Sophie is a physician assistant with over two decades of experience in women’s health, guiding countless patients through the often-misunderstood transition of perimenopause. Drawing from both clinical expertise and personal perspective, she sheds light on the subtle yet disruptive shifts that can begin as early as 35 — from mood changes and insomnia to migraines and hormonal fluctuations. Sophie unpacks the stigma and silence surrounding perimenopause, offering clarity on hormone therapy, the nuances of bioidentical versus non-bioidentical options, and the importance of self-advocacy in medical spaces. This conversation reframes perimenopause not as decline, but as a profound invitation into power, wisdom, and renewal — a chapter where women can reclaim agency over their health and step more fully into themselves.
