Understanding Perimenopause: The Transition No One Told Us About”
Perimenopause. You’ve probably heard the word — maybe in an article, a podcast, or whispered among friends — but what does it really mean?
In this episode of The Waiting Room Podcast, Dr. Milie and Angela unpack the hormonal, physical, and emotional shifts that happen around menopause — a stage that can begin years before your final period.
From irregular cycles and hormonal fluctuations to the truth about hormone therapy, this episode breaks down the science and the stigma.
Together, we explore:
What perimenopause actually is (and isn’t)
The connection between brain, ovaries, and hormones
The role of testosterone in women’s well-being
The facts about hormone therapy — beyond the myths
Why mental health and awareness are key parts of this journey
This conversation is not about fear — it’s about understanding, empowerment, and connection.
Tune in to hear a gynecologist who gets it, and a journalist who asks what we all wonder but rarely say out loud.
Because menopause is not a disease — it’s a transition. And we believe women deserve to go through it informed, connected, and empowered.
