The information we've been given about perimenopause is basic at best, horrendously incomplete and misleading at it's worst.
We've been led to believe we need to endure a checklist of symptoms, and we should seek support to survive this stage of our life.
In this episode I talk with Bria Gadd, holistic health coach, functional diagnostic practitioner, and host of the podcast, 'The Period Whisperer', to share a different, empowering, informative message about what happens to our brain, body and heart in perimenopause.
Bria clearly and cleverly provides an easy to understand outline of changes we can expect, relatable analogies, and what you can do to embrace the opportunities and gifts this period of life presents.
