Ep 2: It’s Not Just Hot Flushes! Understanding Perimenopause and How You Can Support It

from The Nature and Nurture Podcast · host Dannii Best

Perimenopause can feel like your body has suddenly changed the rules without telling you. One week you feel fine, the next you’re wired, foggy, anxious, or searching for the blankets at 3 a.m. wondering what on earth is happening.In this episode, I dive into what’s actually going on behind those symptoms. From shifting oestrogen and progesterone levels to how they influence mood, sleep, energy, metabolism, and more. I’ll bust some of the biggest myths (no, it’s not all in your head — and it doesn’t only happen in your 50s), and share practical starting points to help you feel grounded again.We’ll chat about:✨ What’s really happening hormonally during perimenopause✨ Common (and often missed) symptoms beyond hot flushes✨ Why blood tests can look “normal” when you don’t feel normal✨ Foundational supports including food, sleep, movement, and stress care✨ How herbs and nutrients can help (and why personalisation is key)✨ A reminder that you’re not broken, this is a transition, not a declinePerimenopause isn’t something to dread; it’s a stage to understand and support. The more we talk about it, the easier it becomes to recognise, manage, and thrive through.Listen now and share this episode with a friend who might be navigating the same stage, because no one should have to go through it feeling alone.In this episode I also recommend the app FitOn, which you can download from the App Store or Google Play.
