EnRitched Menopause

88: Navigating puberty and perimenopause with Dr. Jennyfer Uzor


Listen Later

Ever feel like your household has two sets of hormones competing for attention?

Between the hot flashes of perimenopause and the mood swings of puberty, it can feel like an emotional tug-of-war for many moms and kids.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch explores how to manage this dual hormonal transition with compassion and understanding. Joined by board-certified pediatrician Dr. Jennyfer Uzor, founder of Allegra Family Pediatrics, they dive into what’s really happening in your child’s body and brain during puberty — and how those changes can mirror the emotional shifts of menopause and perimenopause.

If you’re parenting a tween or teen while going through menopause yourself, this conversation will help you navigate both transitions with more patience, connection, and confidence.

It’s a must-listen for every mom navigating the ups and downs of hormones — hers and her child’s. 💛
