I am 36 and my perimenopause symptoms have started. Night sweats, hot flashes, slow digestion, belly fat and low libido. I eat healthy. exercise but nothing really helps. For the first time my cycle is a bit chaoric too. I will be going to the doctor to discuss possibility of HRT. I have no intention of going through this for 15 smth years. Thank you. I thought I was going nuts

Finally! I love to see the two of you together. I’m post meno and learning all about HRT, but found that Dr Crawford gives the best descriptions of what our hormones SHOULD do in our reproductive years. This has helped me understand what HRT could look like. And of course, bringing in Dr. Haver to give the fine points about peri and post meno is perfect. This is a great collision of two worlds.

Less than two years ago, I had no idea perimenopause even existed—until the YouTube algorithm showed me a video of Dr. Haver talking about how joint pain is one of the symptoms of peri/menopause. You, Dr. Crawford and Dr. Haver, have helped me learn so much and improve my health. Thank you for everything you do for women! 🥰 Great podcast!

7 to 10 YEARS of chaos? At least she didn't sugar coat it, I guess🤦♀️<br>I've just finished watching the full programme, and I wanted to say thank you as it was informative, easy to follow, and enjoyable to listen to you both. It was also lovely to see the passion and genuine interest both of you have for your areas of expertise. Thanks!😊

What would you recommend for someone who has DOR and Stage 4 endometriosis? I’m 31 years old and currently going through IVF, but after this is all done I feel unsure of what to do. To my understanding, endo loves estrogen- so I feel torn between keeping endo quiet while also giving my body what I need. I currently have all the expected symptoms of DOR- insomnia, night sweats, irritability, brain fog, joint pain, stubborn weight gain etc. I’d love to see an episode in this as I can never find the info through my own research.

When Fatigue starts right after ovulation but ends during the days of menstruation but sensory (auditory) sensitivity gets really bad along with overwhelm during all of the menstrual cycle,<br>could this be the start of Perimenopause with 37 or more like PMDD rather than Perimenopause?<br>Any suggestions welcome.<br><br>Thank you for the wonderful interview. 🧠
