Does this sound familiar? Your mood, energy, or sleep suddenly feel unpredictable. You’re wondering if you might be entering perimenopause, yet finding clear answers feels nearly impossible. Even though this is a transition most women experience, reliable information and support can be surprisingly hard to find.
In this class, Danielle MacDowell, M.S., CNS, LDN, will guide you through what’s really happening beneath the surface. She will explain the hormonal shifts that occur during perimenopause and how they influence your body, brain, and metabolism. Together, you’ll explore the most common signs and symptoms, with special attention to the “Core 4” that affect so many women. You’ll also learn how perimenopause is not just a hormonal shift but a nervous system shift as well. You will uncover how changes in estrogen and progesterone impact key neurotransmitters like GABA, serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate, shaping mood, memory, and emotional well-being.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of your body’s transitions and practical ways to support your nervous system, hormones, and overall well-being during this transformative time.
