For — PMS, perimenopause, and hormonal balance

The Perimenopause Foundation Stack

Addresses the most common patterns: estrogen metabolism, progesterone modulation, cycle-related mood and inflammation. Pairs with the full Perimenopause Protocol guide for the complete picture — sleep, training, hormone testing, and HRT considerations. The optional oxytocin add-on is an experiment, not a foundation — the Oxytocin guide explains why, and how to give it a fair trial.
