Think perimenopause starts in your late 40s? Think again! Many women start experiencing subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) hormone shifts in their mid-30s. But doctors often dismiss these early symptoms. In this episode, Claudia breaks down why perimenopause begins earlier than you expect–and what you can do to start feeling better now.

We’re covering:

• Why perimenopause isn’t just about your period changing–it’s a whole-body shift
• The first signs of perimenopause (that most women overlook)
• Why conventional medicine ignores these early symptoms
• What’s actually happening in your body during this stage
• How to take back control so you don’t have to suffer through perimenopause

In this week’s episode, Claudia addresses one of the BIGGEST frustrations women face–going to their OB/GYN for perimenopause help, only to realize they’re not as knowledgeable about hormones as we expect. Too often, doctors miss the full picture, leaving women dismissed and without real solutions.

We’re covering:

• Why your OB/GYN is great for pregnancy–but often clueless about perimenopause
• Why perimenopause isn’t just about estrogen and progesterone
• The common treatments doctors prescribe that don’t actually fix the root cause
• What you really need to do to start feeling better
