Ditch the Ick with Katie Carson: Redefining Relationships, Self-Worth, and Building Your Dream Life as Millennial and Gen X Women

73: Am I dying or is it perimenopause? Breaking it down with Your Period Coach Vicky Chehade


Listen Later

If you've ever found yourself asking, "Is this normal, or am I actually dying?"—welcome to the club. This week, we’re diving deep into the wild ride that is perimenopause with Vicky Chehade (@your.period.coach), a certified nutrition coach and fertility awareness educator. From unexpected hot flashes to hormonal chaos, we’re breaking down what’s actually happening in your body, how to tell if you’re in perimenopause, and what you can do to support yourself through the transition.


And because we love a little drama, we’re playing a game of "Am I Dying or Is It Perimenopause?"—aka all the weird symptoms my friends and I have Googled at 2 AM.


What We Cover:

  • The difference between perimenopause & menopause (because we’ve all been lied to).
  • Shorter cycles, mood swings, and random hot flashes—what’s normal?
  • Should you get your hormones tested? (Vicky’s hot take might surprise you.)
  • Simple ways to support your body—nutrition, strength training, and morning light exposure.
