My Doctor Said "Your Eggs Are Dying" Instead of Perimenopause

Have you had the moment where you reacted to something so small that the size of what came out of you scared you? And then you spent the rest of the day apologizing to your family, to yourself, wondering if this is who you are now. It isn't.

In this episode of Life Over 40, Jese sits down with holistic health coach and certified menopause coaching specialist Jessica Long for the conversation almost nobody is having out loud. Jessica brings the science of what is actually happening in our bodies after 40, starting with the day her own OBGYN told her "your eggs are dying" instead of saying the word perimenopause. Jese brings the lived experience of being on the other side of the shame loop. Together they say the quiet thing out loud.
