At 35, I thought my body was breaking.

Irregular cycles, low energy, hormone symptoms—it felt like everything was pointing to perimenopause. But what I discovered changed not only my health… but the entire way I understand the body.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey—from confusion and mislabeling to clarity through cycle tracking and root-cause healing.

In this episode, we cover:

• The symptoms that made me think I was in perimenopause
• What was actually going on (thyroid, gut, blood sugar, burnout + more)
• How birth control impacted my cycle and hormones
• What fertility awareness and cycle charting revealed
• Why testing without context can lead to more confusion
• The exact shifts I made to support my body
• What it really means to heal vs. “fix” hormones
