Your Perimenopause Questions Answered: Food, Weight, HRT + More

Perimenopause can leave you with a lot of questions very quickly. Why is the scale suddenly not moving? Should you still be fasting? What should you actually be eating now? What do you do if hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, or irregular cycles are already showing up in your 40s? And how much of this is something you can actually influence? In this episode of The Ovary Club, I am answering four real questions women sent me about navigating that in-between stage when your body starts responding differently and you are trying to figure out what needs to change. We get into how I personally structure my meals in perimenopause, how I think about insulin resistance and strength training, what emerging research around ovarian aging could mean for women, where HRT may fit, and what I would look at before simply telling a woman in midlife to eat less. What’s Discussed: Q&A 1 | 0:56 What should I eat in perimenopause if I have insulin resistance and strength train? Q&A 2 | 16:12 Could menopause eventually become optional? Q&A 3 | 22:45 What can women 45+ do when hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and irregular periods are already showing up? Q&A 4 | 28:16 Why will the scale not budge at 47 even when I walk daily and eat clean? Want More of Your Questions Answered? I had way more perimenopause questions than I could fit into one public episode, so I kept going. The full Q&A is available exclusively inside The Ovary Club Insiders, where I answer more of your questions about caffeine, dietary fat, legumes and the bean protocol, melatonin and more.
