Welcome to the untold.

Take a deep breath, take the higher road.

That's what they always say,

as if they know the way they won't take it from me.

But don't ever doubt yourself as life in just a dream

You made your own so kick and scream

The people will act with a never-ending force

You never had the chance so what you're waiting for

The day has come my, because this is one.

Hey guys, and welcome back to The Nurses Report on America Out Loud.

I'm your host, Ashley Caputo, registered nurse and functional medicine practitioner.

I am also founder of rooted wellness, functional health.

I created that business to help women specifically

35 and up experiencing symptoms with menopause, perimenopause, and help you just bring some

balance and restore balance back into your life. I bring that up today because that is the topic we are diving into

perimenopause because it doesn't get talked about the way that it should. And honestly, this

subject really gets me fired up and it's one of the reasons why I focused on this with my own functional medicine business.

Women in their 30s and 40s, they walk around exhausted, anxious, overstimulated, gaining weight,

not sleeping, feeling completely unlike themselves.

And then going to the doctor and being told, your labs are normal, you're just stressed.

Maybe you need an antidepressant.

Here's a little sleeping pill to help.
