The lifestyle side of perimenopause — sleep, movement and stress — does more for your symptoms than any capsule. This is the honest, unglamorous truth the supplement ads leave out, and it is where the biggest gains are.
The three that matter most
- Sleep — the highest-value target. Poor sleep worsens fog, palpitations, mood and weight.
- Strength training — protects the muscle you are losing, supports joints, and steadies metabolism.
- Stress management — chronically high cortisol makes almost every symptom worse.
