Entering perimenopause was the most difficult time in my life. I swore to myself that if I was able to take back control of my body and spirit, I would share what I learned with as many people as possible to save them the same heartache. That’s what this guide is: my gift to you.
— Jen Sweeney

But don’t just take our word for it…

Thank you so much for this book. The research and writing are invaluable. Oftentimes, we women close our eyes and ears to our own issues and unpleasant conditions until our bodies scream at us for attention. Thank you to the author for letting all of us in on her journey.
— Ryoko M.
Three years ago, my doctor said my list of symptoms ‘could be perimenopause.’ When I asked what that meant, she simply said that it is a period of time before women go through menopause, and offered to put me on birth control pills or an anti-depressant. Reading this book, I finally feel heard and have such a better understanding of what I am going through. I took the author’s advice, and now have what I consider to be a ‘dream team’ of doctors. In my case, hormone therapy and changing my diet have alleviated almost all of my symptoms, and I feel like I have the energy of a 30-year-old again. We definitely need to advocate for ourselves when it comes to our healthcare. I’m so grateful for this guide, and for the Periwinkle online community.
— Christa D.
So grateful for this book. It is informative, easy to read and offers concrete steps that I can take to improve my health. Furthermore, it is validating!! I had hit a deadend...my doctor was no help, my friends didn’t have any more information than I did and I was feeling discouraged. I am only halfway through this book but am beginning to feel hope that I can feel better.
— Hae D.
