What if you could go back to your 20s or 30s and actually prepare for menopause? Most women aren’t told that menopause doesn’t just arrive overnight—it’s the result of years of subtle hormonal shifts that begin much earlier than you think. This episode is especially important for women in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s who want to take control of their long-term health before symptoms show up.

Whether you’re noticing early signs of hormonal change or simply want to build a solid foundation for the future, this conversation will help you understand how to prepare for perimenopause and menopause before they start. And if you have a daughter, niece, or friend in this age group, share this episode with her—it’s never too early to get informed.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

What premenopause really means and why it matters for women under 40

How birth control and menopause hormone therapy differ and why a nuanced, personalized conversation needs to be prioritized for every woman

The best lifestyle strategies for supporting energy and protecting mental health

What to expect during perimenopause and menopause—including symptoms you might miss

Steps to protect your brain, bones, muscle, and metabolism for decades to come

You’ll walk away with actionable tools, a clearer understanding of your changing body, and the confidence to navigate every stage of midlife with strength and clarity.
