About this episode

Dr. Carrie Jones discusses the complexities of perimenopause and the importance of a holistic approach to women's health during this transitional phase.

Perimenopause is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or completely missed. In this conversation, Dr. Carrie Jones breaks down what’s actually happening in the body during this transitional phase—from hormone fluctuations to the wide range of physical and emotional symptoms women experience. She explains why so many women feel “not like themselves,” why symptoms are often treated incorrectly, and how a more holistic, personalized approach (beyond just hormone therapy) is essential for navigating this stage with clarity and support. Key Takeaways: Perimenopause is a 6–10 year transition, not a sudden event, often starting in the late 30s or early 40s. Hormones (especially progesterone and estrogen) fluctuate unpredictably, leading to diverse symptoms across the body. Symptoms go far beyond hot flashes—sleep issues, anxiety, rage, joint pain, and brain fog are common. Testing hormones during perimenopause is often misleading; symptoms and patterns matter more than single lab values. Hormone therapy can help, but it’s not a magic fix—lifestyle, stress, and overall health still play a critical role.
