667. Why Perimenopause Exposes Everything Your Body Can No Longer Carry

Perimenopause can change everything from your energy and sleep to your metabolism, hormones, and libido, but the answer isn’t always another supplement or protocol. In this episode, I’m joined by Bria Gadd, the Period Whisperer, to talk about what’s happening in the body during this transition and why so many women feel like their old strategies suddenly stop working.

We talk about Bria’s “health debt” concept, building the right foundation before adding hormones or peptides, the role of progesterone, nutrition, fasting, strength training, and how to know when it’s time to look deeper. It’s a practical conversation about working with your body instead of constantly trying to push through it.

What you’ll learn:

• Why your old strategies may suddenly stop working
• The connection between perimenopause and “health debt”
• What to prioritize before hormones or peptides
• Where progesterone fits into the conversation
• Why more exercise isn’t always the answer
• How nutrition needs can shift in midlife
• When testing can help you stop guessing

If you’re in the middle of perimenopause and wondering why your body suddenly seems to be responding differently, this conversation will help you think about what to address first — and what may not be worth adding yet.
