Lately, something shifted in me… my irrational moods could make a toddler screaming in the cereal aisle look tame, my new bloated belly makes a Thanksgiving turkey look like a slim jim, and don’t even get me started on my periods.
Honestly, when I look in the mirror, I’m not sure who this woman is anymore. My hair does this new trick where it dries out and sheds around my cycle, the dark circles around my eyes would make a zombie jealous- what is sleep anymore? And why the heck won’t my spouse leave the thermostat alone? Is he not melting in his own skin at night too? (59 degrees is a reasonable temperature for sure.)
I just don’t feel like me- not even close.
After my mother witnessed my level 12 meltdown over forgetting the– now burnt– casserole in the oven and my forgetful kiddo “just remembering” a science project that’s due tomorrow with a bag of frozen peas strapped to my neck. (why is it so dang hot in here?!) She laid down some hard truths I wasn’t ready to face.
“Have you considered you might be perimenopausal?”
Excuse me?
“I’m not that old mother.”
With an eye roll, she disengaged the wailing smoke alarm and explained to me old doesn’t have anything to do with it. To my surprise, perimenopause can start as early as 30.
At the vibrant age of 35, I waved down the denial train and jumped in a first class seat.
Good ol Mom told me to check out SEMAINE’s 40+ Essentials. Which I wasn’t game for at first, but the woman dealt with me in my teen years– I figured I’d humor her just this once… (Sorry again for getting that tattoo Mom.)

And, as usual, mother knows best…
Turns out– it’s exactly what my raging hormones needed to chill out and get me back to my normal self– the me before Hulk level meltdowns and sweat soaked sheets at night.
I switched over to the all-natural hormone relief side and I’m never going back. (I know we said that about bangs too– but this time I really mean it!)
What is Perimenopause and How Do I Know If It’s Happening To Me?
According to the Mayo Clinic, Perimenopause means “around menopause” and refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years.
Everyone’s body and hormone scale is a little different, therefore, perimenopause can rear its ugly head anywhere from your early 30’s to mid 50’s and can last up to ten years!
So why does this shift happen?
During perimenopause your estrogen levels rise and fall unevenly. Leaving your periods in disarray. They may become longer, shorter, irregular, or even heavier. You may even have cycles despite not ovulating that month. (Trippy and counterproductive right?)

And let’s not forget the super fun symptoms that tag along:
- Hot flashes/night sweats
- Sleep problems
- Dryness– hair, skin, vagina
- Mood swings
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Brain fog/forgetfulness
- Decreased libido
- Anxious/Depressed/Feeling down or off
- Fatigue
Once you’ve gone through 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, you’ve officially reached menopause– the perimenopause period is over. (Please confirm the official diagnosis with your doctor.)
However, it’s never that easy… of course.
Perimenopause can be a jerk when it comes to your cycle. Here you are, battling through these irregular periods and then you get a few months of no period and think “This is it! I’m finally hitting menopause!”
Then BAM! Another period starts up and your countdown starts all over…. Like I said– JERK.
40+ Essentials is perfect for knocking out those bothersome symptoms and letting you get back to being YOU!

“Sleep is better
Before menopause I’d sleep great, but not sure if it is the night sweats or something else, but this has really messed with me. For the past month since I started these pills, I’ve had WAYYYY fewer nights where I woke up sweating. Don’t know why, but I LOVE IT!!” -Suzie W.

Are you feeling like your metabolism is slowing
We all know our metabolism slows down as we get older but for some reason in our 40s it gets extra obvious. If your love handles keep growing and it is hard to understand why, then this is for you.
Are your moods and sleep starting to be unpredictable
One second menopause is a lifetime away- the next it’s right around the corner. (A corner we’ve tried to dodge forever…) Our sweat soaked sheets, mood swings, joint pain, dry skin, brain fog, and a smidge of depression and anxiety are hard to deny at this point. It feels like a health crisis on the rise.
Are you just feeling “off”
Have smaller things, like your significant other’s socks “just missing” the hamper…again, been causing you to have a level 5 meltdown? Have you felt down, anxious, unable to focus, or moody and not sure why?
