Is Perimenopause Running the Show (and Not Letting You Read the Script)?
Let’s change that—starting today.
Perimenopause can feel like a full-time job no one trained you for. The mood swings. The fatigue. The 3AM anxiety spirals. Sound familiar?
You don’t have to do this alone—and you shouldn’t
have to piece it together from late-night Google searches. That’s why I created these free guides to help you cut through the chaos and start feeling like you again.
Grab one now and get real-life tools to support your hormones, energy, mood, and more.
What Even is Perimenopause?
Think of it like the winding (and sometimes bumpy) road leading up to menopause. It usually kicks off in your 40s—but for some women, it can start even earlier.
Hormone shifts during this time can cause symptoms like:
✅Hot flashes that hit out of nowhere
✅Mood swings that rival your teen years
✅Night sweats, brain fog, and libido plot twists
✅Irregular periods that love to keep you guessing
Sound familiar?
It can feel like your body’s rewriting the script without telling you—but here’s the thing:
You’re not broken. You’re transitioning. And it’s completely normal.
The key is having the right tools, support, and knowledge to navigate it with more clarity (and a lot less confusion).
Hi, I'm Kim
Holistic Nutritionist. Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist. Midlife truth-teller.
I’ve been where you are—confused, exhausted, and wondering if I was the only one Googling “why do I feel like a hormonal alien?” at 3AM.
Now, I help women in midlife ditch the guesswork and get real support for their hormones, health, and emotional well-being. My approach blends science-backed tools, mindset shifts, and plenty of permission to not have it all together!
This isn’t just about surviving perimenopause.
It’s about reclaiming your energy, your mood, your body—and your joy.
My Approach: Real Support, Real Women, Real Results
Let’s be real—midlife health advice often feels like it was written for 25-year-olds with zero hormone chaos and unlimited time. That’s not you. And it’s definitely not me.
Here’s what I believe:
✅You don’t need to “push through” or “just deal with it.”
✅Your symptoms aren’t in your head—they’re in your hormones.
✅Real change happens when we stop judging ourselves and start supporting ourselves (with food, movement, rest, and compassion).
As a Holistic Nutritionist and Menopause Coaching Specialist, I focus on science-backed strategies
blended with grace, humor, and zero shame. Whether you’re dealing with mood swings, fatigue, or a libido that ghosted you—there’s a way forward.
My work isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving your body what it needs and your mind the space to catch up.

Is Your Vagina Talking? Here’s How to Listen and Thrive
“And the beauty of a woman, with passing years only grows!” — Audrey Hepburn
Let’s be real: vaginal dryness in perimenopause is the conversation most people aren’t having—but absolutely should be. It’s one of the most common (and most ignored) midlife curveballs, and yet, we act like it’s a dirty little secret. Time to toss the shame and bring in the science, support, and some serious solutions.
If Halle Berry can drop a vaginal truth bomb on a podcast, so can we. 👏
As a Holistic Nutrition Consultant and Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist, I’m here to help you decode what your body’s trying to say—because yes, your vagina is talking. And it deserves to be heard.
What Even is Vaginal Dryness?
Spoiler: It’s not just about aging, and it’s definitely not a personal failing.
As estrogen dips during perimenopause, your vaginal tissue gets thinner, drier, and less elastic. But hormones aren’t the only culprits:
Medications – Antihistamines, antidepressants, and BP meds can dry out everything—including vaginal tissue.
Health Conditions – Thyroid issues, diabetes, autoimmune disorders? They all mess with hormones.
Lifestyle Stressors – Chronic stress ups cortisol and tanks estrogen. Smoking, bad sleep, and poor diet? Not helping.
Bottom line: Vaginal dryness is common and treatable. It’s your body waving a flag—not falling apart.
8 Ways to Reclaim Your Vaginal Mojo (Yes, Really)
1. Lube Up: Instant Relief, No Shame
Not all lubes are created equal. Look for:
💧 Water-based: Great all-around, safe with condoms.
✨ Silicone-based: Long-lasting and ultra-slick.
🌿 Organic options: Aloe, coconut oil (but skip oil-based with latex).
2. Moisturize Like You Mean It
Vaginal moisturizers aren’t just lube—they hydrate long-term:
💧 Hyaluronic acid (your vaginal tissue will thank you)
🌰 Vitamin E oil (nourishes and repairs)
3. Consider Vaginal Estrogen (Game-Changer Alert)
Local estrogen therapy = relief without full-body hormones. It can:
Reset pH
Improve elasticity
Make intimacy comfortable again
4. Hydrate Inside and Out
Water is sexy. So are:
🥒 Cucumber, watermelon, oranges
💦 Electrolytes (hello, Vega Hydrate!)
🚫 Cutting back on alcohol and caffeine (yes, I know this is a hard one!)
5. Eat for Hormones & Happy Tissue
Food = medicine for your vagina:
🐟 Omega-3s (flax, salmon, walnuts) = anti-inflammatory goodness
🌱 Phytoestrogens (soy, lentils) = nature’s estrogen mimickers
🥑 Vitamin E & healthy fats = natural lubrication boost

6. Chill the Heck Out
Stress wrecks hormones. Reclaim calm with:
🧘 Insight Timer or Calm app for guided meditations
🧍 Gentle yoga & walking
🌬️ Breathwork to reset your nervous system (yes, really)
➡️Struggling emotionally too? Why Am I Crying Again?! Understanding and Easing Perimenopausal Mood Swings might hit home.
7. Talk It Out: Communication Is Sexy
Don’t ghost your partner—loop them in:
💬 Share what’s up (you deserve empathy)
🧡 Explore new ways to connect
💞 Emotional intimacy = confidence (and better sex)
8. Try Natural Oils & Supportive Supplements
🥥 Coconut or Vitamin E oil for topical comfort
💊 Omega-3s, Vitamin D, collagen = plumper, happier tissue
When to Call in the Experts
Sometimes DIY isn’t enough. Talk to a menopause-informed doctor if you’re dealing with:
🔥 Burning, itching, or pain that won’t quit
🛏️ Painful intimacy that doesn’t improve with lube or moisturizer
😩 Combo symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, or insomnia
Ask about bioidentical hormones, compounded options, or vaginal estrogen tailored to you.

Rewrite the Story: From Silence to Power
Vaginal dryness isn’t a sign of fading femininity—it’s a sign your body needs a little extra TLC. And guess what? That’s not weakness. That’s wisdom.
As the queen Maya Angelou said:
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
So let’s ditch the silence, embrace the changes, and talk openly—because thriving in perimenopause means knowing your body, owning your journey, and saying yes to comfort and confidence.
Need a little inspo? Don’t miss Halle Berry’s unfiltered conversation about sex, aging, and yes—her vagina—on The Tamsen Show podcast. It’s raw, hilarious, and wildly refreshing. You’ll feel seen.
Hormonally Yours,
