Comprehensive Guide to Managing Perimenopause Symptoms: Natural Remedies, Hormonal Therapies, and Lifestyle Strategies

Introduction: Is Perimenopause Sneaking Up on You?

Are you feeling like your body is changing overnight? You’re not alone. Many women experience perimenopause earlier than expected, sometimes starting as early as their mid-30s.
