Naturopathic Care for Perimenopause in Coquitlam and Vancouver

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, typically occurring in women in their 30s to 40s. During this time, the body undergoes significant hormonal changes as estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate.

  • Changes in Libido: Fluctuations in sexual desire and arousal.
