Are you in your late 30s or your 40s and wondering if your sudden mood swings, brain fog, or even itchy ears are just stress—or if they are the start of perimenopause? You’re NOT alone, and it is perfectly normal to feel confused.
In this episode of Mind Your Midlife, Cheryl is joined by veteran health journalist Meghan Rabbitt, author of the incredibly comprehensive new book, The New Rules of Women’s Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age. We dive into why we need to move beyond "bikini medicine" and look at the whole picture of women's health. Meghan shares her expert research on decoding perimenopause, prepping for doctor appointments, and what your past pregnancies might reveal about your future heart health.
What You’ll Learn:
✔ The Symptom Checklist: Perimenopause encompasses over 100 different symptoms, including surprising ones
✔ How to Prep for the Doctor: Treat your doctor's appointment like a meeting with your accountant by bringing a prioritized list of your symptoms
✔ The "Advocate" Strategy: Bringing a trusted friend or partner to your appointment is a game-changer
✔ The Upsides of Menopause: The transition can lead to increased confidence, stepping into your own power, and caring less about the little things
