Perimenopause is a natural transition, yet it often arrives with confusing symptoms and conflicting advice. This calm, evidence-informed guide walks you through the hormonal shifts of your late thirties to early fifties—from changing cycle patterns to sleep disruptions, hot flashes, mood changes, and vaginal health. You'll learn how to support your body with targeted nutrition, movement that adapts with you, stress management, and practical self-tracking. No hype, no fear—just clear, trustworthy information to help you feel informed and empowered. Whether you're just noticing subtle changes or fully in the thick of symptoms, this book offers a steady, reassuring hand. Grounded in mainstream physiology and the consensus of organizations like the Menopause Society and the Endocrine Society, it treats you as the expert on your own body.

About the author
Sienna Brooke is a women's wellness writer and educator who has spent years helping women understand and care for their hormonal health. She specializes in cycle awareness, cycle-linked fatigue and mood, and the everyday habits—nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress care—that help women feel steadier across the month. Sienna created her calm, compassionate approach after noticing how often even well-informed women were left confused by conflicting advice about their own bodies. Rather than intimidating hormone science, she offers a gentle, repeatable framework that treats each phase of the cycle as a season with its own needs. She writes to replace shame and guesswork with self-knowledge and self-trust. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and far too many houseplants.
