Pre-perimenopause: Yes, it's a thing

What if your mood swings, wired 2am wake-ups, or feeling “different” had nothing to do with stress or mindset—and everything to do with your hormones quietly shifting behind the scenes?

In this week’s episode of Master Stress with Dr. S, I explore the pre-perimenopause decade—a phase most women don’t even know exists.

It often begins in the mid to late 30s. Periods are still regular. Blood tests look fine. And yet… subtle changes in hormones like progesterone and cortisol can quietly disrupt sleep, energy, and resilience.

🔍 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• The early signs and symptoms of pre-perimenopause (often dismissed as “just stress”)
• Why this decade is a silent but crucial transition for your health and identity
• Practical ways to support your hormones and nervous system now, before burnout hits
• Think of this stage as your body whispering for attention—not yet screaming. When you listen, you give yourself the chance to redesign your life before a bigger crash happens.
