[quote=Anonymous]You can't "prepare" for peri, OP. You never know what symptoms you're going to get, and even if you've suffered from difficult periods or difficult pregnancies, it doesn't naturally follow that peri will be a struggle for you.

All you can do is live a healthy lifestyle, specifically in terms of lowering your cholesterol/triglycerides, keeping your blood pressure relatively low, checking that your A1C doesn't put you in prediabetic territory, generally managing your weight, etc. Not for peri specifically, but to lower your lifetime cardiovascular and diabetes risk. Alcohol and smoking increase your risks of cancer and heart disease.

There are theories out there that seed cycling (look it up) can regulate your hormonal cycle and help mitigate the fluctuations of perimenopause, but there is no solid research to confirm this.

But mostly, you need to get your anxiety in check. No one should be terrified of perimenopause. In the larger scheme of things, it's not going to kill you. Cancer and heart disease will.
