JJ Virgin admits she's skipping exercise, sleep, hydration, and socializing. During perimenopause, your margin for error shrinks, so those basics become non-negotiable. A menopause specialist can help you dial in what your body actually needs.
Have you exercised today? No. Did you go outside? No. Did you talk to anyone? No. Did you eat well?
No.
Did you limit your scrolling time? No. Did you make any plans? No. Did you drink enough water?
No.
Did you get enough sleep?
No. Okay, first of all, I don't know about you, but when guys start talking about perimenopause, it makes me kind of want to slap them. But here's the reality. When you're going through perimenopause, your margin of error goes way down. The old days where you could stay out late, where you could have an extra drink, those days, my friend, those days are over. So do all the right things, and then remember, you don't have to suffer. Go seek out a menopause specialist to help you through this.
