Did you know that perimenopause can manifest beyond the common symptoms we know like hot flashes? To pique my curiosity about what you are experiencing when you detect you're in perimenopause, I ran a poll and the answers are nothing short of surprising. When estrogen and progesterone start shifting in perimenopause, the effects don't stay neatly in one place. They show up in other parts of your body often all at once, often mistaken as another symptom of another health condition. In the new episode of Hello Hormones, I will break down the seven most surprising symptoms women reported in my recent poll, why they're happening beneath the surface, and what you can actually do about each one. Because when you finally understand what's happening, it stops feeling like something is wrong with you and starts feeling like something you can actually work with.
