LMAO - Laughing My Age Off

You're Not Alone - Breaking the Silence on Perimenopause

Erika Kelly

Perimenopause can feel overwhelming—hot flashes, brain fog, sleepless nights, and doctors who don’t have the answers. But what if you had a trusted guide to help you navigate it all?

Millions of women suffer in silence through perimenopause and menopause, battling symptoms that disrupt their sleep, mental clarity, and confidence—often without the support they need.

Meet my guest, Carin Luna-Ostaseski, founder of Hot or Just Me?  and featured in Time magazine, who has been there. Inspired by her own struggles, she created a go-to resource hub to empower women with expert advice, community, and solutions that actually work.

In this episode, we uncover:
✅ The shocking impact of sleep loss on aging and brain health
✅ Simple self-care rituals that lower stress and boost resilience
✅ How to sharpen mental focus and reclaim energy in midlife
✅ The truth about low libido, hormones, and what doctors aren’t telling you
✅ How to find menopause-literate doctors and take control of your health
