The number one reason women come to me for guidance during the perimenopause transition is brain-related.  So in this episode, we dive into why perimenopause directly impacts your mental and emotional health. Many women in midlife experience emotionally connected symptoms like rage, irritability, low stress tolerance, mood swings, depression, and anxiety.  That’s because perimenopause isn’t just a reproductive transition — it’s a neuroendocrine one, meaning your brain and hormones are deeply intertwined.  As hormones fluctuate wildly, it’s no wonder you may feel like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore.  But you’re not alone — millions of women are feeling the same!  Tune in here and learn what’s really going on in your brain during this transition.
