Think about all the major hormonal transitions we go through as women: puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause.
We spend so much time learning about and preparing for the first three, but when it comes to perimenopause, so many of us are left wondering…
Where the heck is the manual?!
Why are so many women entering this stage of life with so little understanding of what’s happening in their bodies?
In this episode of The Midlife Glow Up, Joan shares her personal experience navigating perimenopause, including the frustration of feeling dismissed by her doctor, the challenges of finding knowledgeable medical support, and what she learned about her own health along the way.
She also explores some of the historical gaps in women’s health research and education, why menopause symptoms are so often misunderstood, and how confusing and overwhelming it can be to sort through conflicting health information.
Most importantly, Joan shares why she’s become so passionate about helping women feel informed, confident, and empowered to advocate for their health.
