Perimenopause symptoms can be intense for some women; and if you’re feeling vulnerable and sensitive one minute and cranky and short-tempered the next, you may be suffering from mood swings associated with hormones fluctuations.

 

One of the biggest triggers of feeling irritable occurs when your blood sugar crashes. Eating a lot of starchy or sweet food causes your blood sugar to spike up, then crash down. The crash stimulates cortisol which competes with your estrogen. The result is a merry-go-round of cravings, irritability and fatigue.

 

Keeping these few simple tips in mind will help you cope better with your mood swings, and possibly other perimenopause symptoms like headaches, hot flashes and weight gain.

 

One of the best ways to understand the underlying causes of your symptoms is to know which foods and nutrients you have trouble digesting and those you are deficient in.
