During perimenopause, it's not just your body that shifts, your emotional landscape can too. Some women notice a subtle, creeping numbness that doesn’t feel like typical sadness or stress. It’s not that everything is terribly wrong, but rather that nothing quite feels right anymore. This experience, called anhedonia, can be deeply confusing and disconcerting, especially when it's tied to hormonal changes.

What we eat has a powerful impact on how we feel—physically and emotionally. Yet nutrition advice can be overwhelming, and even contradictory. If you’ve ever wondered how food choices influence hormones and overall wellness, you’re not alone. Here’s their guidance for nourishing your body (and mood) while hormones are shifting.

Sex and intimacy are important parts of health and wellbeing—but they’re often left out of the menopause conversation. While hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings get plenty of attention, changes in sex drive (libido) can be just as impactful during perimenopause.

If you’ve noticed your sexual desire shifting in your late 30s or 40s, you’re not alone. Fluctuating hormones, physical changes, and lifestyle factors all play a role. Here’s what to expect, what’s normal, and strategies that can help.
