Why Perimenopause Is Taking Over and How to Use It to Transform Your Midlife | Jamie Glowacki
Description
Sarah hosts Jamie Glowacki on the Evolving Wellness Podcast to discuss how Jamie’s background as a social worker led to her potty-training work, including the origin and growth of her “Oh Crap Potty Training” book and classes. They explore how parenting pressures and overwhelming information have intensified for modern moms, shifting Jamie’s focus toward supporting mothers’ well-being. The conversation turns to aging, perimenopause, and menopause, with Jamie describing a symptom-free transition and arguing that perimenopause can be a “report card” on health, emphasizing strength training, adequate dietary fat, and reducing endocrine disruptors. They also critique trendy, scripted health messaging—especially around HRT and telehealth—while acknowledging HRT can help some women. Additional topics include circadian eating, avoiding constant snacking, balancing seasonal/local foods, and simplifying family life to reduce stress.
