About this listen

Perimenopause can feel like a slow unraveling. You’re waking up at 3 a.m. Your anxiety feels new. Your periods are changing. Your skin, your sleep, your stress tolerance — all different. And yet, you’re told your labs are “normal.” In this episode of The SEAM Podcast, Amy Cohen Epstein sits down with naturopathic physician Dr. Gusty Swift to talk honestly about midlife hormone shifts and why so many women feel dismissed during this stage of life. Instead of prescribing for symptoms alone, Dr. Swift explains her root-cause approach — looking at the thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries as an interconnected system, and addressing the nervous system as a key driver of perimenopausal change.
