5 Things No One Tells You...

 
Pretty Ripe | Volume 50 - 5 Things No One Tells You About Perimenopause

...about perimenopause. Actually, no one tells you anything--which is why you probably feel alone, uneducated and incapable of coping. Me too. I launched this newsletter to share research, tips and empathy because perimenopause hit me like a hormonal tsunami a few years ago. Here are five things I wish I knew then:

  • No, you are not going crazy.

  • Yes, a gynecologist can help you find some relief.

  • Yes, your friends can help you too. Lean on them.

  • No, this hell is not forever. Perimenopause lasts an average of fours years--like high school.

  • Yes, you will come out of this a stronger, smarter and sexier woman. Trust.

Be sure to follow PRETTY RIPE on Insta to catch the upcoming "Hot & Bothered" IG LIVE series with gynecologist Dr. Manuela Maria Vazquez of LaMariaMD. Oh, we are breaking down perimenopause.
