#306 Not your normal Perimenopause with Ann Marie McQueen
In this episode, I sit down with journalist and perimenopause expert Ann Marie McQueen to dive deep into the often-overlooked transition into menopause.
🌿 Ann Marie shares her personal journey through perimenopause, exploring the mental and physical symptoms she faced and the emotional growth that came with it.
We also talk about the challenges women encounter with misinformation, HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), and why progesterone often gets sidelined.
Curious about how lifestyle choices impact perimenopause and menopause symptoms?
Or how chronic stress, and under-eating combined with overtraining may be contributing to these symptoms?
This episode is packed with insights that every woman navigating midlife needs to hear.
Takeaway: This isn’t just about hormones—it’s about nourishing your body, managing stress, and embracing your emotional well-being. ❤️
