Diet.

Putting weight on around the waist is because of a decrease in estrogen levels and a relatively greater level of testosterone, so you begin to develop a more male-type body form. It’s perfectly normal.

Question by beach2cb: If perimenopause starts around age 35, at what age do you start to feel better?
I’m 36 and feeling worse than I’ve ever felt with PMS I hope it’s not another 15 years of this. Please tell me if you’ve gone through this when it ended! I’ve tried eating a really healthy diet but so far feel even worse. I can’t take Prozac because it gives me stomach pains. Thanks for any hope you have to offer about when this experience ends!

Peri-menopause usually doesn’t start this soon.

It usually starts at around 45 years, so I doubt that you are starting peri-menopause.
It is not impossible for you to begin peri-menopause at 35, but it is not likely.

There may be something else causing your problems and it might be to your best health to check with your gynecologist.
