Ep. 153 Perimenopause Symptoms: The Signs Women Miss Before Hot Flashes Begin
Most women think perimenopause starts with hot flashes. It doesn't.
For many women in perimenopause, the first signs have nothing to do with heat. They're subtle, confusing, and easy to write off as stress, aging, or just having too much on your plate. In this episode I walk through what perimenopause actually is, why hormone fluctuation makes symptoms feel so random and unpredictable, and the full picture of what early perimenopause symptoms actually look like — including the ones almost nobody connects to hormones.
This episode is for the woman over 40 who's been wondering why she suddenly feels anxious, why she can't sleep, why her brain isn't working the way it used to, why she feels like a completely different person — and hasn't been able to get a straight answer.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
What perimenopause actually is and why it can start earlier than most women expect
Why hormone fluctuation makes perimenopause symptoms feel random and unpredictable
Why your menstrual cycle is often the first sign something is shifting
The symptoms most women never connect to perimenopause: anxiety, sleep problems, brain fog, mood swings, fatigue
The symptoms almost nobody talks about: heart palpitations, frozen shoulder, joint pain, recurrent UTIs, tinnitus, and more
