Episode 243: Why PMS Feels Worse in Perimenopause (And How to Finally Feel Better)
If you’re dealing with mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain around your midsection, worsening PMS, or feeling like your body is suddenly working against you, this episode is for you. You’re not losing your mind. You’re in perimenopause, a long transition (not a two-week phase) where your hormones are shifting, your metabolism is changing, and your body is asking for support, not punishment.
In this episode I’m sharing:
The labs every woman should run during perimenopause
How dropping estrogen and progesterone can change your fat distribution and energy
What your adrenals have to do with worsening PMS, exhaustion, irritability, and sleep
Blood sugar strategies that stabilize hormones
Supplements that actually help
Why phytoestrogen foods (like flaxseed) can help, but only if your gut microbiome and detox pathways are supported
The role of minerals like boron, sodium, and potassium in smoothing the transition
How oxytocin improves insulin sensitivity, plus daily ways to build more joy, connection, and calm
Workouts that support your metabolism now: heavy strength training + zone 2 walking, not more HIIT
How to create a personalized, sustainable plan by supporting adrenals, thyroid, gut, minerals, and metabolic health
Remember: perimenopause isn’t something to fear, it’s a phase your body can thrive in when you give it targeted support. This episode will help you understand what’s changing, take control of your symptoms, and move through this transition with energy, confidence, and ease.
