Feeling stuck in perimenopause? 

Navigating perimenopause can feel overwhelming, especially when women’s health is so often treated like men’s.

In this episode, we break down women’s healthcare, common perimenopause symptoms, and how to recognize the early signs of hormonal shifts. Plus, I’m sharing a sneak peek into my upcoming book, The Perimenopause Revolution, coming this fall!

QUOTES

“I believe it's an average of 6 to 7 doctor visits before they get any help at all or that they are recognized as being in perimenopause at all.”

“Many women are plagued with confusion over issues like these, and they're having a difficult time connecting the dots because they're being told otherwise. Yet, when it comes to perimenopause, in order to understand what's not normal, you must first know your own baseline.”
