Midlife Flow

  4 minute read Can I tell you something that nobody warned me about? While I was busy Googling "is this a hot flash or am I dying" at 3 AM, my bones were quietly staging their own rebellion. And chances are, yours might be too. Here's what really gets me fired up: We're told to expect the obvious stuff - hot flashes that make us feel like human furnaces, mood swings that have our families walking on eggshells, sleep that becomes more elusive than a decent pair of jeans that fit. But bone health? Crickets. My wake-up call came during a routine check-up when my doctor casually mentioned I should "start thinking about" bone density. Start thinking about it? I was 43, not 73!

If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected - this blog is for you. It absolutely can get better. Why Nutrition Matters More Than Ever in Perimenopause Perimenopause isn’t just about hot flashes or mood swings - it’s a full metamorphosis. Hormones change. Metabolism shifts. Sleep patterns break.
