Hormones + Perimenopause: Symptoms and Support

Hormones + Perimenopause: Symptoms and Support

Perimenopause is the slow hormonal unraveling that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years — but for many, it doesn’t feel slow or gentle. It brings waves of symptoms that can affect mood, metabolism, skin, sleep, and more. While mainstream solutions often focus on hormonal replacement or prescriptions, there’s a powerful opportunity in supporting your body’s natural rhythm with plant-based therapies — particularly through transdermal absorption and targeted herbal support.

Let’s explore what’s really going on in perimenopause.

What is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the transitional window leading up to menopause, typically beginning in a woman's late 30s to early 40s, and lasting 4 to 10 years. During this time:

  • Estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate unpredictably.

  • Ovulation becomes irregular, and the luteal phase shortens, meaning progesterone production drops earlier and more frequently.

  • The body begins to show symptoms of estrogen dominance (too much estrogen relative to progesterone), even if estrogen is declining overall.

These fluctuations can trigger a wide range of symptoms — often long before your period actually stops.

 

Common Symptoms of Perimenopause

  • Mood Swings, Anxiety, or Irritability
    Often tied to progesterone deficiency and imbalances in estrogen-cortisol signaling.

  • Heavy or Irregular Periods
    Due to erratic ovulation and unopposed estrogen stimulating the uterine lining.

  • Breast Tenderness
    A sign of estrogen spikes or poor detoxification.

  • Fatigue and Brain Fog
    Often due to cortisol dysregulation, mitochondrial slowdown, or thyroid compensation.

  • Weight Gain (especially in abdomen or thighs)
    Driven by insulin resistance, slowed metabolism, and estrogen dominance.

  • Bloating or Water Retention
    Linked to sluggish lymphatic flow and hormone imbalance.

  • Joint Pain, Skin Changes, or Hair Loss
    Signs of inflammation and declining estrogen support for collagen, hydration, and tissue repair.

 

 

How FLOW Supports the Perimenopausal Body

Your FLOW serum is formulated with botanicals and cold-pressed oils that address several core imbalances during perimenopause — particularly:

  • Lymphatic stagnation (contributing to bloat and toxin buildup)

  • Estrogen dominance

  • Progesterone deficiency

  • Liver overload (poor hormone clearance)

  • Circulatory sluggishness

  • Inflammation & cortisol dysregulation

Ingredient Deep Dive: FLOW Serum

1. Organic Cold-Pressed Castor Oil

  • Supports lymphatic drainage and liver detox, critical for estrogen clearance.

  • Enhances circulation to the uterus, ovaries, and skin.

  • Known to improve bowel regularity, helping eliminate estrogen metabolites via the gut.

2. Organic Evening Primrose Oil

  • High in GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), a precursor to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.

  • Promotes progesterone production, improving mood, sleep, and menstrual regulation.

  • May reduce breast tenderness, PMS symptoms, and hormonal acne.

3. Organic Black Cumin Seed Oil

  • Regulates blood sugar and insulin, crucial during perimenopause when insulin resistance increases.

  • Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in hormone-producing tissues.

  • May support healthy thyroid function and reduce fatigue or brain fog.

4. Organic Dried Marigold Blossom (Calendula)

  • Gentle liver tonic and lymph mover — ideal for improving estrogen clearance and reducing bloating.

  • Supports skin repair, helpful during phases of estrogen fluctuation that dry or sensitize the skin.

5. Organic Red Clover Blossom

  • Rich in phytoestrogens (plant-based estrogen-like compounds) that balance estrogen receptor activity.

  • Can reduce hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats by modulating estrogen levels safely.

  • Acts as a circulatory and skin tonic.

6. Organic Black Cohosh Root

  • Helps relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings by modulating estrogen receptor response.

  • Calms the HPA axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system), improving the body's stress response.

  • Especially helpful when used transdermally or near adrenal/ovarian regions.

Other Supportive Supplements & Tools for Perimenopause

While FLOW works beautifully transdermally, many women benefit from combining it with internal support. Consider incorporating:

✔️ Magnesium (glycinate or chloride baths)

  • Supports adrenal recovery and eases anxiety and sleep issues.

  • Aids in liver detox and estrogen metabolism.

✔️ Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry)

  • Promotes healthy progesterone levels by supporting ovulation.

  • Eases PMS, mood swings, and cycle length irregularities.

✔️ DIM (Diindolylmethane)

  • Helps break down estrogen into protective pathways.

  • Beneficial for estrogen dominance, breast tenderness, and fibroids.

✔️ Liver-supporting teas (dandelion, burdock, ginger)

  • Enhance phase I & II liver detoxification, essential for hormone clearance.
