There’s a phase of womanhood that no one really names. You’re not a teenager, but you’re not “in menopause.” But you know something feels different. Your cycle isn’t completely gone, but it’s not predictable. You can’t handle things the way you used to be able to. You’re high-functioning,  & getting everything done but wondering why half the month feels harder than it should.

And instead of answers? You get told it’s stress. Or PMS. Or maybe you’re told it’s just what happens when you get older.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Keila Roesner, Naturopathic Doctor to talk about the hormonal grey zone: the 20-year stretch of life that no one prepared us for. 

We unpack:

  •  Why your menstrual cycle is more than just a period, it’s a vital sign!
  • How your hormone respond to your environment at every cycle
  •  The difference between PMS, PMDD, and perimenopause
  •  What’s actually happening with estrogen, progesterone, serotonin, and mood, and why things just don’t feel the same
  •  Why cutting carbs and overtraining might be making things worse
  •  And how to support your hormones without falling into the estrogen-detox, Dutch-test spiral
