Early Signs of Perimenopause: A Gynecologist Explains the Symptoms & Confusion
Description
Are you suddenly dealing with mood swings, irregular periods, night sweats, anxiety spikes, or that “off” feeling you can’t explain?
This episode breaks down the early signs of perimenopause — the symptoms women often miss, the ones doctors sometimes dismiss, and the confusion around what’s hormonal versus what’s just life.
I’m joined by Dr. Priyanka Mehta (@drpriyankamehta), gynecologist and women’s health specialist, to unpack:
• How perimenopause really begins
• Why it often gets mistaken for stress, burnout, thyroid issues, or anxiety
• The first symptoms women should never ignore
• What’s normal vs when to seek medical advice
• The truth about hormone testing (FSH, estradiol, thyroid and more)
• HRT confusion explained simply and clearly
• How to support your hormones through lifestyle and nutrition
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, confused, or unsure about what your body is doing — this conversation will finally bring clarity.
