Episode 96 of The Health Exchange Podcast examines the often overlooked realities of perimenopause with guest Rachel Frankenthal, a gynecologic oncology PA-C and menopause-certified practitioner. Dr. Rutland speaks with her about how fluctuating hormones can affect far more than reproductive health, contributing to changes in mood, sleep, memory, body composition, sexual health, and long-term disease risk. The conversation addresses why perimenopause is frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed, how its symptoms can overlap with conditions such as thyroid disorders and iron deficiency, and why women deserve clinicians who listen to their concerns and understand the full impact of hormonal changes. Rachel also speaks on the often-neglected effects of treatment on quality of life, intimacy, and relationships, along with available therapies and the role of lifestyle changes. The episode emphasizes the importance of education, open conversations, and proactive care to help women better understand their bodies and navigate this transition with confidence.
