#145  - Early Menopause is NOT Perimenopause: Warning Signs You Need to Know NOW In this episode, we’re diving into the often-overlooked topic of Early Menopause—when your hormones shift dramatically, leaving you feeling like your body is suddenly on a rollercoaster ride. We’ll explore the frustrating symptoms of early menopause to watch out for, like night sweats, missed periods, and brain fog. If you’re between 40 and 45 and have been missing your period for a full year, early menopause might be the culprit. I’ll share the lifestyle factors that can influence when it hits, including family history and diet (yes, it plays a major role). Plus, we’ll talk about natural strategies to reduce menopause symptoms and regain balance. It’s time to take charge of your health and understand what’s happening with your body. Tune in for practical tips on how to balance your hormones and feel better during this phase of life! Hormonal health starts here.
