    Could your lingering symptoms be perimenopause or the symptoms of accidental gluten exposure? Today, I reveal the often-missed signs and delve into the overlap between these two conditions, based on my own journey through the bewildering maze of perimenopause. From sudden dry skin to unexplained fatigue, we unpack the confusing array of symptoms that could either point to the onset of perimenopause or the aftermath of accidental gluten ingestion.

    This episode promises to empower you with the knowledge to better understand your body and recognize when you're entering this significant life phase.

    Join me as we demystify perimenopause, a term that’s been gaining attention but still remains shrouded in misconceptions. I break down what perimenopause really means, how it differs from menopause and post-menopause, and why those in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s need to be aware of it.

    I'll share practical tips on maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring adequate sleep, and the critical role of strength training. Whether you’ve been brushed off by doctors or are just starting to notice changes, this episode offers essential insights and support to help you navigate this transformative period with confidence.
