Episode notes
Book Born From Personal Knowledge Gaps
- Michelle wrote The Perimenopause Method to gather scattered research into one practical resource for women.
- She intends the book to be given to daughters so future generations are better informed earlier.
Start By Tracking Symptoms Daily
- Roll up your sleeves and put yourself first by tracking symptoms and making informed health choices.
- Log symptoms in your phone and bring them to a GP to speed accurate assessment and care.

- Estrogen receptors exist across skin, bone, muscle, gut and brain which explains diverse perimenopausal symptoms.
- Declining hormones can therefore create seemingly unrelated issues like itching skin, joint pain and brain fog.
