Show Notes

Many women around 40 start to feel “not quite themselves”… but assume it can’t be perimenopause because their periods are still regular.

In this episode, I explain when perimenopause really begins, typical symptoms of perimenopause age 40, the early (often overlooked) signs, how to tell if your symptoms are hormone-related, and the key areas to focus on to start feeling like yourself again.
