One of the MOST uncomfortable symptoms that every woman will experience (at some time or another) are…hot flashes.


Both hot flashes and night sweats are super frustrating and unpredictable. Whether you’ve felt those overwhelming waves of heat during the day, or your sleep has been disrupted due to being drenched in sweat, it’s not fun!

I’m breaking down what’s *really* going on when you experience a hot flash, hormonal shifts and imbalances that lead to these during perimenopause, how lifestyle adjustments, supplements, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help, and more.


While hot flashes and night sweats are very common, they don’t have to be a ‘normal’ part of your life, either. These are a symptom of something deeper that is out of balance within your body.
