Our mobility, our bones, our muscles, all of this is being impacted by erratic changes in hormones.

When we get to early perimenopause, and that's usually early 40s, the thing about perimenopause,

and that's why it is so tricky. I always say it's like a moving target, is that there's no one day where it announces itself.
