Navigating Perimenopause: Personal Stories and Digital Health Solutions

This season, we’re talking about perimenopause and how technology intersects with this important phase of life. I’ll be sharing my personal experiences, discussing the current technological landscape, and providing insights from my new book, Hormone Harmony, along with a companion Digital Health guide.

Many women, including myself, are navigating perimenopause without adequate preparation or information. We can discuss symptoms among friends, but there’s a lack of formal education on what to expect. It’s surprising how little we know about the changes happening in our bodies, from mood swings to sleep disturbances, and how these changes are often framed as problems rather than a natural part of life.
As we move through this season, you can expect to hear real-life stories from women experiencing perimenopause, discussions about the latest technology, and insights into the financial implications of this stage of life.

Topics include:

  • Defining perimenopause and its impact on women’s lives.
  • The importance of community support and sharing insights through platforms like WhatsApp.
  • My personal experiences of the physical changes that come with perimenopause.
  • Reflections on medical training and the need for better education about perimenopause.
  • Exploring the role of technology in tracking symptoms and enhancing healthcare conversations.

Please join the conversation, share your stories, and explore the resources available to navigate perimenopause with confidence. Remember, this journey is happening whether we’re ready for it or not, and together, we can take control and empower ourselves.
