Ep 125 Perimenopause Unfiltered: What’s Real, What’s Not

Perimenopause Unfiltered: What’s Real, What’s Not

If you believed Instagram, you’d think perimenopause was nothing but a decade-long horror story of hot flashes, rage, and brain fog. The truth? Perimenopause is real — but the bigger issue is how the changes at this stage magnify everything else going on in your body.

In this episode, I share why symptoms feel more dangerous and impactful in your 40s and 50s, what estrogen shifts really mean for your metabolism, bones, heart, and brain, and why labeling everything as “just hormones” can actually steal your power.

Instead of panic and quick fixes, I’ll show you how to see perimenopause as a signal — a chance to protect your long-term health and start making changes that truly matter.
