For 60% of women in their 40s, perimenopause is a transition they didn't know about until symptoms began. In this episode, we're taking a deep dive into the evolving world of women's health, unpacking new data that reveals the profound impact of perimenopause—not just on daily life, but on work ambition and income.

We'll start by confronting the challenges women face in 2025, from a historical tendency of medical misogyny that dismisses symptoms as "anxiety," to the fact that nearly a third of women still don’t feel confident advocating for themselves in a healthcare setting. We'll then explore the new initiatives and digital health tools that are aiming to empower women with knowledge and insights.

Next, we'll examine three of the biggest wellness trends of 2025:

  • Topical Estrogen for the Face: We'll dive into the debate over using estrogen cream for skin suppleness, and the crucial warnings from dermatologists about bloodstream absorption and estrogen-driven cancers.

  • Cold Plunges: You'll learn about the science behind cold plunges, with experts revealing how they can reduce cortisol, boost endorphins, and positively affect perimenopausal anxiety and hot flashes.

  • Red Light Therapy (RLT): We’ll look at the use of LED and laser masks for collagen and hair thinning, and what experts say about their effectiveness as an "adjunct therapy."


Finally, we’ll reinforce why foundational lifestyle habits like diet, exercise, and stress management remain the true "Holy Grail" of symptom management. This deep dive is a guide to navigating the wellness trends of 2025 with a critical eye, empowering you to advocate for care that's genuinely tailored to you, so you can thrive—not just survive—these life stages.
