Andrea J. Singer, MD, FACP, CCD and Michael R. McClung, MD review the preservation of bone health in perimenopausal women, with a particular focus on the role of hormone therapy and how the interplay of hormonal, lifestyle, and genetic factors is key to developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.
Nadia says “ navigating your 40s is a powerful opportunity for transformation, yet many women feel held back by hormonal changes and societal expectations of perimenopause. It's crucial to cut through the noise of "should's" and "can'ts", understanding that embracing change is the real key to unlocking vibrant energy and feeling your best. Empowerment comes from recognising that you don't need to be victimised by the shifts your body is going through; instead, you can redefine this time as one of growth and renewal. Living well in your 40s and beyond is about sustaining joy, fun, and energy through a balanced lifestyle. This isn't a time for sacrifice but for embracing a long-term path that's enjoyable and fulfilling. Nadia's approach is about simplifying health strategies to make them achievable and integrating activities that bring happiness into daily life.

Prior is a 40+ year University of British Columbia Endocrinology Professor. An award-winning Clinician-Scientist (Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, 2019), her innovative concepts are changing women's reproduction.

Prior is an internationally recognized thought leader on menstrual cycles, ovulation, perimenopause, menopause, osteoporosis prevention and night sweats treatment with an H-Index of 75.

No matter how many times we hear it.. When our hormones begin to shift, it can still feel like no one prepared you for what's coming. I'll never forget the moment I realized I was officially in perimenopause: At 44, I felt an overwhelming sense of dread, bouts of rage I couldn't explain, and the exhaustion of crawling through mud just to get through the day. As someone who has supported thousands of women through midlife transitions, I knew exactly what was happening—and yet, I wasn't prepared for how destabilizing it would feel. That's why in this week's solo episode, I'm sharing the advice I wish I could have given my younger self—practical tools and insights to help you thrive in this transformative season. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Recognize the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of early perimenopause. Reclaim the belief that you deserve to feel good—and how to make it happen. Build rituals that bring more joy, energy, and presence into your daily life. Set fierce boundaries and let go of what no longer serves you. Use this window of opportunity to lay the foundation for your healthspan and longevity. It's time to leave the fog behind and start creating a midlife you love. Tune in now for all the answers you need to get there! Visit podcast page: https://drmariza.com/episode609 IN THIS EPISODE The first signs of perimenopause you may not expect.

Yet, it's a beautiful reminder to punctuate your day with things that nourish you—physically, emotionally, and spiritually." "Movement is life. The more we move our bodies throughout the day, the more we win the game of life—especially during perimenopause, a window of opportunity to support our muscles, metabolism, and overall health."

In this week's podcast, we're diving straight into what most doctors aren't telling women about HRT. Whether it's static versus cyclic dosing, the benefits of bioidentical hormones, or how to get the most out of progesterone and estrogen… Certified hormone expert Karen Martel is here to help you cut through the confusion. She's revealing why the one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for hormone therapy, especially during perimenopause and menopause. And how you can tailor HRT to meet your specific needs.

They're making calls about our hormones without really understanding what women actually need.” “Hormone therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. Every woman deserves options that are tailored to her unique body, especially through perimenopause and menopause.” “Don't let anyone dictate what you should feel during perimenopause. Test, experiment, and advocate for yourself—it's your life, your body, and your hormones.” “Women are often afraid of hormone replacement, but bioidentical hormones are identical to what our bodies naturally make.

Hey friend! Quick mental health check: Have you felt more anxious, tense, or “on edge” lately? If you're nodding your head or counting on both hands the number of times you snapped at a loved one this week, you're not alone! According to a recent study of 40,000 perimenopausal and menopausal women, nearly 60% reported severe anxiety or depression!!! Another study reports that one in three of all women going to their doctor for mood swings or other mood-related symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are offered anxiety medication as the sole solution. The problem is: If you're in your mid-30s to mid-50s, the irritability, anxiety, or anger you're feeling is likely not just “in your head”; it's in your hormones. And while SSRIs may sometimes help, they can often just be a bandaid for other hormonal symptoms that will only continue to worsen over time. So what can you do to ease your anxiety without drugs, doctors (or divorce?) Join me for today's episode as we unpack: The root cause of perimenopausal and menopausal anxiety Why your anxiety medication isn't working…or is no longer working Whether oral contraceptives can help balance hormone-related mood swings Plus, 5 tips to reduce your anxiety, naturally If you're 1 in 4 women in perimenopause through post-menopause dealing with anxiety, intense mood swings, or personality changes, this episode is for you! — Next Steps: Take my FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/HormoneSelfAssessment Book a FREE Hormone Clarity Call: https://bit.ly/HCprecall Shop my Favorite Hormone Balancing Supplements And Save 5% or More on Every Order (Enter promo code EUQ1741): https://www.iherb.com/me/HormoneBalance EP 8 | Do Hormone Balancing Supplements Work?: https://pod.fo/e/233fc7 EP 9 | Six Warning Signs Your Supplements for Menopause and Perimenopause Might Be a Scam: https://pod.fo/e/237907 EP 14 | Is Estrogen Dominance Causing Your Hormonal Weight Gain? 3 Quick Tips To Move The Scale: https://pod.fo/e/23e32f EP 15 | Hypothyroidism And Weight Gain: 3 Healthy Hacks To Help Shed Those Extra Pounds: https://pod.fo/e/240c5f EP 17 | The Hidden Cause of Hormonal Weight Gain in Women Over 40: Adrenal Fatigue: https://pod.fo/e/24389 EP 20 | Menopause, Sleeping Problems, and Post Menopausal Weight Gain: Is Low Estrogen to Blame?: https://pod.fo/e/248b3b Become A Podcast Insider: https://areyoutheremidlife.com/ Email Me: monica@monicalanetopete.com *Disclaimer: Information provided in this podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Hey friend, Today, we are taking a trip back in time.. going deep inside the podcast vault to revisit my very first episode of the pod: Ep. #1: “How Do I Know If I'm in Perimenopause?” If you already listened to this episode in March, I'm resharing this episode for TWO VERY IMPORTANT REASONS: 1.) First, I'm launching a brand new series of the podcast this month where I'll be taking a deep dive into more than 26 perimenopause and menopause symptoms–from Anxiety to Zits…and all the letters of the alphabet in between. And in order to get the MOST out of this series, I want to make sure you have a basic understanding of perimenopause, how it relates to its older sister, menopause, and how you can be sure if YOU'RE really going through it. 2.) Second, perimenopause can be difficult to diagnose. If you've ever had a visit with your doctor and brought up the “possibility” of perimenopause…and he looked back at you like that time your husband forgot your birthday…ya know what I'm talking about.:) Not only are most doctors ill-equipped to treat patients in perimenopause, but there are a lot of other health issues that start to emerge right around the same age. And since there's no ONE test to diagnose perimenopause, doctors can't be sure whether your symptoms are due to a shift in your hormones…or something else entirely. This episode is so important, it's worth repeating! So, in today's flashback episode, I'm getting SUPER vulnerable and sharing with you my personal hormone story, as well as walking you through three tell-tale signs that you're in perimenopause. In this episode you will learn: What age does perimenopause start? How long does perimenopause typically last? Perimenopausal spotting and perimenopausal periods: What to expect Perimenopause and birth control: How synthetic hormones affect your body's natural transition Plus: What are the most common perimenopausal symptoms? Whether you just back home from a vacation where you completely fell off the healthy eating wagon, OR you're feeling the effects of a little “too much” summer fun…and you're not quite done yet...this episode is for you! If you've got a laundry list of hormonal symptoms…and a copy of your latest lab results that says, “Everything is normal,” grab a notepad and just push play. — Next Steps: Take my FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/HormoneSelfAssessment Book a FREE Hormone Clarity Call: https://bit.ly/HCprecall Shop my Favorite Hormone Balancing Supplements And Save 5% or More on Every Order (Enter promo code EUQ1741): https://www.iherb.com/me/HormoneBalance Become A Podcast Insider: https://areyoutheremidlife.com/ Email Me: monica@monicalanetopete.com *Disclaimer: Information provided in this podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Hey friend! Are you getting ready to go on vacation this month? Me too!
When Miranda July entered her early forties, she noticed a grim feeling emerge. “It wasn't coming from me,” she said, “I guess it came from this lack of imagery, or stories, or even just basic medical information about what was going to happen next with my body.” The dearth of information and near absence of cultural mythology about perimenopause and menopause became the catalyst for her novel All Fours, which came out in May and quickly became a New York Times bestseller. In this episode, Miranda talks about the unease that inspired the book and speculates about what the future could look like if more people openly discussed this crucial chapter of life. We also hear from listeners who share their experiences with perimenopause and menopause. The interview with Miranda was recorded live in San Francisco for City Arts & Lectures.
