Summary

If you’ve said the word perimenopause anywhere near your phone lately, you’re probably being served a firehose of hormone hackers, estrogen patch evangelists, and protein-powder miracle cures. I hate most of these influencers and their content. But I also love that we’re finally talking about what’s happening to our bodies. In this episode, I talk to OB-GYN Dr. Kim Einhorn founder of The Menopause Collective about all the stuff we were never taught in health class: murder-scene periods, 3 a.m. night sweats, hormone therapy, and how to actually prepare for this next stage of life. We get into why the healthcare system is failing us, what questions to ask your doctor, and how to tell if you’re getting the runaround. It’s smart, messy, deeply personal and the first in a series of honest conversations about perimenopause. Follow Dr. Kim Einhorn on Instagram here. Learn more about the Menopause Collective here.
