Take the extra step

It’s also essential to remember that, while there are medical options for women suffering through perimenopause and menopause, there are other key things you can do to enhance your quality of life at this time.

#1 Be informed and educate yourself

Being aware of what’s going on for you biologically is important; reaching out for help and knowing that you are not alone is helpful.

#2 Practice self-care

Self-care is important during this period. This can include changing your diet, looking after your emotional and physical wellbeing, exercising and managing your sleep routine well.

#3 Look at the options for psychological support

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is known to be an effective therapeutic treatment, and seeking help for any mental health challenges can be useful.
