Feeling off but can't pinpoint why? It might be perimenopause.

In this episode, we sit down with hormone specialist and functional practitioner Becca Chilczenkowski to unpack the misunderstood world of perimenopause. If you're a woman in your late 30s or 40s struggling with weight gain, bloating, fatigue, or mood swings—and not getting real answers from your doctor—this conversation is for you.

We explore the hidden hormonal shifts behind these symptoms, the cost of ignoring them, and the foundational lifestyle changes that actually move the needle. From exercise and nutrition to stress and hormone replacement therapy, Becca shares what she wishes she knew sooner—and how you can avoid the years of confusion and discomfort she endured.

Don’t settle for feeling “off.” Tune in to gain clarity, feel empowered, and take back control of your health!
