Perimenopause is one of the most misunderstood phases in a woman’s life.

It’s not just hot flashes.
It’s not just skipped periods.
And it doesn’t start the day your cycle disappears.

In this episode, we break down what perimenopause actually is, how it shows up in the body, and what you can do to support yourself through it.

If you’re in your late 30s or 40s and thinking,
“Why do I feel different?” — this conversation is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

✔ What perimenopause really means (and when it typically begins)
✔ Why progesterone is often the first hormone to shift
✔ The difference between early and late perimenopause
✔ Common symptoms beyond hot flashes
✔ Why your old routines may suddenly stop working
✔ Practical steps to stabilize your hormones during this transition

Common Signs of Perimenopause

• Shorter or heavier cycles
• Increased PMS
• Anxiety or irritability before your period
• Sleep disruptions (especially 3am wakeups)
• Brain fog
• Lower stress tolerance
• Midsection weight gain
• Feeling “off” despite normal labs

Perimenopause isn’t the beginning of decline — it’s a hormonal recalibration.

But it requires a different strategy.

What You Can Do

Inside this episode, we cover foundational shifts that make a real difference:

• Stabilizing blood sugar with adequate protein
• Adjusting workouts to support (not spike) cortisol
• Prioritizing nervous system regulation
• Supporting ovulation and progesterone naturally
• Getting the right labs interpreted through a functional lens

You don’t need to “wait it out.”
You need to support your body differently in this phase.
