Are you in the change before the change?
What is happening to my body?
Could I be in perimenopause?
Could I be in perimenopause… already?
These are questions that almost every woman asks herself at some point in her life. If you think you’re too young for perimenopause, think again. Due to modern-day environmental factors, women as young as late 20s/early 30s are entering the change before the change.
Perimenopause should not be thought of as a disease or treated like one. It’s a naturally occurring transition. You can alleviate its symptoms in various ways, depending on how far along in the transition you are presently.
If you’ve found yourself asking these questions, take the following quiz to clear up your current status.

Total Score: _________
If your total score is between 10 and 18: Don’t worry, you’re not going crazy. You’re probably just beginning the perimenopause transition. A hormone-regulating diet, supplements, regular moderate exercise, and better management of stress may be all you need to alleviate your symptoms.
If your total score is between 18 and 28: Diet, exercise, and stress management may or may not be enough to alleviate your symptoms. Additional nutrients and natural progesterone cream should make all the difference.
If your total score is above 28: You’re fully in perimenopause. The remedies mentioned for the lower scores may be sufficient. If they’re not, consider taking natural hormones. But first have a saliva test to determine your hormone levels.
