Ep. 131: The Truth About Perimenopause — When It Starts, How to Manage Symptoms, and Knowing if Bioidentical Hormones Are Right For You with Dr. Amy Day

44 minutes

In this episode, I invited Dr. Amy Day, a renowned expert in women's health and hormones, to the podcast to tackle the big questions about perimenopause: what it is, how to recognize it, and how we can shift the narrative away from the outdated notion that it’s all downhill from here.

Dr. Day enlightens us on the critical role of adrenal health and stress management in perimenopause to maintain our hormonal balance. We break down the ins and outs of bioidentical hormone therapy, including when to consider it and how to ensure it's done safely based on the latest research. Plus, Dr. Day shares her personal and powerful journey with stage four endometriosis, offering invaluable tips for others going through the same struggle.

We end our conversation by emphasizing the importance of daily routines, balanced nutrition, and self-care to keep us vital through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Tune in for an episode full of wisdom, midlife health tips, and research-backed perimenopause advice that you won’t always find in your doctor’s office.
