Visit In this episode of The Rachel Hollis podcast, she opens up about her personal experience with perimenopause, hormone imbalances, and the physical and emotional changes she began experiencing in her late 30s, emphasizing how little women are taught about their bodies and hormonal health. She discusses symptoms such as mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, heavy periods, and depression, explaining how she initially mistook these changes for a mental health crisis before discovering through blood work that she had estrogen dominance. Throughout the episode, she encourages women to advocate for themselves by seeking doctors who specialize in women’s hormones and functional medicine, tracking their menstrual cycles, reducing stress, and paying closer attention to nutrition, sleep, and supplementation. Ultimately, she frames these symptoms not as something women should silently endure, but as important signals from the body that deserve attention, support, and compassionate care.
