In this episode of Hello Hormones, I walk you through everything you need to know about stage one of perimenopause—what it actually is, how it’s defined, and the real-life symptoms I see every day in women (and have experienced myself). We talk about what your lab work might show, why your cycles are starting to shift, and how to spot early hormone changes before things get more intense.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What stage one of perimenopause actually means (and how it’s defined by the STRAW criteria)

• How small shifts in your cycle can be early signs of perimenopause

• What your labs might show with progesterone, estrogen, and FSH

• Symptoms I see all the time in early perimenopause—from sleep issues to brain fog to mood changes

• Uncommon signs like itchy ears, phantom smells, and joint pain

• Why alcohol might suddenly hit differently

• How to support your body with nutrition, movement, and community

• Why this is the perfect time to start building habits that support long-term health
