16: Can Herbs Help My Hormones? Natural Solutions for Perimenopause Symptoms with Ashley Rocha

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the supplement aisle, overwhelmed by a sea of mysterious herbs—Black cohosh, Vitex, Ashwagandha, Shatavari—and wondering WTF are these and do they help with perimenopause?, you’re not alone.

This week, I’m joined by Ashley Rocha, trained herbalist and founder of Ladywell, to demystify herbal remedies for perimenopause. We’re talking about natural ways to support hormone balance, reduce hot flashes, sleep better, and stop feeling like a chaotic version of yourself. (Yes, please.)

In this episode, we cover:

✔️ What herbs actually help with perimenopause symptoms

✔️ Common adaptogens like ashwagandha and how they work with your body

✔️ The lowdown on black cohosh, vitex, shatavari, and more

✔️ How to choose high-quality herbal supplements you can trust

✔️ Why lifestyle still matters (you can’t supplement your way out of stress)

✔️ What to expect when you start a hormone-supporting supplement routine

✔️ The truth about magnesium foot spray (yes, it’s a thing)

Whether you’re herbal-curious or just looking for natural ways to feel like yourself again during perimenopause, this episode gives you the clarity—and the confidence—to take the next step.
