Perimenopause Is an Initiation: Hormones, Healing, and the Truth About Midlife

What if your midlife wasn’t a breakdown, but a biochemical initiation? Today on Treated, Dr. Sara dives into the truth about perimenopause by dispelling the myths, breaking down the science, and reframing this transition as a powerful initiation rather than a decline. She explains what’s really happening with your hormones and how to navigate symptoms like mood swings, insomnia, and heavy cycles with compassion and strategy. From practical tools like cycle tracking, nutrients, botanicals, and bioidentical hormones to her “soft landing plan” for midlife, Dr. Sara offers both medical expertise and soulful perspective. This is an invitation to see perimenopause not as the beginning of the end, but as the beginning of a deeper, wiser chapter. // REFERENCES // Dr. Sara's Perimenopause Survival Guide // KEEP IN TOUCH WITH DR.
