About this episode

Stasha shares insights on perimenopause symptoms, hormone testing, and announces her new podcast focused on pain-free periods.

Perimenopause Update: Hot Flashes, Hormone Testing, Liver Enzymes + Launching the “Pain Free Periods” Podcast In this Period Besties episode, Katie interviews her “period bestie” Stasha for a candid perimenopause check-in. Stasha shares new symptoms like night sweats and hot flashes, what Mira hormone testing showed (low progesterone and fluctuating estrogen), and why bloodwork snapshots can miss ongoing changes. She discusses follow-up testing, an ultrasound and possible fatty liver affecting access to estrogen, and plans to try the lowest-dose estrogen carefully due to endometriosis. They talk cycle syncing with progesterone, using CBD/CBG support, and thyroid support with iodine. Stasha announces her new Pain Free Periods podcast focused on physical, emotional, and spiritual pain around periods, plus ongoing work on the Period Besties Summit Live & Unfiltered (live panels in September). She also shares summer plans, supplement changes, blood-sugar-focused eating and weight loss, and quick favorites.
