Perimenopause: Environmental Toxins, Hormones & Midlife Health

In this episode of Molds, Mycotoxins, and More, I speak with Dr. Jen Pfleghaar about how mold and environmental toxins disrupt hormones—especially during perimenopause. We explore estrogen dominance, insulin resistance, liver detox pathways, and why many women are misdiagnosed instead of treated at the root cause. This conversation connects environmental exposure to midlife hormone chaos and practical recovery strategies.- - - - -About the Guest:Dr. Jen Pfleghaar is a double board-certified physician in Emergency and Integrative Medicine.
