“I had no clue … no clue what we’re talking about.” This was Amita’s realization after diving deep into researching perimenopause – the often overlooked transition period leading up to menopause. In a revealing conversation with Walt, Amita opened up about her own personal journey with perimenopause symptoms and the divorce it ultimately contributed to.

Amita described experiencing debilitating hot flashes and night sweats, brain fog affecting her work productivity, and weight gain – all correlated symptoms wreaking havoc on her physical and mental well-being. “Who do I go talk to? I can’t talk to my spouse, I can’t talk to my girlfriends.” Amita recalled feeling ashamed and alone, with no safe space to discuss what was happening to her body. Walt reflected on how this shed light on what ultimately led to the breakdown of his own marriage, realizing for the first time the role his ex-partner’s menopause may have played.

The conversation brought to the surface just how extensive perimenopause can be, not only in terms of prevalence but long-term impact. From disrupted sleep to relationship strains, the issue clearly warrants more attention than society currently provides. But how do we address what we don’t understand? Amita set out to change that through rigorous research, interviewing over 3,000 holistic experts worldwide to compile actionable self-care strategies.

Her newly-launched Bloom app and platform aim to connect women to this vital information and health professionals who “get it.” Amita welcomes outreach as she continues shining a light on an issue close to her heart. But will more women speak up about their experiences to normalize the conversation? And how can partners show more empathy and support through this challenging transition? The discussion only scratched the surface – but perhaps served as a first step towards greater awareness and support.
