PERIMENOPAUSE: The Real Change

I’m kicking off a month-long series on Perimenopause and women’s health with a doozy.  Did you know that most of the upheaval doesn’t happen at menopause? It happens DURING perimenopause. Not before. Not after. In this episode, I’m talking to Dr. Jen Ashton (Founder, Ajenda) and Aarti Sequeira (Food Network)  to unpack why perimenopause is the true turning point for women. Essentially, it’s the storm before the calm.  We’ll discuss new research finally focused on women’s health, the cultural silence that treats it as negotiable, plus why this stage is often called the “coming of rage” — and how it can also be the moment we step into our Midlife Wonder Woman years. This conversation is part of our month-long series on PERIMENOPAUSE and women’s health. Let’s Talk About It.  Listen in to learn more: 05:31) Perimenopause (10:49) Health Concerns and Perimenopause (13:39) Women's Menopause Market Growth and Research (19:35) Healthcare System and Wellness Focus  (22:12) Menopause Movement and Women's Strength  (24:42) Menopause Experts' Responsibility and Empowerment  (29:13) Brain Changes During Perimenopause In this episode, we are diving into honest conversations about perimenopause and menopause, the three significant changes a woman goes through in her lifetime, why the changes in perimenopause often feel so monumental, current research on women’s health, the pros and cons of western medicine and the American healthcare system, and taking responsibility for our own health.
