このコンテンツについて
Welcome to the Women's Health Podcast, where we celebrate the power of knowledge and the voices of women everywhere. I’m your host, and today we’re diving straight into a topic that touches millions: perimenopause. If you’re feeling changes in your mood, sleep, or menstrual cycle and wondering what’s going on, know that you are not alone and there is strength in recognizing and sharing your journey.
Perimenopause is that natural but often confusing stage leading up to menopause, usually occurring in your 40s but sometimes starting in your late 30s. During this time, estrogen and other hormones start to fluctuate, which can bring on symptoms like irregular periods, hot flashes, brain fog, exhaustion, and unexpected mood swings. While each woman’s experience is unique—no two stories are truly the same—one thing is certain: this is not just the end of something, it’s the beginning of a new chapter of empowerment and self-care.
To shed light on what’s really happening inside our bodies and how to advocate for ourselves, I’m joined today by Dr. Maria Lopez, a board-certified OB-GYN and women’s health advocate based in San Francisco. Dr. Lopez, thank you for joining us. I want to get right to it with the most pressing questions:
What are the earliest signs women might notice in perimenopause, and how can we tell these apart from normal life stressors?
How do hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause affect our mental health, and what are your top recommendations for managing anxiety or mood changes?
Let’s talk about treatment options: are there evidence-backed lifestyle changes or supplements that can help with symptoms, and when should someone consider hormone replacement therapy?
Can you share some myths or misconceptions about perimenopause that you wish more women understood?
What should someone expect from their doctor’s visit if they bring up perimenopausal symptoms? Are there specific questions or tests they should ask for?
Listeners, these are real challenges, but every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Dr. Lopez emphasizes that while perimenopause is natural, it’s not something you have to just “put up with.” Finding community—whether that’s with friends, professionals, or online groups—makes a huge difference. Prioritize sleep, nourish your body, move in ways that feel good, and above all, trust your instincts. If something feels “off,” don’t hesitate to seek help.
Key takeaways today: perimenopause may bring unpredictable changes, but you still have agency over your health. Knowledge is power. Advocate for yourself, ask questions, and remember that taking care of you is not selfish—it’s necessary. If you need guidance, look for resources like the North American Menopause Society or connect with a provider like Dr. Maria Lopez who truly listens.
