About this episode
We tell a raw, clear story about early perimenopause, the “dark cloud” weeks that shook our home, and the decision to push for medical help after lifestyle changes weren’t enough. We share how cycle tracking, food choices, and advocacy led to a progesterone-only plan and a commitment to speak up.
• early signs and confusion with anemia
• food triggers, whole foods, and energy stability
• cycle tracking to predict mood shifts
• the breaking-point weekend and recovery
• deciding not to accept only 23 good days
• advocating at the appointment and pressing for care
• starting SLYND (progesterone-only) and supportive steps
• naming hard symptoms: dryness, libido changes, nausea
• inviting partners and kids into the plan
• ending stigma and refusing silent suffering
Make time, prioritize. I will continue to let you know how things are going on my side. I would love for you guys to be with me on this part of the journey because it is something that is so poorly documented and is just not talked about enough.
