135: How to Feel Better in Perimenopause - REPLAY (Dr Lara Briden)
*Today we’re actually replaying Dr Lara Briden's first episode with us, How to Feel Better in Perimenopause, *because it’s the most popular episode we’ve ever shared, listened over 3500 times, and shared widely, and because we receive more questions about perimenopause than anything else.
*In the conversation Lara demystifies this major transition that happens in our bodies in the years that lead up to menopause, *when many people are left wondering if they’re going crazy, experience symptoms which can seem to come out of nowhere; including anxiety, depression, irregular cycles, insomnia, night sweats, hot flushes, migraines and more.
*Lara is a naturopathic doctor *and the author of The Hormone Repair Manual, Every Woman's Guide to Healthy Hormones After 40, a practical guide to navigating the change of perimenopause and relieve symptoms with natural treatments such as diet, nutritional supplements, and bioidentical hormone therapy.
*We explore:*
* *The four phases of perimenopause *and how to navigate them, including the ‘waiting room’ where your periods are very irregular, but you haven’t yet reached the 12 month pint which defines the beginning of menopause.
* *The science behind this life transition* and the hormonal events that can drive symptoms like irregular / heavier cycles, sleep disturbance and hot flushes.
* Lara's *rescue prescription for peri-menopause *and how it can help you to look after your whole being, and especially your brain and nervous system - Lara assures us that there is always a way to feel better.
