#24 Fear of the Sun Increasing Perimenopause Symptoms: Vitamin D is Vital

Your perimenopause symptoms didn’t just pop up overnight. Years of lifestyle and nutrition habits have gradually disrupted your hormones, depleting you of essential nutrients needed to balance hormones and support your body through this normal life transition.
