    6 Signs of Perimenopause Every Woman Over 40 Should Know

    Perimenopause symptoms can look very different than most women expect. For women over 40, the signs of perimenopause often show up long before menopause, missed periods, or classic hot flashes. Many women experience changes across their nervous system, metabolism, sleep, mood, heart, and body without realizing these symptoms can be connected to perimenopause. In this episode, I walk through six common signs of perimenopause and explain why these changes can feel scattered, subtle, and hard to recognize at first. Understanding how hormone fluctuations affect multiple systems helps you stop blaming yourself and start recognizing patterns. I’m a physician assistant, and like many clinicians, I wasn’t trained to recognize early perimenopause this way. This conversation is meant to give you clarity, language, and a framework for what your body may be doing during this transition.

    The First Sign of Perimenopause No One Warns You About

    Perimenopause symptoms often begin quietly and long before missed periods or classic hot flashes. Many women over 40 describe it the same way: “I don’t feel like myself,” without realizing this can be an early sign of perimenopause. That feeling is real. It’s common. And it’s often the first clue that your body is moving through a hormonal transition no one prepared you for. Women I talk to every day describe subtle but disruptive changes like increased irritability, anxiety without a clear cause, brain fog, poor sleep, fatigue, hot or flushed surges, weight gain around the middle, and a sudden loss of libido. These symptoms don’t always appear all at once, and they don’t always seem connected, which is why so many women feel confused or blame themselves. This conversation is meant to help you recognize patterns, understand why these changes are physiologic, not personal, and feel more grounded in what your body is doing during this season.

    6 Food Pillars to fight Perimenopause Weight Gain & Boost Energy

    Perimenopause nutrition: If you are eating clean but still struggling with weight gain, cravings, bloating, and fatigue, this video breaks down what to eat during perimenopause to stabilize hormones, calm the nervous system, and support metabolism after 40. If you feel like the nutrition rules that worked in your 20s and 30s suddenly stopped working, you are not imagining it. Perimenopause changes how your body responds to food, stress, blood sugar, and inflammation. This is not a discipline problem. It is a physiologic shift. In this video, I walk you through the foundational nutrition changes that help women in perimenopause reduce belly fat, improve energy, and feel more stable again without restriction or extreme dieting. This approach is not about eating less or working harder. It is about creating stability in a hormonally sensitive body so your metabolism can stop fighting you. If digestion, food tolerance, or energy changed after 40, leave a comment and let me know. You are not alone.

    Perimenopause Symptoms Explained: Why Anxiety, Overwhelm & Reactivity Get Worse After 40

    Perimenopause symptoms and menopause symptoms often show up as anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional reactivity in women over 40. This video explains why these symptoms are not a personal failure, but a nervous system shift driven by hormonal changes. Most conversations about perimenopause and menopause focus only on estrogen and progesterone levels. What’s often missed is how these hormones directly affect your brain’s stress response, emotional regulation, and window of tolerance. In this video, you’ll learn • Why your stress buffer feels smaller than it used to • How perimenopause symptoms can look like anxiety or burnout • The role estrogen and progesterone play in nervous system regulation • Why “just relax” advice does not work in midlife • Practical ways to support your nervous system during perimenopause If you’ve been wondering why you can’t handle things like you used to, this is not a mindset failure. It’s a biological transition that requires a new operating system. If you want guidance, support, and a clear roadmap through perimenopause, join the Perimenopause Coaching Waitlist below. 👉 Join the waitlist here: https://waitlist.embrmornings.com/ You are not broken.

    Your Heart Palpitations Might Be Perimenopause, Not Stress

    Waking up at 3:00 AM with a racing heart can be terrifying. If your tests are normal but you are told it is “just anxiety,” this video explains how perimenopause can cause heart palpitations, nighttime panic symptoms, and a hypersensitive nervous system even when you are not stressed. In this video, I explain the biological reason heart palpitations happen during perimenopause, how estrogen and progesterone fluctuations affect the autonomic nervous system, and why these symptoms are often misdiagnosed as anxiety or panic disorder. If you have felt dismissed, gaslit, or confused by symptoms that feel physical and very real, this conversation will help you understand what is actually happening in your body. This video is for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife hormonal changes who want clarity, validation, and better language to advocate for themselves in medical settings. If this helped you feel less alone, like the video so more women can find it, and share it with someone who has been told “everything looks normal” but still doesn’t feel okay. 👉 Want support as you navigate perimenopause?
