I built this site because I wish I'd had it.
I started noticing the changes in my mid-40s and found most perimenopause content was either too clinical or too vague. Second Spring Club is the site I wanted — specific, honest, and willing to say when a product isn't worth the money. I test everything for thirty nights before I write a word.
