Ep 65: 5 Things To Do in Perimenopause


Listen Later

In this episode of Save Yourself, I dive into one of the most misunderstood—and rarely discussed—phases in women’s health: perimenopause. Drawing from my experience as a double board-certified MD and nutritionist, as well as my own personal journey, I break down the confusion around perimenopause and reveal my top five actionable tips to embrace this transition with energy and vitality.

From the science behind heat shock proteins and the benefits of sauna therapy, to the essential role your gut microbiome plays during hormonal changes, we’ll discuss practical strategies you can start using today. Discover the power of walking, the secrets to supporting your circadian rhythms, and which foods and supplements make the biggest impact during perimenopause. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, or just want to support someone you love through this stage, this episode is packed with science-backed advice and empowering insights to help you thrive—not just survive—through perimenopause. Tune in for a dose of hope, clarity, and expert guidance!
