    The Medical System Is FAILING Women in Midlife

    You’ve been told your blood tests are normal. That it’s stress or it’s aging. But what if the real reason you feel exhausted, anxious, and unlike yourself is perimenopause and it’s being completely missed?In this episode, Dr. Shauna Watts sits down with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, a board-certified OB/GYN, Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, Certified Menopause Provider and the founder of Mary Claire Wellness, to break down how perimenopause is actually diagnosed, why so many women are misdiagnosed, and what’s really happening with your hormones in midlife.This conversation goes far beyond common menopause symptoms. It explains why perimenopause symptoms can show up years before menopause, why standard hormone blood tests often fail, and how declining estrogen impacts your brain, metabolism, sleep, and overall health.This is the episode to share with any woman who’s been told “everything looks fine” but knows something isn’t right.What we cover in this episode:• Why perimenopause symptoms are unpredictable and why hormone fluctuations create chaos in the body• Why blood tests are not reliable for diagnosing perimenopause and what doctors should look at instead• The importance of listening to symptoms and why women are often dismissed in healthcare• Lesser-known perimenopause symptoms like vertigo, tinnitus, joint pain, anxiety, and brain fog• The truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and how the Women’s Health Initiative changed menopause care• Why HRT risks were overstated and why many women are still not being offered treatment• The difference between birth control and hormone therapy in perimenopause treatment• What causes weight gain in perimenopause, including insulin resistance and visceral fat• Why sleep disruption is one of the earliest and most important symptoms to addressPerimenopause is not just about hot flashes or missed periods.

    Why You're So Tired in Perimenopause (And What to Do About It)

    If you are eating well, exercising, cutting alcohol, doing everything right, and your body is still not cooperating, this episode is the one you have been waiting for. Dr. Shauna Watts sits down with Dr. Mariza Snyder, functional practitioner and hormone specialist, for one of the most clinically grounded conversations about what perimenopause is actually doing to your body. Your brain, your metabolism, your stress response, your gut, your immune system. All of it. This is the episode to send to every woman in your life who has been told her symptoms are just stress, just aging, or just life. What is covered in this episode: ➡️ Why perimenopause symptoms are so unpredictable, and why the chaos is completely physiological, not psychological ➡️ What declining estrogen and progesterone are doing to your insulin sensitivity, and why eating less and moving more has stopped working ➡️ The cortisol connection: why chronic stress and declining hormones are a compounding combination that makes every symptom louder ➡️ What "tired but wired" actually means physiologically ➡️ The mitochondria piece: why perimenopause fatigue is not ordinary tiredness, it is cellular, and what that means for your energy ➡️ Why so many women are gaining visceral fat despite doing everything right, and what the research actually says about metabolism in midlife ➡️ Dr Marisa's most practical daily habits for rebuilding energy, including her take on electrolyte water ➡️ Why addressing your nervous system is not a wellness add-on. It is a clinical priority. If this episode made something click for you, send it to one woman in your life who keeps saying she just does not feel like herself anymore. She probably has not had anyone explain it to her like this. And if you found it useful, leave a review so more women can find the show. Dr. Mariza is coming back for part two, where the conversation goes deep on food, gut health, protein, and how to eat in a way that actually supports your midlife body. You will not want to miss it.

    Perimenopause Q&A: Symptoms, HRT, Misdiagnosis, Vaginal Health and Pelvic Floor

    If you have ever been handed antidepressants when what you actually needed was a hormone check, this episode is the conversation you should have had in that doctor's office. This is Part 2 of the live Q&A event hosted by Dr Shaun Watts where a panel of experts answered the questions about perimenopause that women are rarely given time to ask. If you have not listened to Part 1 yet, head back first. It covers the basics, mental health, sexual health, pelvic health, GLP-1s, and the ADHD overlap. This episode picks up with the room-wide questions that got the most honest answers of the afternoon. What is covered in this episode: • The truth about the "5-year HRT rule" (and the 10-year one): where it came from and why it is completely outdated • Perimenopause misdiagnosis: why depression and anxiety are the most commonly missed diagnoses, and how to push back • Thyroid dysfunction and B12 deficiency: the two conditions that mimic almost every perimenopause symptom and are frequently missed • A head-to-toe walkthrough of 42+ perimenopause symptoms, from hair thinning and tinnitus to joint pain, rage, and insomnia • Vaginal hormones explained: what they are, who they are for, and why every woman can benefit • The monthly vulva check: a simple shower routine that could help you catch changes early and advocate for yourself If this episode made you feel seen, send it to one woman in your life who needs to hear it. She might not have the words for what she is going through yet, but this might help her find them. And if you found it useful, leave a review so more women can find the show.

    Struggling to sleep through the night in perimenopause? Many women do and it’s not just stress or lifestyle. In this episode of the All About You Podcast, Dr. Shauna Watts unpacks the hormonal reasons behind disrupted sleep and shares strategies that actually work. Sleep disruption is one of the most common and overlooked symptoms of perimenopause.

    Snoring? Jaw tension? Waking up exhausted even after a full night in bed? Most women are told these are just part of getting older or something to “push through.” But what if the real issue isn’t just hormones, it’s your airway? In this episode, Dr. Shauna Watts sits down with integrative dentist Dr. Martina Lavery to unpack a piece of the midlife health puzzle that’s often missed: the role your mouth, jaw, and breathing play in sleep quality.

Here’s what else you’ll learn: - Why snoring often shows up or worsens in midlife - How hormonal changes affect your airway and breathing - The difference between snoring and sleep apnea - Why so many women feel embarrassed talking about snoring - What actually helps, from sleep studies to dental devices - Why CPAP is not the only option - How jaw position impacts your ability to breathe at night - The signs your dentist might notice before you do - The truth about trends like mouth taping This conversation connects the dots between snoring, sleep-disordered breathing, jaw tension, and oral health.

    When Sex Feels Hard in Midlife: What Couples Need to Know

    If desire and closeness are shifting in your relationship during perimenopause, this episode breaks down exactly why it happens, what couples can do, and how to stay connected without pressure, guilt, or shame. In this episode of All About You, Dr. Shauna Watts sits down with Senior Clinical Psychologist and Certified Gottman Therapist, Natalie King, to explore how perimenopause impacts intimacy, desire, and emotional connection in midlife relationships.

Key topics covered in this episode include: Understanding spontaneous vs. responsive desire and how it changes in perimenopausePractical ways to communicate about sex and intimacy without creating pressureWhy emotional connection is essential for sexual satisfactionHow to maintain closeness even when sex isn’t possibleStrategies to support partners and navigate guilt or fearGradual approaches for couples overcoming painful sex or low libidoManaging relationship changes while preserving connection and mutual understanding Whether you’re experiencing changes in desire, struggling with guilt, or simply want to understand how to maintain closeness in midlife, this episode provides practical guidance, supportive insights, and reassurance that you’re not alone.

    Why So Many Women Feel “Off” in Midlife (Even With Normal Tests)

    Your blood tests say everything is “normal”. So why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and unlike yourself? Hormonal changes in midlife often begin long before anything obvious appears in lab results. Many women experience fatigue, brain fog, sleep disruption, and metabolic changes, yet are reassured that everything looks normal. In this episode of All About You, Dr Shauna Watts continues her conversation with menopause specialist Dr. Catherine Johnson to explore why hormone health cannot be understood through a single blood test. They discuss the relationship between hormones, thyroid function, metabolism, and energy, and why symptoms can appear even when results fall within standard ranges. The conversation also highlights why hormones need to be viewed as an interconnected system and why a broader approach can help women better understand what their bodies are experiencing during midlife. What You’ll Learn • Why you can still feel unwell even when blood tests are “normal” • What hormone optimisation means in midlife • How thyroid function influences energy, metabolism, and mood • Why hormones work as a connected system in the body • Why midlife symptoms are often misunderstood or dismissed Learn more about the 16 week Rediscover You program here: 🔗https://youbydrshaunawatts.com.au/16-week-rediscover-you-menopause-program/ Leave a Voice Note Have a question about perimenopause, brain fog, anxiety, or midlife confidence?
