What is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, marking the shift away from the reproductive years. This phase, which typically begins in the 40s but can start earlier, brings hormonal fluctuations that can lead to noticeable changes in how you feel day to day.
While perimenopause is a natural part of aging, the symptoms can be disruptive. At Aligned Modern Health, we help women navigate this transition with personalized care and science-backed treatment options so they can feel their best.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Perimenopause
Perimenopause affects each person differently, but common symptoms include:
- Irregular Periods: Cycles may shorten, lengthen, or become unpredictable.
- Hot Flashes & Night Sweats: Sudden waves of heat that can disrupt daily activities and sleep.
- Mood Swings & Irritability: Hormonal shifts can affect emotional well-being.
- Fatigue & Brain Fog: Many women experience changes in energy levels and focus.
- Sleep Disruptions: Trouble falling or staying asleep, often linked to night sweats.
- Weight Changes & Metabolism Shifts: Changes in how the body stores fat.
- Vaginal Dryness & Changes in Libido: Lower estrogen levels can affect comfort and sexual health.
Not everyone experiences all of these symptoms, and their intensity varies. Some women notice mild changes, while others find that perimenopause affects their daily life significantly.
How Aligned Modern Health Supports Women Through Perimenopause
Many women are told that symptoms of perimenopause are something they simply have to endure. At Aligned Modern Health, we believe in a proactive approach that helps women feel better, stay active, and maintain their quality of life.

- Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): A treatment option that helps restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
- Lifestyle & Nutritional Support: Simple changes to diet, movement, and stress management can support your body’s natural balance.
- Targeted Nutraceutical: Certain vitamins and minerals may help with symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and bone health.
