If you’ve ever been told “it’s just stress,” “maybe try an antidepressant,” or “you’re probably just aging” — this episode is for you.

In this most-requested episode of You Good, Hormones?, we’re diving deep into Perimenopause 101 — what it actually is, when it starts (spoiler: earlier than you think), and why so many women are misdiagnosed with everything from anxiety to ADHD instead of getting real answers about their hormones.

I’m breaking down:

• What perimenopause feels like (beyond hot flashes)
• When it really starts (hint: often before your doctor thinks it does)
• 10 common conditions women are misdiagnosed with in perimenopause
• The hormone + mental health connection
• A powerful stat: Women prescribed HRT between ages 40–64 had a 47% lower suicide rate (2024 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Report)
• How to track your symptoms and advocate for real support

This is the episode that finally makes it all click.

What you’ll learn:
The real signs of perimenopause (even if your period is still regular)
Why so many women are told it’s “just anxiety”
The role of estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol in mood, sleep, and cognition
What labs to ask for (and why symptoms still matter more)
How perimenopause affects mental health — and what we can do about it

It could be time to talk about BHRT — Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

• And why you don’t have to wait until you’re postmenopausal to get help

This is the hormone conversation you’ve been waiting for.
You’ll walk away feeling informed, empowered, and maybe even a little hopeful.

Think you’re “too young” for hormone shifts?
Think again.

In this episode, we walk through the full hormone timeline — from your 30s to your 60s — and break down what’s really happening to your hormones at every stage (even if your doctor keeps telling you everything’s fine).

This is the episode that will help you finally understand:

• Why your PMS is getting worse in your 30s
• What perimenopause actually is (and why it can last a decade)
• Why “menopause” is just one day — and what happens after
• What symptoms in your 60s could still be hormone-related
• How to figure out where you are on the timeline

It’s not just educational — it’s empowering. Knowing this can help you stop guessing and start advocating.

What you’ll learn:
Hormone changes by decade (30s–60s)
How to know if you’re in perimenopause
The difference between symptoms and what labs show
Why understanding the timeline helps you feel less lost

This is the episode that validates all the things no one else is talking about — and makes you feel way less alone.

Why your symptoms aren’t “just stress”
How hormone changes start way earlier than you think
