?

• The symptoms most women (and doctors) miss
• A comprehensive symptom tracker to bring to your next appointment
• Exact scripts for what to say when your provider pushes back
• Pattern recognition tools to connect your symptoms
