  • 98. Why Piecing Your Health Together Isn't Working in Perimenopause
    Feb 18 2026

    Perimenopause isn't the phase of life where more podcasts, Instagram advice, or short programs create lasting change. When hormones, stress tolerance, metabolism, sleep, and the nervous system are all shifting at once, information alone isn't enough.

    In this episode, I explain why piecemealing your health keeps you stuck in midlife and why strategy and ongoing guidance are the missing pieces for real symptom improvement.

    You'll learn:

    • Why consuming more health information often worsens confusion in perimenopause

    • How multiple systems shifting at once changes what actually works after 40

    • The difference between education and guidance and why it matters in midlife

    • Why The Perimenopause Method exists and who it's designed to support

  • 97. Heavy Periods, Fibroids & Ovarian Cysts After 40: What Every Woman Needs to Know
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode, Claudia breaks down why heavy bleeding, fibroids, and ovarian cysts become so common in perimenopause – and what's really driving them beneath the surface.

    You'll learn how low progesterone, poor estrogen metabolism, mineral imbalances, gut health, and improperly managed HRT can all contribute, and why monitoring matters when symptoms persist.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why low progesterone and unopposed estrogen drive heavy periods and fibroid growth

    • How HRT dosing and endometrial lining impact bleeding and clotting

    • The role of minerals, detox pathways, and daily bowel movements in hormone clearance

    • When cysts are normal and when to investigate further

  • 96. Should You Get HRT or Peptides from an Online Telehealth Company?
    Feb 4 2026

    More women are turning to online telehealth companies for hormones, peptides, and thyroid support - and for good reason. These platforms have made care more accessible and more empowering than ever. But access doesn't always equal personalization.

    In this episode, we explore when telehealth hormone clinics can be a great fit, where their limitations lie, and how to know whether you need simple support or a more strategic approach in perimenopause.

    You'll learn:

    • Why telehealth HRT and peptide clinics are rapidly growing
    • What these companies do well (and who they're ideal for)
    • Where protocol-based care can fall short in complex midlife cases
    • How hormones, minerals, thyroid, stress, and metabolism are interconnected
    • How to decide between telehealth or personalized functional care
