This is your Women's Health Podcast podcast. Welcome to Women's Health Podcast, where we empower women with knowledge about their bodies and well-being. I'm your host, Dr. Sarah Johnson, and today we're diving into a topic that affects millions of women: perimenopause. We'll explore what it is, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to navigate this transitional phase with confidence. Let's start with the basics. Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause, typically beginning in your 40s, but it can start as early as your 30s. It's a natural part of aging, but it can bring some unexpected changes that might leave you feeling confused or frustrated. To help us understand perimenopause better, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Emily Chen, a board-certified gynecologist specializing in menopause care. Dr. Chen, thank you for joining us today.
