When it comes to menopause, women have been trained to wait until 45 or 50 — after hot flashes, mood swings, irregular periods, loss of sex drive have already surfaced — to spot treat symptoms with prescriptions and hormone therapy. But FLO Living has discovered that if we hack our hormones starting at age 35 with natural, therapy-grade supplements and micronutrients, we don’t have to suffer with extreme symptoms.

what is perimenopause

Perimenopause is the long process of downshifting hormones that ultimately ends your cycle.

The average age of menopause is 52 years old. But perimenopause, which is the hormonal process that leads to menopause, actually starts in the brain at age 35. Slowly, the pituitary gland starts making more and more Follicular Stimulating Hormone, which suppresses ovulation. After 10-15 years of increased FSH, and decreased progesterone production, you’ll stop ovulating, have your final period, and be considered post-menopausal.

Flo Facts
Stage one of perimenopause is 35-45, when you are still cycling and have a decent amount of progesterone.
During stage two from 45-52, your FSH levels continue to rise and progesterone production drops more, leading to heavier bleeding as estrogen goes unopposed, shorter cycles, and eventually skipped periods.
Ovulation protects your brain, heart, and bones, so having your cycle as long as possible is to your advantage.

conventional treatment

The current perimenopause treatment options aren’t working.

Typical management:

Prescribe birth control or Hormone Replacement Therapy to slow down X.
Increase dieting and exercise to deal with rapid weight gain.
Use alcohol and caffeine to combat perimenopausal insomnia and fatigue.

Why this doesn’t work:

Taking the pill prevents you from ovulating and puts you at greater risk of brain, bone, and heart issues in menopause.
Mismanaging blood sugar in perimenopause will lead to weight gain and hot flashes.
Doing the wrong workouts will lead to weight gain and exacerbate symptoms.

Hormone replacement therapy isn’t your only option.

If you have genetic risk factors for cancer, HRT, even the bio-identical hormones, may not be your safest option. Flo Living offers a natural, preventative option to HRT that’s safe for all women.

Getting a jumpstart on your hormonal health now can pay off later.

When you start addressing perimenopause at the age of 35, you can extend how long you menstruate, preserve your fertility for longer and minimize symptoms leading into menopause.
‍
Micronutrients can be used to boost production of estrogen and progesterone so they do not decline as rapidly, and you slow down hormonal aging.
‍
Having a regular cycle for longer protects your bone density, brain, and heart health for when you are post-menopausal.

Better understand your hormonal health now to know where you’re heading.
