What this episode covers
Before blaming every symptom on perimenopause, it’s worth asking a bigger question: what if your body is trying to tell you something deeper? In this episode, we sit down with Bria Gadd, The Period Whisperer, to unpack the root causes behind hormonal chaos, exploring everything from gut health and adrenal dysfunction to blood sugar, endotoxins, and functional lab testing. Bria shares why supporting your body before jumping into detoxes or hormone replacement therapy can make all the difference, and how working with the right practitioner helps cut through the overwhelming amount of perimenopause advice online. The conversation also dives into peptides, changing menstrual cycles, birth control, and the surprising role that stress, sleep, and even a lack of joy can play in how you feel during midlife. If you're navigating perimenopause, or want to prepare for it, this episode is packed with practical, root-cause strategies to help you regain your energy, balance your hormones, and thrive through the transition.
