Peri-Menopause and Menopause

Peri-Menopause and Menopause

A whole lot of difference!

Think of perimenopause as the “transition phase” before menopause. Your hormones start to fluctuate, and your periods can get irregular—sometimes lighter, sometimes heavier, or even skipped. You might notice hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, or changes in energy. Even though your body is shifting, your periods haven’t completely stopped yet. This phase usually starts in your 40s and can last several years.

Menopause, on the other hand, is the official milestone: your periods have completely stopped for 12 months in a row, and your hormone levels settle at a lower, more stable level. Some symptoms from perimenopause, like hot flashes or sleep changes, may continue, but your body has officially moved into a new phase of life.

Symptoms are often vague and difficult to pin-point, so we have listed the most common Menopause changes for you here

 

1. Menstrual & Reproductive Changes

  • Irregular periods: cycles may be shorter, longer, or skipped entirely.
  • Heavier or lighter bleeding: spotting or unexpectedly heavier flow.
  • End of fertility: menopause marks the permanent end of ovulation and menstruation.
  • Vaginal changes: thinning vaginal walls, dryness, irritation, and less elasticity.
  • Sexual changes: decreased libido, pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), and reduced natural lubrication.

 

2. Hot Flashes & Night Sweats

  • Hot flashes: sudden feelings of intense heat, often starting in the chest or face.
  • Flushing or redness: sometimes accompanied by rapid heartbeat or sweating.
  • Night sweats: hot flashes that disrupt sleep and lead to fatigue.

 

3. Sleep Disturbances

  • Trouble falling asleep.
  • Waking frequently at night.
  • Insomnia or poor sleep quality.
  • Night sweats contributing to disrupted rest.

We have initiated Clean Label application. 

Clean Label Project™ is all about uncovering what product labels don’t tell you, so you can feel better about the things you use every day. Regular food safety checks often stop at bacteria and pathogens—but we dig deeper, looking for hidden stuff like heavy metals, pesticides, and plasticizers that most people never hear about.

Using real data and solid science, we’re raising the bar for product safety and recognizing brands that truly care about purity and transparency. If you want safer, cleaner products on the shelves, you choose for a Clean Label certified product.
