About my Journey

I am Luciana, originally from Brazil and now living in the UK for over five years. I began noticing the first signs of perimenopause at around 45, an unexpected stage at the time that I now understand is perfectly normal. I immediately searched online for guidance but there were so many different sites offering what at times felt like competing advice.  What I needed were practical tips, or remedies to manage the symptoms. I now realise how much I had yet to learn about this process, and this motivated me to create this site.

Menopause is a natural yet often misunderstood phase in every woman’s life. Although an inevitable transition, it is shrouded in stigma, confusion, and fear. Many women enter this stage feeling unprepared, unsure of what to expect, and lacking a clear roadmap to manage the physical, emotional, and psychological changes. That’s why Ynside exists - to provide clarity, support, and expert advice so you can embrace this chapter with confidence.
