What Your Perimenopause Symptoms Tell You about Your Health

If the symptoms of perimenopause make you feel like your body is malfunctioning, it’s time for a new attitude. Learn to see your symptoms as powerful messages from your body, and your perimenopause symptoms could become the key to better health.

Part of what makes menopause so uncomfortable is how we look at women in menopause. Dr. Mark Hyman, an internationally recognized expert in Functional Medicine,  explains how the media tells us that women’s bodies are essentially broken because of the suffering associated with the major hormonal events of their lives. But many of the common symptoms of menopause actually reflect a state of hormonal imbalance.
