  • Perimenopause Power-Up: Your Journey, Your Way
    2025/07/25
    This is your Women's Health Podcast podcast.

    Welcome back to the Women’s Health Podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re diving right into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough honest conversation—perimenopause. If you’re feeling a little lost, overwhelmed, or even empowered by the changes happening in your body, you are definitely not alone. Perimenopause is a transition, not a malfunction, and it’s time we approached it with the information and confidence every woman deserves.

    Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s or early 40s, and it’s marked by shifting hormone levels that can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes, anxiety, and even changes in libido. The Harper Clinic explains that this phase is as individual as each of us—every woman’s journey will look different, and that is absolutely normal. Recognizing symptoms early is key to feeling empowered during this time.

    To guide us through the medical side, I sat down with Dr. Sharon Minkin, professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences at Yale School of Medicine. I asked her, what are the most common misconceptions about perimenopause? She emphasized that it isn’t a disease—it’s a natural phase, and understanding what’s happening is the foundation of empowerment. We also discussed hormone replacement therapy, or HRT. For decades, HRT was widely used, but after a controversial study in 2002, many women became fearful of it. Dr. Minkin clarified that more recent research has shown that, especially for women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause, HRT can be safe and effective when tailored personally. There’s a range of delivery methods now—pills, patches, gels, and more—so it’s no longer a one-size-fits-all approach. The important part is having an open, informed discussion with your healthcare provider about what’s right for you.

    We talked about holistic therapies too—acupuncture, yoga, and certain medicinal plants like black cohosh have shown promise in easing symptoms like hot flashes and sleep disruption. The team at LynLake Health reminds us that these complementary treatments can help manage anxiety, chronic pain, and improve overall well-being. They may not work for everyone, but having a toolkit—traditional medicine, lifestyle changes, mental health support—means you’re meeting this stage with strength from many directions.

    My favorite takeaway from this episode actually comes from a recent article in The Lancet, advocating for an empowerment approach to perimenopause. Instead of overmedicalizing, the empowerment model focuses on each woman as an active partner in her own care, equipped with the knowledge to make choices based on her needs and preferences. The World Health Organization defines empowerment as gaining control over the factors that shape your life, and that’s exactly what we’re advocating for here today.

    Before we close, here are a few key takeaways: perimenopause is normal and happens in stages; HRT may be an option but isn’t the only one; holistic therapies can be valuable; and the most powerful tool you have is information.

  • Navigating the Change: Your Perimenopause Compass
    2025/07/23
    This is your Women's Health Podcast podcast.

    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.

  • Navigating Perimenopause: Your Journey, Your Way
    2025/07/21
    This is your Women's Health Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to the Women's Health Podcast, where your wellness, strength, and knowledge come first. I’m your host, and today we’re diving right into a topic that is often talked about in whispers or not at all—perimenopause. This is the phase that can start as early as your late 30s or as late as your mid-40s, signaling that your body is transitioning toward menopause. For many women, it’s a confusing time, but it shouldn’t be a mysterious one. This is your space to feel empowered, informed, and heard.

    Let’s get real: too often, perimenopause is brushed aside as “just getting older,” but for many women, it’s a profound experience that impacts our bodies, minds, and lives in unexpected ways. That's why I’m honored to welcome Dr. Aisha Grant, board-certified OB/GYN at Willow Women’s Center, who spends every day helping women navigate this complex journey.

    Dr. Grant, thank you for joining us. Let’s jump right in. What are the earliest signs of perimenopause, and how do women know if what they’re experiencing isn’t just stress or hormonal fluctuations tied to their monthly cycles? Could you walk us through common symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and irregular periods—and help us understand what's “normal” during this phase? Listeners often ask about mood swings or brain fog. Is there a difference between perimenopausal changes and something like anxiety or depression?

    Let’s talk solutions. Are there lifestyle changes—maybe in diet, exercise, or sleep habits—that you find help women manage symptoms? And what about medical options? When do you recommend hormone therapy or other medical treatments, and what should women know before starting any medication?

    We also see a lot of conversation in online forums about perimenopause impacting relationships and sex lives. What advice do you have for women who feel their bodies are changing faster than they’re prepared for—and how can their partners support them?

    Finally, what is one piece of advice you wish every woman could hear before they even start perimenopause?

    As we power through this part of life, let’s remember that knowledge is our greatest asset. According to the Real Talk on Women’s Health podcast by Essentia Health, open conversation and safe spaces let women face even the most personal health issues with confidence and camaraderie. And Dr. Sarah White from Jean Hailes Women's Health emphasizes how our unique experiences as women must be recognized, supported, and valued. Your journey may look different from your mother’s, your sister’s, or your best friend’s, and that’s not only okay—it’s expected. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to perimenopause, but there are powerful choices and supportive communities waiting for you.

    Key takeaways today: notice changes early, don’t be afraid to talk to your provider, embrace lifestyle shifts that work for you, and above all—be kind to yourself as your body changes. The information, care, and support you need are available.
