In this weeks deeply personal episode of The Female Blueprint Podcast, Dr. Courtney sits down with Dr. Noor, Board-Certified Family Physician and founder of Lifestyles by Noor, to talk about what every woman deserves to know about menopause, perimenopause, and midlife wellness.

Dr. Noor shares her own powerful story from feeling “crazy” while battling brain fog, irritability, fatigue, and insomnia, to realizing she was actually in perimenopause.

That moment changed her life and her career, inspiring her to become a menopause specialist and advocate for women’s health.

Together, they unpack the real science of menopause, exploring what’s actually happening to your hormones, metabolism, and stress response, and why women are so often dismissed or misdiagnosed in this season of life.

You’ll learn:

• What perimenopause and menopause really look like (and how early they can begin)
  

• The biological basis of hormonal changes and why every woman’s experience is unique
  

• How stress, sleep, and lifestyle impact hormonal balance and midlife symptoms
  

• The truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bioidentical options
  

• Why body image and aging narratives need a major rewrite
  

• How to take a holistic, evidence-based approach that goes far beyond prescriptions
  

This conversation is equal parts educational and empowering, challenging outdated beliefs about aging while giving women the tools and confidence to reclaim their health, identity, and strength in midlife.
