Let’s take a deeper look at lifestyle and perimenopause. Studies show that obesity, stress, and toxins can all make symptoms worse—but the good news is, there’s a lot you can do.
Midlife often means caring for both aging parents and children, and it’s easy for your own health to slip down the list. But remember: your family will be healthier and happier if you are healthier and happier.
Start by taking time for yourself. Boost oxytocin—the “love hormone”—through intimacy and orgasm, but also through simple, nourishing practices: spending time with loved ones, walking barefoot in nature, listening to calming music, doing yoga, or starting your day with meditation and exercise.
Lifestyle choices matter too. Alcohol can worsen histamine intolerance, which is common in perimenopause. Try cutting back, or if you do drink, consider vodka (lowest in histamines), and look at supplements like Designs for Health HistaGest DAO.
Making space for your own wellbeing isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Prioritize you, and thrive in perimenopause.
