Perimenopause is a whole-body transition that can affect sleep, mood, energy, and temperature regulation. Hot flashes and night sweats are among the most common symptoms women experience in their 40s and 50s. These sudden temperature changes can interrupt sleep, affect concentration, and leave you feeling tired during the day. Many women are told to expect these symptoms, but not why they happen, how long they may last, or that effective treatment options are available.

In this lunchtime session, we will cover:

• what’s happening hormonally during perimenopause
• why vasomotor symptoms occur
• when symptoms should be assessed medically
• treatment options, including hormone therapy (HRT) and evidence-based non-hormonal approaches

The aim of this session is simple: to help you understand your symptoms and the options available, so you don’t have to just put up with them.
