Most women think menopause is something that happens way later — in their 50s. But what no one tells you is that the first stage of this transition, perimenopause, can start much earlier — even in your mid-30s to early 40s.

And here’s the kicker: it often sneaks up on you. Suddenly your cycle shifts, your moods swing, and your body doesn’t respond to the things that used to work. You’re left wondering, “Is something wrong with me?”

Today, we’re unpacking:

  • What early perimenopause actually is

  • The first symptoms you may notice

  • How it impacts hormones, energy, and even weight

  • And most importantly — how to stay on top of things so you don’t feel blindsided.
