If you’re over 35 and experiencing increased inflammation and low energy, you might be in perimenopause. Hormonal changes during this time can trigger inflammation throughout your body and brain, leading to various issues such as pain, fogginess, anxiety, depression, itchy skin, and gut problems. This inflammation can disrupt your sleep, affect your circadian rhythm, and harm your microbiome.

After 35, progesterone levels decline, contributing to increased inflammation and decreased energy. Additionally, insulin resistance worsens inflammation, a common issue for women in perimenopause due to metabolic and hormonal changes.

To avoid becoming insulin resistant, which leads to fat storage rather than burning, it’s crucial to maintain insulin sensitivity. Natural methods and supplements can help reduce inflammation safely and effectively.

Addressing five key areas – sleep, movement, diet, mindset, and supplements – can help reduce inflammation during perimenopause and prevent chronic health issues. Incorporating  progesterone, lifestyle changes, and supplements like high-dose turmeric, probiotics, magnesium, quercetin, Vitamin B6, selenium, and Vitamin D3 can be beneficial.

Chronic inflammation, unlike acute inflammation, persists long-term and can lead to various health problems, including impaired immune function, mood disturbances, sleep issues, weight gain, and bowel irregularities.

Repairing and supporting the gut and digestive system are essential for reducing inflammation and reclaiming metabolic health. An anti-inflammatory diet, supported fasting, and avoiding gluten can help alleviate gastrointestinal inflammation.

Supplementation with turmeric, probiotics, magnesium, quercetin, Vitamin B complex, selenium, and Vitamin D3 can further decrease inflammation and support overall health during perimenopause.

A good night’s sleep is crucial for regulating circadian rhythm and boosting serotonin production, which plays a vital role in mood. Additionally, reducing inflammation restores the function of GABA receptors, essential for nerve cell regulation and mental health.
