Using a continuous glucose monitor

Perimenopause has a way of showing up with little surprises. One month I'm sleeping through the night, feeling fine. The next I'm wide awake at 3 AM or losing a brilliant idea the moment I open a new tab. If your body has been pulling these tricks too, you are in good company.

In this episode, I share the five things that help me feel more grounded as I move through my own perimenopause. You'll hear how I support my sleep, how I train, the supplements that stay in my routine, the labs I check, and the hormone choices I'm using right now.

You'll get a better sense of what your body might be doing and some practical tools that make this phase a little easier to navigate day to day.

If you've ever wondered what a hormone doctor relies on when she goes through perimenopause herself, this episode lays it out in a clear and simple way. Come listen.
