CHOOSE TO TAKE CHARGE

Three women holding hands at the beach with a menopause awareness message.

What is peri/menopause?

Peri/menopause are points along the continuum of life for women.[3] All women pass these hormonal change markers: perimenopause (8-12 years leading up to menopause), menopause (the year since the last period), early post-menopause (up to 5 years after periods cease), and late post-menopause (the rest of their lives).


Hormonal change symptoms are one aspect of these points; some feel them more strongly than others.

Charting your own path forward

 Like hormonal changes, many quality-of-life shifts can also occur with peri/menopause. 


For some women, systemic issues such as ageism, invisibility, and an overall sense of loss become real. 17% of women said they had quit a job or considered quitting due to menopause symptoms.[4] Making sense of these changes need not be a lonely journey. 


76% of women feel uncomfortable discussing menopause at work.

From muddling on, to taking charge

Women need a multipronged approach to prepare for peri/menopause and the associated life changes. That's where BestYet For Women can help. 


Our app offers peer-to-peer, expert, and AI-based situation-specific mentoring, which, along with our BestYet Lifestage Management Technology (LMT)™, helps women maintain their quality of life.

Technology now enables us to create a global feminine collective that helps women everywhere to thrive through midlife and peri/menopause.
