Summary

In this episode of "Why Am I So Tired?", host Hollie Crome discusses the often-overlooked symptoms of perimenopause and how they can be misdiagnosed, particularly in women aged 35 to 40. Drawing inspiration from a British TV show featuring Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Hollie emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes over pharmaceutical interventions for managing health conditions like fatigue, brain fog, and depression. She highlights how conventional medicine frequently fails to recognize perimenopause as a potential cause of these symptoms, leading to misdiagnoses such as ADHD. Instead, she advocates for a holistic approach that includes nutrition, sleep, and stress management to empower women during this transitional phase of life.
