Hormonal Changes In Perimenopause

Perimenopause is a transitional phase that brings significant hormonal changes affecting the body and mind. Estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, leading to irregular cycles, hot flashes, and mood shifts. Testosterone and DHEA, which support energy, libido, and muscle mass, may decline, while melatonin changes can disrupt sleep. Cortisol and insulin imbalances can affect stress response, weight management, and metabolic health. Together, these hormonal shifts create a complex landscape that influences overall well-being, making awareness and support essential during this stage.
