Perimenopause has a starting line nobody tells you about. Here's how to find it.
Irregular periods. Rage out of nowhere. Sleep that won't hold. Weight that shifts for no reason. It can start in your late 30s—years before menopause itself—and most women aren't told what's happening until they Google it at 2am.
We bring in the OB-GYNs, endocrinologists, and hormone specialists to cover:
What the science shows — the hormone chaos behind the symptoms, years before your period stops
Getting taken seriously — what to say (and ask for) when a doctor brushes you off
When perimenopause ends and menopause begins — and why that line matters less than you think
Real science. Real experts. Zero guesswork.
Hormonal? Tap into plant power to manage midlife mental health, and wellness and tackle menopuase’s many irksome symptoms. Julie Kucinski, a co-founder of buzzy hormone brand Wile (now on the shelves of Whole Food), walks us through how supplements can help reset our equilibrium. Bonus, we explore the idea of reframing hormones as a superpower and why women are finally aging (and menopausing) out loud.
Not in the mood? Menopause can wreak havoc on desire, intimacy, and sexual wellness. Jackie Giannelli, a women’s sexual health expert, coaches us on reigniting desire and shares ideas to combat painful sex and low libido.
Is your pelvic floor in tip-top shape? Your core matters: think bladder and rectal control, improved sexual function, support for your spine and neck, and more. We go beyond Kegels to talk all things core and pelvic floor health. Plus, a wellness self-evaluation you can as you listen.
