Season 5, Episode 31:
Have you ever asked yourself, “Is it hot, or is it just me?” If so, you’re not alone! Perimenopause and menopause bring a wave of changes, but with the right knowledge and tools, you can navigate them with confidence.
In this episode of Mature Allure, I sit down with Carin Luna-Ostaseski, founder of Hot or Just Me, an online resource designed to support healthy aging for women through perimenopause and menopause. Carin shares her personal journey with perimenopause, the challenges she faced, and how she turned those struggles into a business that provides trusted products, expert advice, and a strong community. We dive into the most common symptoms of perimenopause, practical solutions to manage them, and how women can reclaim their health, confidence, and well-being during this transformative stage of life.
What we discussed:
