Preventing Bone Loss in Perimenopause

Could you be in perimenopause? Are you experiencing mood swings, trouble sleeping, or irregular cycles and wondering if it’s just stress—or something more? In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking the hormonal rollercoaster that is perimenopause, a transitional phase that can span up to 10 years before menopause officially sets in. We talk about what’s happening with your hormones during this time, how to assess where you’re at, and the most common symptoms women face as their bodies shift.

We also share empowering, food-as-medicine strategies, targeted supplements, and key lifestyle interventions to help you feel balanced, supported, and vibrant through the transition. Aging doesn’t have to mean losing yourself in the process—there’s so much you can do to stay sharp, energized, and grounded. Tune in and learn how to navigate perimenopause with clarity and confidence.
