      The truth is, perimenopause isn’t happening to you—it’s happening for you. It’s your body’s way of inviting you to let go of what’s no longer aligned and step into a new version of yourself—wiser, braver, and more unapologetic than ever. Yes, it’s chaotic, messy, and might involve a few rage-cries in your car. But beneath the surface, it’s a season of transformation—a full-blown life remodel where your body, mind, and soul are recalibrating to align with who you truly are.

      Estrogen is an essential hormone that keeps your body running smoothly, but when it’s out of balance, things can get messy—fast.

Today on the podcast we are diving into all things about estrogen dominance.
 
      
      Most women were never taught that ovulation is the key to balanced hormones, energy, metabolism, and long-term health.
