What is actually happening inside the body during perimenopause, and why do so many women spend years getting misdiagnosed? What does the research say about the hormonal shifts that begin years before the last period? And why does the medical conversation around this transition remain so fragmented?Perimenopause Unfiltered is a citizen’s investigation into the science of female hormonal change, drawing on peer-reviewed research, endocrinology literature, and accounts from women who navigated the system without clear answers.This book covers the biology of estrogen and progesterone decline, the wide range of symptoms that appear years before menopause, what the evidence actually shows about hormone therapy, the role of sleep, mood, cognition, and metabolism in this transition, and why diagnosis rates remain so low despite how common these changes are.This is not a self-help book. It is an investigation for anyone who wants to understand what the science says before deciding what questions to ask.
