Thankfully there are now a lot of resources and information about menopause for women and their families, but sadly the same can't be said about perimenopause, even though this phase of our lives can last for several years.

The Quicky speaks to two experts, and a woman whose own isolating experience of perimenopause led her to start a business, to find out everything you need to know about this important time in your life.

If you want more expert advice, from the people who really know perimenopause, you can join Mamamia’s Very Peri Summit.

Over two nights, some of the world’s top peri experts will be interviewed by our in-house talent, including The Quicky’s very own Executive Producer, Siobhán Moran-McFarlane.

Find out more from Dr Lara Briden, Dr Sonia Davison and others including international sexpert Tracey Cox, psychologist Sandy Rea, and many, many more.

The Summit covers everything from what exactly perimenopause is, to what it does to our bodies, and how to manage symptoms. This is your shortcut to avoid years of struggle. You don't just have to suck it up.

Streaming online in the evening on May 3rd and and 4th, the Very Peri summit is now on sale. Go to veryperisummit.com to get your early bird discount tickets for $49, which includes on-demand access so you can watch in real-time, or whenever it suits you.
