Episode Details

Perimenopause is what nobody warned you about. Here are the 10 things I wish someone had told me — including the peptide your doctor probably won't mention.

Want the labs I run, the doses I take, and the doctors I trust? That conversation lives in The Vanity Club.

Perimenopause hit me and my doctor told me my levels were "fine" for five years. They weren't. This episode is everything I wish I'd known before I started hormones two years ago — the five I take every day, the practices that keep them working, and the one peptide your doctor won't bring up unless you push. Plus the truth nobody tells you: hormones aren't a magic pill. They only work if you use them right.

In this episode I'm telling you:

• The morning hormone move that took my face from gray to lit-up in three weeks
• The bedtime hormone that gave me my sleep back (and why no concealer fakes it)
• The 4 AM moment my dialed protocol quit on me — and what I had to do next
• The hormone most doctors won't prescribe unless you fight for it (and why you should)
• The hormone insert nobody films because it sounds clinical (and the glow it actually gives you)
• The off-label hormone move that turned my face from tired to lit in three weeks
• The peptide almost nobody in beauty is naming on camera
• The 3 labs that explain why you feel like shit even when your bloodwork says "fine"
• The real reason I bother with any of this — and why the alternative is unacceptable

This one's for every woman who's been told her hormones are "fine for her age" and knew goddamn well they weren't.
