About this episode
This episode explains perimenopause in simple terms, addressing common symptoms and hormonal changes women experience.
If you’re a woman over 35 feeling tired, foggy, irritated, anxious, or just “off,” this is the episode that finally explains why. Perimenopause hits long before menopause, and most women have no idea what’s happening inside their bodies. In this episode, I break down perimenopause in plain English. No medical jargon. No confusing hormone talk. Just real explanations of what’s happening with your estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone and why your symptoms feel so intense. You’ll learn the real signs of perimenopause, why your labs might look “normal,” and simple ways to start supporting your hormones so you can feel like yourself again. What we cover:• Early symptoms women miss• Hormone shifts that affect mood, sleep, weight, and energy• Why 2 AM wake-ups are so common• What brain fog really means• How to support your body naturally in this stage Mentioned:The Routine supplement stack (use code hello10) https://hughandgrace.com/products/the-routine-triple-boost-protein-hormone-support-1?pws=mindyw Join The Longevity Project by emailing mindy@mindywender.com
