If you're a woman in her late thirties or early forties, you've probably Googled (or at least wondered) "how do I know if I'm in perimenopause?" With the realities of perimenopause and menopause more visible than they've ever been before, women today are eager for information on how to thrive—and not just survive—through the transition to menopause (especially those of us who saw our mothers struggle through it with little to no help).
In today's episode of The Natural Womanhood Podcast, Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Teresa Kenney (co-host of The Hormone Genius Podcast, and author of The Happy Girl's Guide to Being Whole) sat down with me to answer all our questions about perimenopause (which she calls "reverse puberty"), including:
What is perimenopause, anyway?
When does perimenopause start, and what are its signs?
How can you safely and effectively manage the most common and disruptive symptoms (including hot flashes, disruptive sleep, vaginal dryness, and more) of perimenopause?
What are the benefits (and the science) behind hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and why are bioidentical hormones so important to seek out over synthetic ones?
What are the pillars of good health during perimenopause, and what can they do to help mitigate perimenopause symptoms and protect our health long-term?
+ much more!
As I mention in my opening statements, perimenopause isn't on most women's radar—until it is. And then, it's usually because things are starting to go sideways from a health and fertility/menstrual cycle perspective. But thanks to this episode, you don't have to wait to start preparing yourself well for this important transition—you can start today.
Action call: If you've learned something valuable for your cycles, health, or fertility during this season of the NW Podcast, please take a minute to leave us a rating on Apple podcasts! It helps more listeners find out about Natural Womanhood and our work.
