Night Sweats, Vaginal Dryness, & Horse Urine: Welcome to Perimenopause

This episode is all about perimenopause—when it starts, what it really feels like, and how to navigate the wild hormonal rollercoaster with your sanity (and friendships) intact.

Here’s what we get into:

• Patti’s just entering the night sweats chat (literally)

• Jan’s been-there-done-that tale of hormonal hell and healing

• What your doctor probably won’t tell you about hormone therapy (and what a functional medicine doc will)

• Why bioidentical hormone replacement therapy changed Jan’s life

• The good, the bad, and the itchy: vaginal dryness, mood swings, libido nosedives, and more

• Natural, medical, and lifestyle options to support you in perimenopause

• PSA: Pelvic floor therapy is a thing. And yes, it involves in there.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Wait—why didn’t anyone tell me this could happen?”—this episode is your new best friend. You are NOT crazy. You are NOT alone. And we’re so glad you’re here.
