Perimenopause affects every woman at some point in life but often doesn't get the attention it deserves, with symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep issues starting as early as our late 30s. As women, we need to advocate for ourselves during this transition and find providers who listen to our concerns rather than dismissing them as normal aging.

• Perimenopause usually begins in early to mid-40s, though some women notice changes in their late 30s
• Hispanic women reach menopause around age 49 on average, slightly earlier than the general US population at 51
• High sugar and refined carbs can worsen insulin resistance and hot flashes
• Alcohol and caffeine often trigger hot flashes and disrupt sleep
• Protein and fiber become especially important during this transition to maintain muscle mass and metabolism
• Phytoestrogens in foods like flaxseed, soy, and legumes may help reduce hot flashes
• Track your symptoms to identify patterns and bring these notes to doctor appointments
• Don't hesitate to get a second opinion if your provider doesn't take your concerns seriously
• Balance your plate with protein, colorful vegetables, and whole grains at each meal
• Strength training at least three times weekly helps protect bone density and muscle mass

• Writing helped Mallory bridge emotional gaps and understand her relapse patterns
• She surveyed over 700 people and interviewed 175 respondents to include diverse experiences
• "A slip doesn't have to equal a slide" - slips can be opportunities for growth rather than failures
• As a parent, Mallory focuses on teaching her children that "all bodies deserve respect"
• She created a flower mirror for her daughter with character traits on each petal
• Maintaining support through therapy and dietitian visits remains part of her ongoing recovery
• "Slip" is available wherever books are sold and explores themes of grief, motherhood, and healing

Procrastinar la atención médica puede tener graves consecuencias para la salud que podrían haberse evitado con chequeos regulares e intervención temprana. La comunidad hispana y otras minorías suelen retrasar la búsqueda de atención médica hasta que las afecciones han avanzado a niveles peligrosos.

• Muchas personas evitan ir al médico porque "no quieren saber" si algo anda mal.
• Las condiciones crónicas como la pre-diabetes, la diabetes y la hipertensión a menudo no presentan síntomas hasta que se produce un daño significativo.
• Las estadísticas muestran que los hispanos con pre-diabetes probablemente desarrollarán diabetes tipo 2 en un plazo de 3 a 5 años si no se realizan cambios.
• Los jóvenes requieren cada vez más diálisis debido a la hipertensión y la diabetes sin tratar.
• Solicite copias de sus análisis de sangre y pídale a su médico que le explique los resultados en comparación con años anteriores.
• Céntrese en cambios dietéticos sostenibles añadiendo alimentos nutritivos en lugar de eliminarlos por completo.
• Prepare comidas equilibradas preguntándose "¿qué puedo añadir?" en lugar de "¿qué debo quitar?".

No espere a sentirse muy enfermo para consultar a un médico. Cuide su cuerpo: nadie sabe cómo se siente mejor que usted. Cuida tu salud con chequeos regulares y cambios de estilo de vida sostenibles.
