    The Wild Ride of Perimenopause This episode explores the transitional phase leading up to menopause, explaining how perimenopause can feel like "puberty in reverse" with its unpredictable symptoms. Julia covers the hormonal fluctuations that cause irregular periods, sleep disruption, mood swings, anxiety, hot flashes, weight gain, and cognitive changes. Real women share their experiences with these symptoms, from sudden night wakings to panic attacks in grocery stores. The episode emphasizes that perimenopause symptoms can be inconsistent and unpredictable, often clustering around menstrual cycles. Julia provides practical strategies for managing symptoms including sleep hygiene, stress management, exercise, nutrition, and the importance of social support, while reassuring listeners that this challenging but temporary phase eventually leads to postmenopause stability.
