Oniony or Musky Body Odor Fixes

If you're over 40 and suddenly dealing with weird symptoms like itchy ears, new body odor, or constant puffiness, you're not imagining things. In this Hello Hormones episode, I explain why these things show up out of nowhere and how hormones are usually the quiet culprit.

We dive deeper into odor changes that smell musky or oniony, itchy ears that make zero sense until you understand estrogen shifts, and that puffy, water-retaining feeling that has nothing to do with fat gain. Each of these has a physiological explanation and simple fixes you can often start at home.

We also chat about hair loss and how to calm an inflamed scalp, rosacea that sneaks in during perimenopause, and sore or tender breasts that are not always an estrogen problem. The goal is clarity, relief, and giving you practical tools so these symptoms stop feeling mysterious and start feeling manageable.
