Are you exhausted, moody, and struggling to sleep, only to be dismissed with the usual explanation that it’s just stress or aging? 

Let’s set the record straight—you’re not crazy, they’re wrong.

In this episode, we’re uncovering the truth about perimenopause with Amanda Swan, a Yale-trained nurse practitioner and founder of Swan Integrative Health and Wellness. 

Amanda is on a mission to transform women’s health by empowering them with real solutions, not just surviving it.

Millions of women are left feeling exhausted, achy, and emotionally drained during this phase of life, and Amanda is here to change that.

On this episode of the Medical Disruptor, we explore why so many women experience broken, restless sleep, the hidden causes of joint pain, and the hormonal imbalances behind wild mood swings. 

Amanda shares her approach to fix these issues rather than just masking symptoms. 

She also explains why women often receive conflicting responses from doctors, leaving them feeling frustrated and overlooked.

If you’ve been told to “just deal with it,” this episode is a wake-up call.
