4 Myths keeping you confused about whether its perimenopause (or not)

Feeling exhausted, moody, and out of sync? It might not be stress or “just getting older.”

Many women dismiss perimenopause as being part of the cause of their symptoms, or are told it’s just part of being a busy Mum. But what if the real cause is perimenopause?

Key Takeaways
In this episode, we’re unpacking four common myths about perimenopause that are keeping women stuck, frustrated, and searching for answers. If you’re tired of feeling like your body is working against you, this episode is for you. Here’s what we cover:

• The surprising connection between perimenopause and regular periods. Hint: hormonal shifts start before your cycle changes.
