Feeling like your body is staging a rebellion in your 40s? You're not alone, and you're definitely not broken. In this episode, Primal Sam tackles the topic that blindsides too many women - perimenopause - and provides a practical roadmap to reclaim control during this hormonal transition. Discover why hormone testing matters more than just symptom-checking (especially when perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s), learn to recognize the most common red flags like mood swings, sleep chaos, crushing fatigue, and unpredictable periods, and explore evidence-based solutions including targeted nutrition, ancestral eating principles, HRT options (including testosterone), and emerging research on Kisspeptin-10. Samantha challenges the "just deal with it" mentality and empowers you with actionable strategies during this life stage, helping you navigate perimenopause with grace instead of just white-knuckling through it.
