Weight changes and perimenopause.
Weight that creeps up more easily, often around the middle, or stays harder to shift than it used to. The change typically begins during perimenopause. It is rarely down to hormones alone. Age, sleep, activity, and genetics all interact with the hormonal shift.

How Primrose & Eve tracks weight changes
Primrose & Eve lets you log weight changes in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.
