Your Gut, Neurotransmitters, and Perimenopause: What Every Woman Should Know
In our last blog, we discussed how the erratic estrogen fluctuations of perimenopause disrupt the production of serotonin and dopamine — two neurotransmitters essential for mood, motivation, sleep, and emotional well-being. The good news is that in addition to hormone therapy, there are evidence-based nutritional supplements that can support your body’s ability to produce these critical brain chemicals.
The Truth About Perimenopause and Your Mood
Last week, a patient sat in my office and told me a story I have heard far too many times. She was 42 years old. Over the past year, she had developed new-onset anxiety and depression that felt unlike anything she had experienced before. She went to four different doctors. Each one had a different recommendation. One said it was stress. Another prescribed an antidepressant. A third suggested therapy. Her gynecologist told her she was “too young” for hormonal changes and dismissed her concerns entirely. She asked every single one of them about her hormones. Not one took her seriously. Unfortunately, her story is not unique. It is the story of millions of women whose early perimenopausal hormonal shifts are dismissed, overlooked, or misattributed to life circumstances.
