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.

Hosted by Gayu Lewis (@gayulewis) — Integrative Women’s Health Coach, chef, and menopause educator.
