Episode 8: Understanding Menopause-What No One Told Us
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week we’re joined by a very special guest Dr. Marcelle Pignanelli a compassionate physician who helps women navigate one of the most misunderstood stages of our lives: perimenopause and menopause. Together, we dive deep into what really happens to our bodies and minds during this transition — the hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, and yes, even vaginal dryness and low libido — but also the emotional side no one prepares us for.
We talk about the importance of therapy, movement, nutrition, and building a strong support system. Our guest breaks down what’s actually happening hormonally, when to see your doctor, and how to know if what you’re feeling is “just your cycle” or a sign of perimenopause.
It’s real, raw, and deeply human — filled with laughter, honesty, and a lot of love. Whether you’re already in the thick of it, just starting to notice changes, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you feel seen, understood, and empowered.
