Listen Later

If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and you’ve been struggling with issues like bloating, brain fog, unmanageable PMS, weight gain, and more, today’s episode is for YOU.


I’m breaking down the typical signs + symptoms of estrogen dominance, cycle changes that can affect your estrogen & progesterone levels during perimenopause, why root causes like hormonal birth control may be a MAJOR contributor to your hormonal imbalances, and more.


I want you to know you’re not crazy, you’re not lazy, and you’re definitely NOT alone in feeling this way. Perimenopause can feel like a chaotic and confusing time, but it’s vital that you get the support YOU need so you can regain control of your health, and show up fully in your life!
