1345. What No One Tells You About Perimenopause: Sleep, Brain Fog, Weight + Hormones w/ Tamsen Fadal

Hey Heal Squad! Today for our throwback episode, we’re throwing it back to one of our must-listen conversations with Emmy-winning journalist and How to Menopause author Tamsen Fadal. If you’re in your late 30s, 40s or beyond, you may hear your own symptoms very differently after this episode. Could the brain fog, sleep problems, bloating, irregular periods, anxiety, libido changes or unexplained changes in your body actually be signs of perimenopause? Tamsen breaks down the symptoms women often miss (or simply blame on stress!)and explains why perimenopause can begin years before your period actually stops. Plus, Maria goes through Tamsen’s symptom checklist herself and discovers she has A LOT more signs than she realized! We also get into hormone therapy and non-hormonal options, why strength training becomes so important, the role of sleep and nutrition, how alcohol can affect symptoms, and the lifestyle changes Tamsen wishes she had started sooner. If you've ever thought, “Why don't I feel like myself anymore?” this conversation may help you start connecting the dots. Enjoy, Heal Squad!
