BLOOD TESTS TO CONSIDER IN PERIMENOPAUSE // There’s a lot happening in the body during perimenopause (for more detail on this, scroll back through my posts) and blood tests can be a good starting point to give more insight into what’s going on for you. These blood tests can give you more information, especially if you’re dealing with brain fog, sugar cravings, low energy and mood swings. Not everything in this time of life can be pinned on perimenopause. There might be other things going on, such as hypothyroidism, iron-deficiency anaemia, type 2 diabetes or something else.

The eagle-eyed might note that I haven’t included hormone tests here. Obviously, I believe in the power of testing hormone levels, however in perimenopause, oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate greatly, so you would need to be testing these hormone at the same time every month for at least six months to get an insight into what those fluctuations look like for you. A urine test is a more detailed way to look at what’s going with hormones like oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone (and their metabolites) at this time of life (especially if you’re on HRT), but this isn’t something that’s offered on the NHS and needs to be done privately.

Are you in perimenopause? Has blood testing given you more information about what’s going on in your body?

HOW YOUR PERIOD CAN CHANGE DURING PERIMENOPAUSE // If you’re in your 40s, you may have begun to notice changes your period, your menstrual cycle and how often you ovulate. All of this is totally normal, and part of perimenopause, the natural phase of life we will experience if we have a period or a menstrual cycle. It’s really helpful to understand that the hormonal fluctuations we experience during this time (wildly fluctuating estrogen, cycles with no ovulation, which means no progesterone) can lead to changes in even the most regular of periods and menstrual cycles. No need to panic! If you start to notice changes, start to note down what you’re experiencing and see if you can start to spot patterns (there may not be any!).

Are you in perimenopause? Have you noticed any changes to your period or menstrual cycle?

IMPACT OF PERIMENOPAUSE ON DIGESTION // The changes in estrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause can impact so many parts of our bodies, leading to symptoms and issues we’ve never previously dealt with (itchy ears, anyone?). This also includes our digestive system, which can lead to digestive discomfort, bloating, diarrhoea, food sensitivities, and even constipation.

If you’re experiencing these issues, it’s always worth taking the time to notice what’s going on and tracking when they’re happening, so that you can make links to the hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle. Sluggish bowels, bloating and constipation can be connected with inconsistent progesterone levels, and hugely fluctuating estrogen can impact the diversity of the gut microbiome, which can also affect our moods.

6 WAYS TO HAVE A BETTER PERIMENOPAUSE // Perimenopause is a natural phase of our lives, when we gradually (over a period of up to 7-10 years!) stop ovulating, our estradiol levels fluctuate drastically and we eventually switch to a different, less potent form of estrogen, called estrone.

If you have a period and a menstrual cycle, then you will go through perimenopause, the transition to menopause, the day when you haven’t had a period for 12 month.

What we do during this time of our lives can both positively and negatively affect our experience of the perimenopause. Here are 6 areas to consider that can positively influence this time.

Are you in perimenopause? What habits are you adding in to support yourself?

FOODS TO SUPPORT PERIMENOPAUSE // Perimenopause is our transition to menopause, the one day when we haven’t had a period for 12 months. After that, we move into our post-menopause life.

Perimenopause can last anywhere from 7 - 10 years and means gradual changes to our periods, how often we ovulate, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels and more.

Being aware that perimenopause a natural process that happens to everyone with a period and menstrual cycle helps you prepare for this transition when it happens.

How you nourish your body through what you eat is one way you can proactively manage this transition. Adding foods to support your liver, how you experience stress and manage your blood sugar levels can all help.

Have you noticed the effects of what you eat on managing perimenopause symptoms, both positively and negatively?

WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY 2026 // The earlier you support your menstrual and hormone health, the smoother your journey into perimenopause and menopause.

One of the most common things I hear in my practice is: “I wish I knew about my menstrual cycle and how to manage my menstrual health much earlier in life.” Once you have this knowledge and are making changes that have a positive effect on your period and hormone health, you’re creating great foundations for the eventual transition into perimenopause and menopause. A quick reminder: perimenopause is the natural transition to menopause in our mid to late 40s (but can sometimes be as early as our late 30s) when our ovaries gradually stop producing estradiol, our most potent form of estrogen. Menopause is the one day when you haven’t had a period for at least 12 months.

For those of you that are already there or on the cusp of perimenopause, going back to the basics of prioritising sleep, drinking lots of water, taking deep breaths, eating your greens and intentional movement that supports bone, muscle, cardiovascular, brain and hormone health is so beneficial. Mindful alcohol and sugar intake helps too.

Above anything, we have to keep taking about menstruation, perimenopause and menopause so that they stop being taboo and more of us understand what’s normal and what isn’t.

PREMENSTRUAL SYMPTOMS OR PERIMENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS // Perimenopause is a very real phase of life, despite what some of you may have been told. Estradiol, the dominant form of estrogen in our menstruating years fluctuates hugely and then we very gradually make less of it, and anovulatory cycles mean that we don’t always have that cushioning from progesterone, our calming hormone, in the second half of our menstrual cycle.

If you think you might be perimenopausal (again, this is a natural phase of life for anyone with a period and a menstrual cycle and not a medical condition!), start to note where in your menstrual cycle your symptoms appear. Are you starting to notice new symptoms appearing? Note down when they appear, how long they last and start to create a vocabulary around what you’re experiencing.

HARNESS THE POWER OF YOUR HORMONES // If you have a period and a menstrual cycle, then there are so many benefits in learning how to harness the power of your cyclical hormones (even in perimenopause!)

I had the pleasure of delivering a workshop all about this today at YouTube, where we were able to unpack myths about the luteal phase, learn about how the menstrual phase is the best time for deep analytical thinking and why our communication skills are on point during ovulation.

This isn’t self-optimisation or hacking, but simply learning more about your body and how to use the cyclical hormonal changes we experience to our advantage in our work and personal lives.

Get in touch if you want me to deliver this workshop at your place of work.

PHASES OF PERIMENOPAUSE // What I’ve found incredibly helpful as I personally navigate perimenopause, is understanding that it’s not necessarily something that will hit me all at once, but rather a gradual process.

I’m in very early perimenopause, so I’ve been noting the changes in my periods and menstrual cycle - both have gotten a few days shorter.

I’ve also been paying more attention to cervical fluid because I know that I don’t always ovulate every menstrual cycle now. If I see cervical fluid close to when I expect my period to arrive, that means I didn’t ovulate and my estrogen levels are still relatively high.

Knowing these phases of perimenopause, which were helpfully originated by Canadian professor Dr. Jerilynn Prior, means that for me personally, I can go through this transition to my last period with my eyes open, being sure to nourish myself well, move my body and set really clear boundaries.

When it comes to your body, knowledge really is power and the more you know, the better you can prepare yourself for your own perimenopausal transition.

Did it surprise you to learn that there are phases to perimenopause?
