This is why I built Hotflash inc — and what I hope this list does for you.
Perimenopause can start years — sometimes a decade — before your last period. The symptoms show up quietly at first.
Sleep gets worse. Moods shift. Brain fog sets in. Something just feels off.
And then you go looking for answers, and the internet buries you.
One article says hormones are the answer. The next says avoid them at all costs.
A podcast swears by supplements. A doctor dismisses everything you're feeling.
You're not imagining it. And you're not alone.
But you deserve better than this mess.
You Googled your symptoms and came away more confused than before
You've had a doctor wave off your concerns or tell you it's "just stress"
You've tried things that helped other women — and felt nothing
You're tired of sorting through hype, miracle cures, and one-size-fits-all advice
You just want someone to tell you what's actually worth doing
That's exactly what this list is for.

I'm Ann Marie McQueen. I've spent 30 years as a health journalist, and I've spent the last several years going through perimenopause myself.
I've interviewed the world's leading menopause experts. I've read the research. I've lived the symptoms. And I've built Hotflash inc because the coverage women were getting on this topic was — frankly — not good enough.
Hotflash inc now reaches women across 97 countries. Our readers are smart, curious, and done being talked down to.
This list is the starting point I wish I'd had.

Is this medically accurate?
The list is evidence-informed and experience-based — it draws on real research and expert insight. It is not medical advice, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's what a well-read journalist with direct experience in the field would share with a friend.
Is this just another generic wellness checklist?
No. Hotflash inc was built specifically because generic wellness content fails women in perimenopause. This list is grounded in journalism, expert interviews, and lived experience — not trend-chasing or affiliate marketing.
Will I get spammed if I sign up?
No. You'll receive your free list and then a short email series introducing you to the Hotflash inc community. You can unsubscribe at any time, immediately, with one click.
I'm not sure I'm in perimenopause. Is this still for me?
Yes — especially if you're unsure. Many women are in the middle of perimenopause without knowing it. This list will help you understand what's happening and what to do next, whatever stage you're at.
Perimenopause doesn't pause while you think about it. The confusion, the noise, the "I'll figure this out later"
— it all costs you time you don't need to lose.
This list is free. It takes 30 seconds to get. And it was made specifically for the moment you're in right now.
