Here's what women tell me, over and over:

"I don't feel like myself anymore."

"I'm wide awake at 3 a.m. with my heart racing."

"I walk into a room and forget why I'm there."

"I snapped at my kids over nothing, and then I felt awful."

"My jeans don't fit, and I haven't changed a thing."

"My hair is coming out in the shower."

So you go to your doctor. They run the labs. Then you hear it: "Your labs are normal." "It's probably just stress." "You're too young for that."

And you go home with nothing to try, wondering if it's all in your head.

You're not losing your mind. It's perimenopause.

Perimenopause can start years before your period stops. Progesterone usually drops first. Estrogen starts to swing. For most women it starts in their late 30s or 40s, right when they're busiest with kids, work and everyone else's needs.

The Perimenopause Survival Kit gives you a full breakdown of what's happening in your body, and what you can do to take back control.

Then it gives you something to reach for on the hard nights, and something to bring to your next appointment.

Most advice works on one piece at a time.

Your hormones or your stress. Your food or your sleep.

But in perimenopause, three things are talking to each other all day long:

Cortisol

The stress you've carried for years. It pulls on the same resources your hormones need.

Blood sugar

The 3 p.m. crash, the cravings, the weight piling on around your middle when you haven't changed a thing.

Estrogen

The swings that get louder when the other two are already off.

When one is off, the other two follow. That's why fixing one at a time hasn't stuck.

I call it the hormonal triangle. When you tend all three together, your body has the conditions to settle.

That's the heart of my training, Perimenopause Decoded, and it's the first thing you get in the kit.

Research shows stress and blood sugar affect your hormones. Tending all three together is what I've seen work with my clients.

The training

Perimenopause Decoded. About an hour, in seven short lessons. I first taught it live and edited it down to just the teaching, so you can watch one on a lunch break.

The training helps you understand what's happening. These five tools are for living with it, on the hard nights and at your next appointment.

Five "Right Now" cards

for when it hits and you need to do something

When you're awake at 3 a.m., about to snap, crashing at 3 p.m. or lost in brain fog, you don't want to watch a lesson or google for an hour. Each printable card gives you a few simple steps to calm things down in that moment. There's one for each of those, plus one for the week before your period. Keep one by your bed and one on the fridge.

Symptom and cycle tracker

for seeing your own pattern

When every day feels different, it's hard to tell what's going on, and easy to wonder if it's all in your head. Two minutes a day on one page, and by the end of the month you can see the pattern: what's tied to your cycle, your sleep or your stress. Then you have real proof to bring to your doctor instead of "I just don't feel right."

The lab guide

for speaking up for yourself at the doctor

Print it and bring it to your appointment. It lists the tests to ask for by name, why each one matters, and the optimal ranges, not just the "normal" ones. So when you hear "your labs are fine," you can look at the numbers yourself and ask better questions. It's the written companion to lesson four.

Doctor conversation guide

for your next appointment

How to describe what's going on so you don't get brushed off with "it's just stress," the questions to ask about labs and HRT, and a place to write down the answers.

One week of food

for the week ahead

Seven days of simple meals built to keep your blood sugar steady, with the grocery list. Nothing fussy.

In their words

From women who've learned this with me.

This short course exceeds the reach and depth of many other much longer courses... Dr Nancy is very plain speaking...Short course participant
Even though I came into the program with a lot of 'knowledge' that didn't necessarily mean I was integrating what I knew... I now feel more capable of breaking things down into smaller parts and integrating slowly.Past client

Everyone's body is different. These are their experiences, not promises about yours.

Meet your guide

Dr. Nancy Crowell dancing, in black and white

I'm Dr. Nancy Crowell, and I'm in this season too.

So this isn't theory to me. It's what I'm tending in my own body, and what I've helped hundreds of women make sense of in theirs.

I put this kit together for the version of you who's awake at 3 a.m. looking for answers. I hope it helps you sleep.

To your health, Dr. Nancy

Fair questions.

"I'm not sure I'm even in perimenopause."

A lot of women aren't sure, because it can start years before anything changes with your period. Lesson one walks you through what it can look like, and the tracker helps you see your own pattern.

"Will this tell me whether to take HRT?"

No. It shares my honest perspective on HRT, who it tends to suit and what I'd want to look at first. Then the doctor guide helps you have that conversation with your own doctor.

"I don't have time for another course."

The longest lesson is 16 minutes. Each "Right Now" card takes a minute to read. Watch one lesson, use one card, and let the rest wait.

"What if I want more help after this?"

Then Feel Like Yourself Again, my full self-paced library, is the next step.

My guarantee

Watch lesson one. If you decide the kit isn't for you, let me know before you go any further, within 14 days of purchase, and I'll refund you in full.
