Why You Feel Off in Your 30s & 40s: The Lifestyle Shifts That Change Everything | Dr. India Presley-Boyd

Why do so many women start feeling 'off' in their late 30s and early 40s, long before anyone mentions menopause?  In this episode of the Wellness and Growth Journeys Podcast, host Mialisa Garnes sits down with Dr. India Presley-Boyd, a lifestyle-focused women's health provider, to unpack the small daily habits that shape long-term hormonal health, and why the 35-45 window matters more than most women realize. Dr. India explains how sleep, stress, cortisol, and even the order you eat your food affect your hormones and energy, why 'normal' labs can still miss what's really going on, and when it's time to see a hormone specialist rather than push through. In this episode: → What lifestyle-focused medicine actually looks like → Why the order you eat food (fiber and protein before carbs) matters → Sleep, stress, and cortisol as hidden drivers of how you feel → Why perimenopause can start in your 30s → Why 'normal' labs aren't always normal → When anxiety and depression are actually hormonal → When to see a hormone specialist instead of your PCP   Connect with Dr. India Presley-Boyd Instagram: @wanderlustconciergehc  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/india-presley-boyd-dnp-msn-agpcnp-c-a983759b   Wellness & Growth Journeys Podcast  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wellness-growth-journeys/id1761928681 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/653PlFZ7LxJvZNf0Nh6crj Work with Mia  Free Patient Experience Gap Report for clinic owners: wellnessgrowthagency.com/gap-report Website: wellnessgrowthagency.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/mialisa-garnes   #Perimenopause #Menopause #MidlifeWomen #WomensHealth #HormoneHealth #LifestyleMedicine #BloodSugar #WellnessAndGrowthJourneys
