The episode discusses the overlap between postpartum symptoms and perimenopause, featuring expert insights on hormone changes and health strategies for women.

Many women are waiting later and later to start having babies, and this week we tackle the confusing gray area where hormone changes, lingering postpartum symptoms, and midlife shifts all come together - yay! This week we're joined by women’s midlife health expert Jennifer Gularson , PA-C, IFMCP to help us decipher, "is it Postpartum or Perimenopause?" She explains the early signs of perimenopause, how it can overlap with postpartum, and what’s actually going on in your body during this phase. Most importantly, we discuss all the things you you can do to start feeling like yourself again, because perimenopause is NOT a death sentence! As always, write in YOUR questions, comments, motherhood stories & we'll discuss!  Sarah@bigkidproblems.com Want more from our guest this week?
