Episode 63 - Jennifer Falkner, DNP at Uplift for Her, joins Dr. Cracroft for an honest, insightful conversation about what’s really happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause—and what you can do about it.

From confusing symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, and disrupted sleep to the long-term health implications of declining hormones, this episode pulls back the curtain on the midlife transition that every woman deserves to feel prepared for. You’ll learn why this phase isn’t just about hot flashes—and why menopause is truly a medical milestone that deserves a proactive, functional approach.

We cover the full hormone picture (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone), how to tell what phase you’re in even without a period, and why labs aren’t always helpful. Most importantly, they offer empowering strategies for navigating the transition—from hormone therapy and supplements to food, movement, and mindset shifts that can help you feel like yourself again.
