Episode Summary:** When we think of menopause, hot flashes usually get all the attention. But for many women, the emotional side of perimenopause is what feels most overwhelming. Mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, irritability, and that deep tiredness can leave you wondering if you’re losing yourself. In this episode, Lindsey unpacks what’s really happening behind the emotional rollercoaster. She explains the *endocrine symphony*—how the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries work together—and why shifts in communication between these systems ripple into every part of your body, from brain to gut to mood. You’ll also learn 3 simple pillars of support—physical, emotional, and spiritual—that can help you feel steadier and more like yourself again.
