Listen Later

Feeling the effects of hormonal shifts? You're not alone. Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, can bring on a cascade of symptoms beyond hot flashes. From brain fog and fatigue to sleep disturbances and mood swings, this episode of The Dr. Brighten Show explores the complexities of perimenopause. Join Dr. Jolene Brighten as she unravels the mysteries of this phase, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to navigate these changes with grace and ease.


Perimenopause can begin years before your last period, often with subtle yet impactful symptoms. This phase is characterized by hormonal fluctuations that can significantly impact your physical and emotional well-being. Understanding the nuances of these hormonal shifts, such as the decline in progesterone and the rise of FSH, is crucial for recognizing and addressing perimenopausal challenges. By tracking your cycles and identifying your unique symptom patterns, you can gain valuable insights into your body's changing needs and work with your healthcare provider to develop a personalized plan for navigating this transition.
