Perimenopause is a natural stage of life, but that doesn’t mean navigating it is always easy. From unexpected changes in sleep and mood to shifts in energy, hormones, and overall well-being, the transition can leave many women wondering what is happening in their bodies—and what they can do to feel more like themselves again.

At Tree of Health Integrative Medicine , we believe that knowledge, community, and personalized support can make all the difference. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to Demystifying Perimenopause: What to Expect and How to Manage the Change , a special community event designed to help women better understand this important life transition.

Whether you’re beginning to notice changes, already navigating perimenopause, or simply want to learn more, this evening is an opportunity to get informed, ask questions, and connect with others on a similar journey.

What Is Perimenopause, and Why Does It Matter?

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, when hormonal fluctuations can begin to affect how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. Although every woman’s experience is different, common changes may include:

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Changes in sleep quality and energy levels

• Mood shifts, anxiety, or increased irritability

• Changes in menstrual cycles

• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

• Shifts in libido and overall well-being

These changes can sometimes feel confusing, especially when symptoms appear gradually or don’t match what you expected.

The good news? Understanding what’s happening can help you make informed decisions about your health and explore appropriate options for support.

Meet Dr. Allison Apfelbaum

We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Allison Apfelbaum, Naturopathic Doctor , who will lead an informative talk on perimenopause and the transition toward menopause.

Dr. Apfelbaum will help break down the hormonal changes that can occur during this stage of life and discuss ways to approach them with greater understanding and confidence.

The goal is to create a welcoming space where you can learn about your body, discover options to discuss with your healthcare provider, and feel empowered to take an active role in your health.

An Evening of Learning, Connection, and Conversation

This event is about more than information—it’s about creating a supportive community where women can share experiences, ask questions, and discover that they don’t have to navigate this transition alone.

Here’s what your evening will look like:

5:30 PM — Arrive, Unwind, and Connect

Doors open at 5:30 PM. Enjoy a glass of wine and a small bite while settling into the welcoming atmosphere of Olive Branch Bakery & Mercantile. Take a moment to relax, meet other attendees, and ease into the evening.

6:00 PM — Hormone Talk with Dr. Apfelbaum

Learn more about perimenopause, the menopause transition, and the changes that may accompany this stage of life. This educational session is designed to help make the topic feel less overwhelming and give you a better foundation for understanding your options.

6:45 PM — Open Q&A and Roundtable Discussion

Bring your questions! The evening continues with an informal discussion and open Q&A, offering an opportunity to engage in conversation and hear questions that other women may share, too.

Discover Your Options for Support

There is no one-size-fits-all experience of perimenopause. What works for one woman may not be right for another, which is why education and individualized care are so important.

During this event, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the changes you may experience and explore natural and medical approaches that may help support your well-being.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of what to expect, ideas for conversations to have with your healthcare provider, and the reassurance that your questions deserve thoughtful answers.

Why Community Matters

Perimenopause can sometimes feel isolating, particularly when symptoms are unexpected or difficult to explain. Talking openly about this stage of life helps replace uncertainty and stigma with understanding and connection.

Sharing a room with other women who are curious, learning, and asking similar questions can be a powerful reminder that you are not alone.

Whether you come with a list of questions or simply want to listen and learn, you are welcome here.
