This week I’m joined by my friend, Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia, MD—a triple board-certified endocrinologist, women’s metabolic health expert, and founding partner of the Eastside Menopause & Metabolism Clinic. She’s one of the leading voices on menopause and perimenopause, and together we have an honest, uncensored conversation about what women really go through during this stage of life.

This episode is especially personal for me. Over the past 5–6 years, I’ve experienced a range of “random” symptoms I didn’t understand—only to learn they were all connected to perimenopause. Dr. Komal helped me piece it together and guided me toward relief through hormone replacement therapy (the patch!).

We dive into:

The most common perimenopause and menopause symptoms (and the ones no one tells you about)

The truth about hormone replacement therapy

The medical and health screenings every woman should request after 40

Why this conversation matters for every woman—whether you’re in perimenopause now, heading into it, or supporting someone who is

This episode is for the ladies—raw, educational, and hopefully eye-opening.
