Hi, I’m Jen Sweeney, a.k.a. The Midlife Master. When I hit age 43, I started to experience weight gain, mood swings, exhaustion, and sleepless nights. My first thought was: what’s going on here? As a long-time patient advocate and healthcare insider, I was baffled by the medical community's utter cluelessness on the perimenopause symptoms I was experiencing. I took it upon myself to do the research, find the facts, and make it easier for myself and other women to get through perimenopause in one piece. Then, I did something really heroic, really crazy, or both:
I wrote the perimenopause survival guide I wish someone had handed me when I began perimenopause.
I wanted this Guide to be easy and fun to read and to be filled with all of the information I so desperately needed when I entered this phase of life. So, I distilled the best, most “need-to-know” information from over 75 books, thousands of pages of medical articles, and hundreds of interviews to create the ultimate perimenopausal guide—all with a healthy dose of humor and real-life wit. I did all this so you don’t have to.
I hope you enjoy and benefit from my thousands of hours of research and perspective, as much as I enjoyed writing it!
