About Ask Me About My Estrogen

This podcast is a candid, real-life conversation about perimenopause—hosted by two women who are genuinely excited to talk about what so many are silently experiencing. Through personal storytelling, listener questions and comments, and conversations with expert guests in the field, we explore the physical, emotional, and mental shifts that come with this often-overlooked life stage. From hormone changes and weight fluctuations to mood swings, sleep disruption, identity shifts, and the invisible mental load women carry, nothing is off the table. We talk honestly about the difficult parts, the confusing parts, and the moments that make you wonder, “Is this normal?”—because chances are, it is.

   Perimenopause Symptoms: Why Every Woman's Experience Is Different

   Perimenopause doesn’t come with a standard symptom checklist—and that’s exactly the problem. In this episode, Megan and Charlotte break down why two women the same age can have completely different experiences, what the science actually says about fluctuating hormones, and why the symptoms you’re having are valid even if they don’t match anyone else’s. From brain fog and anxiety to the rarer symptoms no one warned you about, this episode is your reminder to stop comparing and start getting the support you need.

   Why Does Perimenopause Cause Joint Pain — and What Actually Helps?

   Joint pain affects over 70% of perimenopausal women, but it is rarely discussed alongside hot flashes. Charlotte and Megan explain the link to estrogen — which regulates inflammation and collagen production — and why declining levels can lead to stiffness, achiness, and slower recovery. They also cover why workouts suddenly feel harder (accelerated muscle loss), and why exercise, especially strength training, is one of the best tools for relief despite feeling counterintuitive. Other key topics: modifying movements rather than avoiding them, prioritizing sleep and recovery, increasing protein intake, and recognizing when joint pain may signal something beyond perimenopause.
