Hey friends, welcome back to the show! Today’s episode is one I’m so excited to share because it’s packed with encouragement, hope, and practical solutions. We’re diving into a topic that so many women have questions about but often feel hesitant to bring up — perimenopause. Let me ask : Have you ever wondered, Why am I not in the mood anymore?Or, Why do I walk into a room and forget why I’m there?Or maybe, Why am I suddenly wide awake at 3 a.m. every night? Hot flashes, fatigue, memory lapses—it can feel like our bodies are turning against us, right? Well, friends, I want you to know you’re not alone, and there are answers. Today, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Mikala Albertson, a board-certified family practice doctor, women’s health advocate, and someone who has a gift for meeting us right in the middle of our messy, ordinary lives. Mikala’s new book, Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife: A Woman’s Guide to Health in the Body You Actually Have, is a powerful resource full of gentle wisdom and practical advice for navigating this season with confidence and grace. This conversation isn’t just about symptoms; it’s about finding hope, embracing the changes, and stepping into this stage of life feeling empowered and supported. Because here’s the truth: Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end—it’s the start of a whole new chapter, and I want you to feel amazing as you write it. So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and join us as we unpack the mysteries of perimenopause and uncover solutions that can make a real difference in your life. You’ve got this, and we’re here to help you along the way! Favorite Quotes: 06:54 - “If we go through the whole list of things and symptoms that can come along with perimenopause, it affects nearly every organ system.” 08:29 - “After we go through menopause, that symptom seems to fix itself. So it's not permanent. It's not forever.” 11:38 - “We have found that estrogen and progesterone both are really important in other areas of the body.” 19:52 - “We can take care of our bodies in a much better way without the focus on what our weight is or appearance.” Recommendations: Things I love and think you will too!
