The Perimenopause Playbook
The Perimenopause Playbook with its three companion packs: the Doctor Visit Pack, the Tracker Pack and the Conversation Pack

It's not in your head

A plain-English playbook and three fillable packs that help you sleep past 3 a.m., calm the rage, decide on hormones and finally get taken seriously.

Instant download. Fill it in on screen or print it. Written for women in the U.S.

You're not the only one

Real comments women left under perimenopause videos, in their own words, lightly trimmed with spelling fixed, names removed. Under each one, where the kit answers it. These are comments about perimenopause, not reviews of this kit.

My doc says it is stress and I am too young to think about menopause. I am 45!

Chapter 3 and pocket script cards. Chapter 3 shows why 45 is not too young, and the Doctor Visit Pack has the exact words to say when you hear "it's stress."

I'm 43, just had blood tests which came back normal, but I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Chapter 6, page 18. Normal labs don't rule it out: hormones swing day to day. Chapter 6 lists the tests that do help, and the ones that don't.

The rage! God the rage! The deep depression and dark thoughts too.

Chapter 17, page 41. Chapter 17 has a plan for the moment the rage hits, what treats it, and when low mood needs help today. If you have thoughts of self-harm, call or text 988.

Doom anxiety, 3am wake-ups and cycles every 2 weeks.

Chapter 14, page 37. The 3 a.m. Protocol is what to do in the first five minutes awake, and how to stop it repeating. The bleeding log tracks those 2-week cycles for your doctor.

The anxiety is next level and the joint pain is insane. Can barely walk at times or move my shoulder.

Chapter 16, page 40. Chapter 16 covers joint pain and frozen shoulder: what helps at home and when to ask for physical therapy or an injection.

Vertigo and dizziness is the worst and nobody believes that this is a symptom.

Chapter 2, page 10. The Symptom Decoder explains 70+ symptoms, dizziness included, and which ones need checking for something else.

My doctor offered me antidepressants. Never been depressed in my life.

Doctor Visit Pack. There's a calm, specific reply for that, and for five other brush-offs, on a card you can keep in your bag.

I can't get a doctor's appointment about my migraines in menopause. I can't take HRT.

Chapter 11, page 30. The No-Hormone Plan rates every non-hormone option, including prescriptions made just for hot flashes.

I can't talk to anyone because I feel no one understands.

Conversation Pack. The Conversation Pack has a letter you can hand your partner, cards for family, and a plan for work.

There should be a whole 6 months training on it for doctors.

Doctor Visit Pack. Until there is: a one-page clinician summary of current guidance, with sources, to hand to yours.

More than one appointment

A video can tell you to "advocate for yourself." This kit gives you a plan for each part of your life that perimenopause is shaking up. Tap any row to see the real page.

You've heard these before

Across more than 40,000 comments from women in menopause communities, the same story came up again and again: they were brushed off. Tap one of the lines you've heard. The Playbook gives you a calm, specific answer for each.

What you can say back

"Perimenopause can start in the late 30s and is diagnosed by symptoms. Can we focus on my symptoms and what we can do?"

From the pocket script cards in the Doctor Visit Pack. Chapter 7 explains why each answer works.

Check yourself in two minutes

Two quick questions, based on the check that opens the Tracker Pack. It doesn't diagnose anything. It shows you which pages to read first and what's worth raising with a clinician.

0of 11 changes

Start with your age range, then tick the changes you've noticed.

A conversation starter, not a diagnosis. Any new, severe or worrying symptom deserves a check with a clinician, whatever your age.

real comments read and sorted by pain point before a single page was written. The Playbook answers the questions women actually ask.

Every claim has a source

  • The Menopause Society position statements on hormone and non-hormone therapy
  • ACOG patient guidance, USPSTF screening recommendations
  • The FDA's 2025 to 2026 boxed-warning changes, explained precisely: what changed, for which products, and what didn't
  • Canadian and British Menopause Society dose guidance
  • Studies from JAMA, BMJ and Menopause, listed at the back

What it isn't

  • Not a video course. You read it in an evening and use it for years.
  • Not a supplement pitch. Nothing in it is for sale.
  • Not medical advice. It's the preparation that makes your medical visit count.
  • Not pro- or anti-hormone. Both paths get the same care.

The Playbook works on its own. The Complete Kit adds the tools you fill in, print and hand over, plus a free bonus, for less than buying them apart.

Questions, answered

Yes. Perimenopause is the years before your last period, often from the late 30s or early 40s. Most of the kit is about exactly that stage: changing cycles, sleep, mood, hot flashes and getting taken seriously. It also covers menopause itself and surgical menopause.

Because it's a download, not a clinic or a course. There are no appointments to staff and nothing to ship, so even the Complete Kit costs less than most single visits. It's meant to sit next to your care, not replace it.

PDF files you download right after paying, from a private download page you can bookmark. The Playbook comes in two editions: print and tablet, and a phone edition you can read without zooming. The packs are fillable: type into them on a computer, or on a phone with Adobe Acrobat Reader or the Files app, or print them on U.S. Letter paper.

No. It explains hormone therapy plainly, including who shouldn't take it, and gives the No-Hormone Plan the same depth: newer non-hormone prescriptions, CBT, and what the evidence says about supplements. The goal is a decision that fits you.

No. It's education built on current guidelines, made to help you prepare for and get more from your visits. It doesn't replace your clinician, and it tells you clearly when something needs urgent care.

Apple Pay, Google Pay, any major card through Stripe, or PayPal. Payments are handled by Stripe and PayPal, so your card details never touch this site. It's a one-time payment. There's no subscription.

Yes: the 7-day clarity guarantee. Read it this week. If it doesn't make your symptoms and your options clearer than anything you've read, email us within 7 days of buying and we'll refund you in full. No forms, no hoops. And if a file won't open, write to us and we'll sort it out.

The Tracker comes with the Complete Kit. It's a web app you open from your download page and can add to your home screen, with no app store needed. You log your symptoms in about 20 seconds a day, see your patterns and get a one-page report for your doctor. Everything you log stays on your phone: we never receive it, there are no ads or trackers inside, and you can export or delete it any time.

Yes. Your download page has an "Add the packs" option for $37, and it includes the bonus cards and the Tracker app. You never pay for the Playbook twice, though buying the Complete Kit up front saves you $19. And the Playbook is complete on its own: every pack mention inside it also shows how to do it with just the book.

Walk in with a plan

Your symptoms on one page, the words for the hard moments, and every option explained. Backed by a 7-day clarity guarantee.
