One of the biggest mistakes women make in perimenopause is assuming that everything we’re experiencing is “normal.”

But just because these symptoms are common doesn’t mean they’re something you have to live with.

Today, we’re continuing my new series, The Perimenopause Reset,” where we cut through all the misinformation and cookie-cutter advice and focus on what actually works in perimenopause.

In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on what’s normal in perimenopause…and what’s not…and six signs that your shifting hormones may actually be a hormone imbalance.

I’ll also address some of your most commonly Googled questions, including:

✅ How do I know if I’m in perimenopause or if something is wrong with my hormones?

✅ What symptoms are normal in perimenopause—and what’s not?

✅ How do I know if my symptoms are stress or hormones?

✅ What does a hormone imbalance feel like in midlife women?

✅ Why do my labs look normal but I still feel awful?

✅ Why can’t I sleep through the night anymore after 40?

✅ Is it normal to feel exhausted all the time in perimenopause?

✅ Why am I gaining weight in my 40s even though I haven’t changed how I eat?

✅ How can I tell which hormone is causing my symptoms?

If you woke up recently feeling like you’re living in someone else’s body, this episode is for you.
