The Real Reason Perimenopause Feels Like Chaos (And How to Fix It Without Birth Control or Antidepressants) | Dr. Jen Pfleghaar

Perimenopause, hormone balance, and real prevention are not soft topics; they are the difference between feeling like yourself or feeling lost in your own body. Dr. Jen Pfleghaar joined me to lay out what’s actually happening in midlife women, why so many are getting brushed off, and what can be done early enough to change the whole trajectory.

Dr. Jen also talks about cycle syncing, progesterone support, estrogen metabolism, and the hidden stress patterns that quietly wreck sleep, mood, and weight. Tune in to learn why faith and emotional peace are not side notes but a core piece of healing, especially when women feel isolated, anxious, or misunderstood during this season. 

“ Men, if you fix your women's hormones and their cortisol is balanced, you guys are gonna be intimate, and you're gonna connect.” Dr. Jen Pfleghaar
