Is perimenopause more than just hot flashes and mood swings? Have you ever felt like you're unraveling as your body shifts, grappling with brain fog, relentless fatigue, and even unexpected rages that leave you reeling with guilt? Join Dr. Geri Lynn Utter with her hilarious and relatable friends, Sue and Rae, as they discuss the messy realities of perimenopause, hysterectomies, libido lows, and the daily battle against the urge to commit ”utter nonsense” in the face of it all. In this no-holds-barred conversation, they openly discuss the shocking lack of awareness surrounding perimenopause, the frustrating experience of self-advocacy with OB/GYNs, and the bewildering array of symptoms that go far beyond the stereotypical hot flash. They candidly explore the challenges of balancing their own health with the demands of raising active kids, managing households, and maintaining relationships, acknowledging the sheer exhaustion that modern life layers on top of hormonal shifts. 

Discover the importance of journaling your symptoms, the potential benefits of resources like The Menopause Society (menopause.org), and the comforting reminder that you are absolutely not alone in this bewildering journey. If you've ever felt blindsided by the changes in your body and wondered, ”What the honest f**k is going on?”, then prepare to feel seen, heard, and maybe even a little less insane, because in this episode, the raw, unfiltered truth of navigating womanhood in midlife is laid bare, proving that while it might be utter nonsense, facing it together makes all the difference.
