What should I know about Perimenopause?

Nobody should have to navigate the maze of perimenopause without a roadmap! That's why we invited Dr. Rebecca Levy-Gantt, OBGYN, author of the new Perimenopause for Dummies book and DB's mom, to break down this stage of life that's often overlooked. Dr. Levy-Gantt tells us what perimenopause is all about, shares important signs and red flags to watch out for, emphasizes the importance of seeking specialized doctors, and provides tips on preparing for and managing perimenopause.
