Perimenopause is having a moment. Despite what you see on social media, not every symptom you experience in your late 30s or early 40s is automatically due to perimenopause. Erin gets into the four areas she’s been personally focused on for the past few years: mindset, muscles and metabolic health, labs, and inner work. She also talks about why cardiovascular health needs to become a much bigger part of the peri conversation and why getting your thyroid checked is not a one-and-done situation.Consider this your no fear mongering take on perimenopause with plenty of tough love, a little sacred rage, and a reminder that your body is not a liability to be managed.P.S.
