  • Perimenopause Power: Embracing the Change, Owning Your Journey

    Perimenopause Power: Embracing the Change, Owning Your Journey
    2025/07/18
    This is your Women's Health Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to the Women's Health Podcast, where we embrace knowledge as a pathway to empowerment. Today, we’re diving right into perimenopause—the transitional phase that signals the end of a woman’s reproductive years and often catches women by surprise. If you’ve noticed changes in your cycle, sleep patterns, mood, or energy, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what you can expect, what you can do, and, most importantly, why you have every right to feel empowered through it all.

    Perimenopause, sometimes called “the menopause transition,” doesn’t happen in a single moment. It can last months or even years, typically beginning in your 40s but sometimes as early as your late 30s. According to UCLA Health, sneaky symptoms can include not only hot flashes and irregular periods, but also joint aches, trouble sleeping, mood swings, and brain fog—things often dismissed as just getting older. This transition might make you feel like your body is no longer your own, but remember: knowledge is power and your experience is valid.

    I recently sat down with Dr. Kavita Patil from UCLA Health to ask some of the questions so many women have: What truly causes these symptoms? Are there safe treatments that work? And how can we support ourselves not just medically but in our daily routines? Dr. Patil emphasized that the hormone shifts of perimenopause are at the heart of the changes. She pointed out that while hormone therapy—especially systemic estrogen—remains one of the most effective options for relieving hot flashes, night sweats, and protecting bone health, it’s not the only way. The key is to have an individualized conversation with your provider. For example, recent approval of fezolinetant, a non-hormonal medication, offers relief for hot flashes by targeting brain receptors that regulate body temperature. SSRIs, SNRIs, and gabapentin might also help with mood swings, anxiety, and sleep.

    But medication is only part of the picture. Dr. Patil reminded us that perimenopause is a time to prioritize your wellbeing. Upping your physical activity, focusing on bone-strengthening exercise like weight lifting, and dialing in your nutrition become even more important. Heart-healthy choices, a regular sleep schedule, plant-forward meals, and managing stress with tools like yoga or meditation can all make a huge difference.

    I also spoke with Kris Teow, women’s health advocate, who stressed how every woman’s perimenopause journey is different. What matters most is not comparing yourself to others, but recognizing your unique needs and seeking support that honors your story. Above all, breaking the silence—talking honestly about symptoms, worries, and hopes—is essential for changing how our culture approaches this vital part of life.

    Here are today’s key takeaways: perimenopause is deeply individual, but you do not have to navigate it alone. Know your symptoms, track your changes, and advocate for treatments—hormonal or not—that work for you. Nourish your bones, your sleep, and your mental health. Surround yourself with women who lift each other up, and trust that seeking help is an act of power, not weakness.

  • Navigating Perimenopause: Your Journey, Your Power

    Navigating Perimenopause: Your Journey, Your Power
    2025/07/16
    This is your Women's Health Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to the Women's Health Podcast, a space dedicated to real conversations about what matters most to women. Today, we’re talking about perimenopause—a major chapter in many women’s lives that comes with a host of questions and, too often, a sense of solitude. If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or early 50s and have noticed sudden changes in your cycles, your mood, or your energy levels, you’re not alone. Perimenopause is a natural, empowering transition, and it’s time we talk about it clearly and openly.

    So, what is perimenopause? This is the period leading up to menopause, when the ovaries gradually decrease hormone production. It can last anywhere from a few months to several years. According to the Mayo Clinic, women may see their periods become unpredictable, experience hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and shifts in mood. There isn’t a single test for perimenopause—your story, your symptoms, and your experience matter most. This is about your body’s journey and owning it with knowledge.

    To shed light on perimenopause and how we can best navigate it, I’m joined by Dr. Lisa Petlow, a specialist in women’s health. Dr. Petlow, thank you for being here.

    Dr. Petlow, what are the earliest and most overlooked signs of perimenopause that women should be aware of? How do you recommend women track or document changes so they can have informed discussions with their healthcare providers?

    Many listeners want clear guidance. What are the medical and nonmedical treatments that really make a difference for the most common symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, or mood swings? According to experts at the Mayo Clinic and WebMD, treatment isn’t about stopping perimenopause—it’s about relief. There’s systemic estrogen therapy, birth control pills, and newer medications like fezolinetant, which has been approved for intense hot flashes. For women who can’t use hormones, there are effective options like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and gabapentin. Simple things like good sleep, balanced nutrition, and movement are powerful too.

    Vaginal dryness and pain with sex are especially important, but often left undiscussed. Dr. Petlow, how can women bring these concerns up with their providers, and what treatments are safe and effective? It’s encouraging to know that estrogen creams or local treatments can make a significant difference, as recommended by Planned Parenthood and Mayo Clinic.

    Let’s talk about emotional wellness. Perimenopause can bring anxiety and depression. Dr. Petlow, what supports do you suggest—both therapeutic and community-driven?

    Every journey is unique. From our conversation, here’s what I want every woman to take away: you are not powerless in perimenopause. Knowledge is your right and support is available. Track your symptoms, speak up, and ask about all treatment options, both medical and lifestyle. Seek community; don’t isolate. The more we talk—and demand answers—the better care we all receive.

Stay empowered, stay curious, and above all, know that you are not alone. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Navigating the Change: Your Perimenopause Toolkit

    Navigating the Change: Your Perimenopause Toolkit
    2025/07/14
    This is your Women's Health Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to the Women’s Health Podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re jumping right into a topic that touches nearly every woman’s life—perimenopause. For many, this transition can feel like the start of an unknown journey, but my goal is to equip us all with knowledge, confidence, and the sense that we’re not alone.

    Perimenopause is the natural lead-up to menopause, usually beginning in your forties—though it can start earlier—and marked by changes in your menstrual cycle, hot flashes, sleep issues, mood swings, and more. According to Mayo Clinic, there’s no single sign or test that signals the start. It’s a gradual transition, and the experience is as unique as each of us.

    To help us navigate this chapter, I’m thrilled to bring on Dr. Maria Evans, a board-certified OB-GYN with over two decades of experience supporting women through all stages of life. Dr. Evans, thank you for joining us.

    Let’s get right to the heart of it. First, what exactly is perimenopause, and how does it differ from menopause? Can you talk us through some of the most common symptoms—especially those early signals that listeners might overlook?

    Next, we hear so much about hot flashes and night sweats, but perimenopause is also about changes in mood and cognition. What’s going on in our brains and bodies during this time, and why do some women experience anxiety or depression?

    Another big topic is treatment options. Mayo Clinic and Planned Parenthood both note that systemic estrogen therapy—pills, patches, gels—remains the most effective medical treatment for hot flashes and night sweats. But that’s not for everyone. Can you walk us through the pros and cons of hormone therapies, and who they’re best for?

    For listeners who prefer to avoid hormones, what non-hormonal therapies do you recommend? Dr. Evans, you’ve mentioned the value of SSRIs—antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors—for mood swings and even hot flashes. There’s also gabapentin and, as Right as Rain at UW Medicine reports, a new medication called fezolinetant, recently approved for hot flash relief by the FDA. How do these options compare, and what should listeners ask their doctors about before starting any of these therapies?

    We also know lifestyle changes matter. Good nutrition, regular movement, maintaining healthy sleep habits, and reducing caffeine can all help, though not every solution works for everyone. How can women build a personalized perimenopause toolkit that fits their symptoms and lifestyle?

    Finally, how do you recommend women advocate for themselves in healthcare settings, especially if they feel dismissed or misunderstood during this transition?

    Listeners, as we wrap up, here are a few key takeaways. Perimenopause is a natural part of a woman’s life, not a problem to be fixed but a transition to be navigated with information and support. You have options—from hormone therapies to non-hormonal medications and lifestyle adjustments. Don’t hesitate to reach out to healthcare providers like Dr. Evans or organizations like Planned Parenthood to find support that meets your needs. Most importantly, your experience is valid, and you deserve care that centers your voice.
