What menopause and perimenopause mean
Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause, when cycles can change and symptoms may appear. Menopause is defined as having no periods for 12 months.
If you are unsure what stage you are in, a healthcare professional can help you assess your symptoms and options.
Lifestyle foundations that matter most
Lifestyle changes can help many people feel better during perimenopause and menopause, and support long term health. nhs.uk+1
Focus on:
- A balanced diet with enough protein and fibre
- Regular movement, including strength work where possible
- Sleep consistency and stress management
- Reducing alcohol if it worsens how you feel
- Building routines you can actually stick to
When to seek help
Speak to a healthcare professional if symptoms feel unmanageable, affect daily life, or if you have concerns like persistent bleeding changes, significant pain, or anything that feels unusual. There are evidence based options available, including lifestyle support and medical treatments. nhs.uk+1
Where supplements fit
Supplements are not a substitute for medical care, and they are not instant. If you choose a supplement, use this checklist:
- Clear labelling with serving size and full ingredient list
- Sensible, compliant wording rather than guaranteed outcomes
- Quality standards and documented manufacturing
- Check suitability if you take medication or have a condition
- Choose what you can take consistently
