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.
From the Blog: Real Talk for Real Hormones
No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just science-backed advice, cheeky encouragement, and the kind of midlife support you actually want to read. Whether you're riding the emotional rollercoaster or wondering if brain fog is your new personality—I've got you.

Vaginal Dryness Sucks—But You Don’t Have To Suffer
How to Reclaim Comfort, Confidence, and Moisture (Yep, We’re Going There)
"Life doesn't end with menopause; it's the beginning of a new adventure. Strap in and enjoy the ride!" — Dame Helen Mirren
The Silent Ache: Why This Matters More Than You Think
Let’s be real—vaginal dryness is about as fun as wearing sandpaper as underwear. But here’s the thing: this isn’t just some annoying side effect of aging. It’s your body’s quiet cry for help. And ignoring it? Not the move.
I've felt the discomfort. The awkwardness. The is-this-my-life-now kind of dread. But trust me—there are solutions. And more importantly, there’s hope.
What’s Actually Going On Down There?
Meet estrogen—the hormone MVP keeping your vaginal tissue plump, juicy, and elastic. But during perimenopause, estrogen takes a nosedive, and suddenly your once-resilient nether regions feel… well, parched.
“It’s the place where all the most painful things have happened. But it has given me indescribable pleasure.” — Madonna
And heads up: it’s not just dryness. Estrogen loss impacts your bladder, urethra, and pelvic floor too. That pee-when-you-sneeze situation? The random urgency? The post-intimacy sting? All connected.
Here’s What Actually Helps
1. Lubricants: Not Just for Sexy Time
Think of lube as your new BFF—hydrating, comforting, and 100% judgment-free. Look for water- or aloe-based options that ditch the fragrances and weird chemicals.
2. Daily Moisturizers: Yes, They’re a Thing
These go deeper than lube. Moisturizers work behind the scenes to rebuild hydration and prevent that dry, tight, itchy feeling.
“The pelvic floor relies heavily on estrogen to do its thing... Dryness, burning, spotting, and pelvic floor dysfunction are real symptoms of low estrogen.” — Sara Reardon, PT, DPT, WCS
3. Bioidentical Vaginal Estrogen Therapy
If your tissues are really throwing a tantrum, vaginal estrogen can help—targeted relief, low risk, and big results. Talk to your doc about creams, tablets, or rings.
4. Pelvic Floor Therapy: The Unsung Hero
Leaking when you laugh? Avoiding trampolines like your life depends on it? Time to call a pelvic floor specialist. These pros help rebuild muscle tone, restore function, and boost confidence where it counts.
5. Hydrate From the Inside
Water is great, but your tissues need fat too. Load up on Omega-3s from salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts, and high-quality fish oil. Your vagina (and your brain) will thank you.
6. Self-Care, but Make It Vagina-Friendly
Gentle things go a long way:
Warm Epsom salt baths
Cool compresses for quick relief
Coconut or vitamin E oil for that extra TLC
The Emotional Side: Yep, It’s Real
Vaginal dryness isn’t just a physical buzzkill—it can shake your confidence, mess with your relationships, and make you feel like a stranger in your own skin. But here’s the truth:
You’re not broken. You’re just shifting. And you deserve support.
Talk to your partner. Laugh with your bestie. Cry if you need to. But don’t stay silent.
Want a sassier take on this conversation? Read: Is Your Vagina Talking? Here’s How to Listen and Thrive. Trust me, it’ll make you laugh and learn.
When to See a Doctor
If you’re dealing with constant discomfort, spotting, pain, or infections—don’t wait. Book the appointment. Get the help. You don’t have to just “deal with it.”
Final Take: Your Vagina Deserves a Comeback
Perimenopause may bring dryness, but it doesn’t get the final say. Whether it’s bioidentical hormones, pelvic floor therapy, or lube that makes your bathroom drawer blush—there are ways to feel like you again.
So listen to your body. Show her some love. And don’t let anyone tell you this is just how it has to be.
You’ve got this—and you’re never alone.
Hormonally Yours,
Kimberlee Erin
