Feeling stuck in perimenopause?
Navigating perimenopause can feel overwhelming, especially when women’s health is so often treated like men’s.
But it’s time to change that!
We’re so used to these deep-seated societal beliefs about women in midlife– putting us at a disadvantage when it comes to whole body health and disease prevention, especially as we age.
So if you’re struggling to get answers in perimenopause from your doctors, I’m here to connect the dots and empower you with knowledge.
In this episode, we break down women’s healthcare, common perimenopause symptoms, and how to recognize the early signs of hormonal shifts. Plus, I’m sharing a sneak peek into my upcoming book, The Perimenopause Revolution, coming this fall!

QUOTES
“I believe it's an average of 6 to 7 doctor visits before they get any help at all or that they are recognized as being in perimenopause at all.”
“Many women are plagued with confusion over issues like these, and they're having a difficult time connecting the dots because they're being told otherwise. Yet, when it comes to perimenopause, in order to understand what's not normal, you must first know your own baseline.”

Can LIGHT alone really help treat debilitating diseases?
Think…
Inflammation. Chronic pain. Arthritis. Gut diseases. Thyroid issues. Skin conditions. Mental health and cognitive function. Even CANCERS…
It’s true. Light CAN be a solution to all of these conditions.
How? All humans are hardwired to respond to light– our hormone shifts and energy signals adapt to light. So treatments like red light therapy help you tap into your body’s biology and highlight what’s available in nature… only at an accelerated rate.
Red Light expert Jonathan Otto joins the podcast today to explain how red light as a non-invasive, pain-free, chemical-free treatment method can help reverse cancer and other chronic diseases.
Sounds too good to be true? You’ll get all the facts here on how red light therapy may be just what you need to overcome setbacks and feel totally rejuvenated in your health!

“Even though women live longer, we’re not living healthier. And if red light therapy and having these modalities are going to help you to live a better, more fulfilled and more alive life for longer– I mean that to me, that's the name of the game.”
“With people using red light therapy, it's like a one and done. What's happening is people will save so much money, it's almost ridiculous. In that sense, it doesn't cost you anything, because there are so many things that it can replace.”

Have you ever felt like stress is running your life? That no matter what you do, you’re constantly exhausted, irritable, or dealing with hormonal symptoms like PMS, heavy periods, or brain fog? You’re not alone!
Chronic stress plays a huge role in hormonal imbalances—especially estrogen dominance. When your body is in survival mode, it prioritizes stress hormones like cortisol over reproductive hormones, leading to a cascade of issues that disrupt your menstrual cycle, energy levels, and overall well-being.
In this episode, I’m diving deep into how chronic stress impacts estrogen dominance, the sneaky stressors you may not even realize are affecting you, and ten simple hacks to restore balance and feel like yourself again.
Let’s break the cycle of stress and reclaim your health!
In this Episode
The surprising connection between stress and estrogen dominance
How chronic stress disrupts your thyroid, adrenals, and reproductive hormones
The sneaky stressors that may be messing with your cycle
Why progesterone levels plummet in perimenopause—and what to do about it
The role of xenoestrogens and environmental toxins in hormone imbalance
10 simple hacks to rebalance your hormones and support your body
How to send safety signals to your body and manage stress effectively
Quotes
"Your body is always doing its best to reach homeostasis, but chronic stress makes that nearly impossible. If we don’t address stress, we can’t fully heal our hormones."
"Most of us are leaning towards estrogen dominance by default—especially after 35. The key is to support progesterone and reduce stressors that tip the balance."
"Managing stress isn’t just about reducing overwhelm—it’s about telling your body it’s safe so that it can prioritize healing, digestion, and hormone balance."
