Perimenopause explained

“I feel like a stranger in my own skin”

Yasmin, founder of Lysa Wellness

Over four in ten UK medical schools had no compulsory menopause teaching at all, so the one symptom almost everyone expects is the one everyone has heard of: hot flushes.⁶

In reality, when a woman starts transitioning, progesterone and oestrogen stop being stable. And the first things she notices are almost all to do with how her brain is working.

• Brain fog
• Sleep that does not recover you
• Irritable over little things
• Over emotional
• Anxious, with nothing to point at

The numbers say it too

In 2022 the Fawcett Society ran the largest representative survey of menopausal women ever conducted in the UK, asking 4,014 women aged 45 to 55 what held them back at work.¹

Not hot flushes. Sleep, and memory, and mood.

But why the brain first?

Because those hormones were never only about the reproductive system. Researchers mapping where oestrogen receptors sit found them concentrated in the regions that run memory, mood, sleep and thinking.⁴

And in perimenopause the supply to those receptors does not fade, it swings. Oestrogen spikes higher than it ever went before, then drops, while progesterone falls away first.⁵ So the organ most exposed to that instability is the one doing the fog, the temper and the 3am waking.

It is not becoming someone worse. It is a brain running on a supply that has stopped being steady.

I formulated something for exactly that

I am Yasmin. I built Lysa for the woman in the tick list above, because there was nothing on the shelf aimed at the half of perimenopause that actually turns up first.

Lysa works on both halves of it

Sceptical? Good

There is a great deal of rubbish on this market, so we do not ask anyone to take our word for anything. Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory and the results are published. And this is what women who take them say.

Still sceptical? We give you 60 days to decide

Take it as directed for sixty days. If you do not notice a difference, ask for a refund. Nothing to send back, nothing to argue about. Worst case you are exactly where you started.
