This week, we’re back with part two of our conversation with the brilliant Bec and Wizz.
Why are they so brilliant? Because they’re on a mission to transform women’s lives with Valerie, the female health brand redefining perimenopause support through nutrition.
In this episode, we dive even deeper—exploring the real challenges women face during perimenopause, why nutritional support matters more than we realize, and the practical steps we can take long before we get there.
We cover (Part 2):
🩸 Why our grandmas didn't have as severe symptoms of perimenopause as today
🩸 Most common concerns of perimenopause
🩸 Why hair falls out during perimenopause and menopasue
🩸 The power of ashwaganda and adaptogens - and the rising trend of adaptogens
🩸 What would they tell someone entering perimenopause after all their experience

🩸 What are adaptogens? 🩸 (discussed in episode)
Think of adaptogens as your body’s little stress-fighting sidekicks. These are natural herbs and plants that help you adapt (yep, that’s where the name comes from) to stress—whether it’s physical, mental, or hormonal. Instead of letting stress drain you or send your hormones into a spiral, adaptogens work behind the scenes to keep things balanced. Some calm you down (like ashwagandha), some give you energy (like rhodiola), and others help regulate hormones (like maca).
Make sure you listened to Part 1!
What we covered in Part 1:
