Episode 72: You Don’t Need to Suffer in Perimenopause with Mandy LeBlanc

Many women begin to experience changes in their bodies as they enter perimenopause but are often left feeling confused, isolated, and dismissed. Symptoms like irregular periods, mood swings, unexpected weight gain, and unpredictable bleeding can leave us feeling overwhelmed. For many, these symptoms differ from what we expected or heard about, and unfortunately, conventional doctors may offer little support or effective solutions.

In this episode, I'm joined by hormone health expert Mandy LeBlanc, who shares her deep insights and empowering message that perimenopause doesn’t have to be a period of struggle. Drawing on her years of experience working with women, Mandy offers guidance on understanding perimenopause and practical solutions to help ease the transition.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • The early signs Mandy and I noticed as we entered perimenopause.

  • How stress might trigger early onset of perimenopause and the vital role of adrenal health.

  • Why addressing adrenal health should be the first step for women dealing with perimenopause symptoms.

  • The importance of cyclical living at every stage of life, even after your period has stopped, and how tapping into cyclical power can transform your energy management.

  • Mandy’s top nutritional tips to manage perimenopause, including blood sugar balance, protein intake, and the power of not skipping breakfast.

  • Body shame and weight gain during perimenopause—why it happens, how to understand it, and what we can do to support our bodies through this change.
