Podcast: To Your Health
July 28, 2025
If you’re a millennial woman, perimenopause isn’t just coming—it may already be here. That might feel hard to believe. Aren’t we too young for that?! Lauren A. Tetenbaum, LCSW, JD, PMH-C thought the same thing. At 39, she realized she knew almost nothing about what was happening with her body—and when she started asking around, her friends didn’t either. Her search for answers led her to write 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦—and to join me on this week’s episode of the 𝘛𝘰 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 podcast for a refreshingly real conversation.
We talked about:
-The signs of perimenopause that have nothing to do with your period
-Why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed
-How to advocate for yourself when doctors brush you off
-And why menopause needs a serious rebrand
This episode is validating, practical, and even funny at times—and it’s a conversation more women need to be hearing. If you’re in your 30s or 40s and starting to wonder what’s happening in your body, this one’s for you!
