54: What To Expect When You Aren’t Expecting Anything: Perimenopause Edition

What to Expect When You Aren't Expecting Anything: Perimenopause Edition

Today on the Midlife Rise + Thrive podcast is the “What to Expect When You Aren’t Expecting Anything” Perimenopause Edition.

No one hands you a guide or even tells you much about what to expect during perimenopause, and it will probably start before you’re expecting it at all. This episode will teach you how to recognize the signs of perimenopause so that you can take your health into your own hands. 

You don’t have to live with the mystery symptoms that are making you uncomfortable, you can get answers, but first, you have to know what questions to ask. That means getting familiar with your body, hormones, and symptoms. 

Often patients have no idea that their symptoms are perimenopause-related, but I want to change that. Tune in to take control of your health and wellness in midlife. 

Topics We Cover in This Episode: 

  • Surprising symptoms that are actually signs of perimenopause 
  • What 50% of women say about talking to their doctor 
  • How long perimenopause really lasts 
  • One thing most people don’t know about menopause 
  • How knowing your hormonal levels can help you feel happier and healthier 
  • Perimenopause symptoms no one’s ever told you about 
  • The scary truth about what happens if you don’t address your hormones 


You’re not being celebrated enough during this time of your life. No one is throwing you baby showers or empty-nester showers, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve them. Celebrate yourself by reconnecting with your body and seeking the answers you deserve. Your health is worth celebrating.
