It’s Not Just Hormones: The Real Root Causes of Perimenopause Symptoms

You’re tired, foggy, anxious, and not sleeping—and someone tells you it’s just “hormones.” But what if that’s only part of the story?

In this episode of Reclaim the Pause, we’re digging deeper into why perimenopause symptoms feel so unpredictable, intense, and isolating. It’s not just a hormone drop—it’s a breakdown in your body’s internal communication system. I’ll walk you through the five key players in the endocrine symphony (the HPTAO axis), the functional medicine view of root causes, and the powerful shifts you can make starting today.

Whether you're newly navigating perimenopause or have been silently struggling for years, this episode will help you understand your body with more clarity, compassion, and hope.

🎧 You’ll learn:

• What functional medicine looks for beyond estrogen
• How stress, trauma, gut health, and liver function play a role
• Why your mindset and nervous system are part of the solution
• Simple starting points to restore balance and resilience
