In this episode we meet Lalaine. She first realized she was entering perimenopause when she found herself taking pregnancy tests because of her missed periods.

She experienced hot flashes and mood swings, both of which affected her at home and at work. Luckily, she had good support around her, allowing her to ride out her sudden mood changes without losing her confidence or her self-image.

Lalaine brings a calm and accepting energy to her perimenopause experience, drawing from her mother’s behaviour when her mother was experiencing this transition. In fact, using her mother as inspiration, she has been able to embrace the change and accept it as a natural part of life.

With this approach, she was able to focus on the good, especially the liberation from monthly periods and the severe cramping that went with them. Lelaine stays on top of her health, eating well and practicing self-care. This Filipina wisdom can help all of us as we navigate our own paths.

Eating a balanced and healthy diet is crucial for overall health at all stages of life, especially perimenopause and menopause. The Mediterranean diet is among the most popular diets that are full of nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. Along with being rich in flavors and culture, it's an excellent choice to help maintain your overall health due to its emphasis on plant-based ingredients.

Plus, its proven anti-inflammatory effects can help reduce the common discomforts perimenopausal women can experience before menopause officially takes effect.

Eating right can also increase energy levels and improve sleep quality so you feel your best throughout perimenopause and beyond.

Am I in menopause? PROJECT uses personal shared stories to:
• Give hope to women who are struggling with menopause
• Normalize menopause experiences
• Give real life examples of what has worked for other women
• Showcase women’s courage in the face of this midlife journey
