The stretch from Thanksgiving to New Year’s can feel like someone pressed “fast-forward” on life. More events. More sugar. More late nights. More emotions (cue perimenopause!). More everrrryyyything.

And if we’re honest? It’s really easy to lose your center.

That’s why the most important part of staying well during the holidays isn’t perfection.
It’s foundation

One day, you’re feeling great—full of energy, ready to tackle your to-do list. The next? You’re crying because you ran out of butter, forgetting everything, waking up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night, hot flashes at the most inconvenient of times and going ape $*&t at your family over absolutely nothing. Sound familiar? Welcome to perimenopause, the phase before menopause where your hormones decide to throw a party… and you’re not invited.
