This is perimenopause
I don't just understand what you're going through - I'm living it.
Behind Vaela is a woman in perimenopause, navigating the same brain fog, the same sleepless nights, the same moments of standing in a room with no idea why she walked in there. The same frustration of feeling like your body changed the rules without telling you.
I built Vaela because I went looking for answers and found either dry medical jargon or vague advice to "just relax and drink more water." I wanted something in between - real science, explained like a friend who actually did the reading.
That's not a weakness - it's the whole point. Everything here is built from the inside, by someone who gets it because she's in it. Not from old textbooks. Not from a distance. From the same messy, confusing, sometimes exhausting middle of it all.
Millions of women. Almost no information.
More than 80 percent of midlife women experience one or more menopause-related symptoms during the transition.
An estimated 13% of women aged 45–55 have left the workforce entirely due to menopause symptoms.
Most people only know hot flashes and night sweats. However, researchers have documented 100+ symptoms linked to perimenopause.
75% of women who seek medical care for menopausal symptoms leave their appointments without receiving any effective treatment or guidance.
