Book excerpt: “Perimenopause? What?! I’m way too young!” If you’re suddenly struggling with weight gain, insomnia, irregular bleeding or flooding, mood swings, and relationship challenges, perimenopause may be knocking at your door. And there’s more! Burning tongue, itchy skin, electric shock feelings? Yes, these can be part of perimenopause too. Women are inundated with information on how to have healthy, happy pregnancies, but we get left out on the opposite end of the reproductive spectrum. That stops now! In this entertaining, information-packed, empowering book, Dr. Anna Garrett shares everything you need to know about your body and how to care for it to create hormone harmony. Here are just a few of the things you’ll learn: Perimenopause can start as young as 35 Why perimenopause is very different from menopause How you CAN balance your hormones and find symptom relief Why you’re not going crazy Tips for creating a healthcare team that gets you the care you deserve Dr. Anna offers realistic, holistic solutions for diet challenges, sleep, stress reduction, supplements and more in her savvy sister’s guide.
