Perimenopause in Your 30s: Why We Need Better Hormone Testing for Women - with Dr. Amandeep Hansra

What if the brain fog, the mood swings, and the exhaustion you're dismissing as "just stress" is actually perimenopause... and you're only 37? This is a conversation from our full length episode with Dr. Amandeep Hansra on Female Startup Club, where she's getting brutally honest about the thing most doctors still won't tell you: perimenopause can start in your 30s. And the tests we're using to diagnose it? They're basically useless. In this conversation, Dr. Amandeep opens up about why a single blood test won't tell you if you're perimenopausal (your hormones fluctuate minute to minute), why she had to see three doctors before getting HRT prescribed (as a doctor herself), and the 2000s study that created a generation of women too scared to take hormones that could actually help them live longer. I wanted to know: Why we can't diagnose perimenopause with a blood test (and what we actually need) What the HRT scare of the early 2000s got wrong and why doctors are still scared to prescribe it How to find a doctor who won't dismiss your symptoms as anxiety This one is for the woman who's been told "it's just stress" or "maybe it's anxiety" when she knows something deeper is going on in her body.
