The tracking library
How to track perimenopause so the record is worth something: every symptom in Perity's catalog, every HRT schedule Perity models, the wearable signals and labs that give a record its context. No advice anywhere on these pages — Perity informs, never prescribes. What you'll find is how to build the dated evidence that makes appointments work.
