Perimenopause, Decoded

Fern Ashwood

Somewhere in the forties the body starts changing its rules, and no one hands you the new ones. Sleep gets thinner, moods shift without warning, cycles turn unpredictable, and the explanations offered often fall short. This is a clear guide through what is actually happening hormonally, which symptoms are common versus worth a closer look, and what genuinely helps, from daily habits to conversations worth having with a doctor. Grounded, respectful, and steadying.
