Listen Later

Feeling exhausted, moody, and out of sync? It might not be stress or “just getting older.”

Many women dismiss perimenopause as being part of the cause of their symptoms, or are told it’s just part of being a busy Mum. But what if the real cause is perimenopause?

Key Takeaways
In this episode, we’re unpacking four common myths about perimenopause that are keeping women stuck, frustrated, and searching for answers. If you’re tired of feeling like your body is working against you, this episode is for you. Here’s what we cover:
• Why you might not be “too young” for perimenopause, and why so many women are misled into believing it’s years away.
• The surprising connection between perimenopause and regular periods. Hint: hormonal shifts start before your cycle changes.
• Why “normal” hormone blood tests might not give you the full story, and what to focus on instead to understand what’s really going on.

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more confident in understanding your symptoms and what steps to take next to feel better.
