You’ve heard it before: “It’s just perimenopause.” But what if that explanation is only scratching the surface?
In this episode of Chronic Conversations, host Katherine Rose unpacks the deeper, often overlooked factors driving your midlife symptoms. From energy crashes to mood swings and unexplained weight gain—this isn’t just “normal aging.” It’s your body asking for more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Katherine invites you to look beyond hormones and explore what’s really going on under the surface. Drawing on functional wellness insights, she sheds light on hidden contributors that conventional advice tends to miss.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or stuck in your perimenopause journey, this conversation offers a fresh, empowering perspective—and a reminder that you’re not broken, you just need better support.
✨ What You’ll Learn:
- Why hormone talk alone isn’t enough
- The surprising systems that may be driving your symptoms
- Key clues your body is sending (and how to start listening)
- The first steps to personalized, root-cause support
Listen in if...
You’re tired of vague answers, want to feel like yourself again, and are ready to reclaim your health with clarity and confidence.
