CHRISTA ORECCHIO
Learn about the 3 phases of menopause (perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause) and how to minimize symptoms by creating balance and harmony within the body.
Most women who think they are in perimenopause are just depleted from being under stress. As a result, menopause gets a bad name. While it signifies the end of your menstrual cycle and can be coupled with unwanted symptoms, such as hot flashes, weight gain, and mood swings, that does not have to be the case.
