Podcast Overview

The average woman waits seven years for a correct perimenopause diagnosis. Seven years of real symptoms dismissed as stress, depression, or just getting older. This podcast exists to change that. "Perimenopause, Unfiltered" is hosted by Sascha, who spent 5-7 years undiagnosed and quit her job before she figured it out. Real talk about hormones, research, treatment options, and the conversations perimenopause makes harder. With your doctor, with the people you love. No fluff, no fear... Just the truth. @project_me_us / www. myproject-me.com

#20 - When blood sugar meets perimenopause - with Melissa Slemp

Melissa Slemp has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 40 years. For most of that time, no one ever connected her blood sugar chaos to her hormones. Melissa is the author of Highs, Lows, and Hormones, host of the podcast Type 1 in Midlife and the founder of Abundant Health with Melissa, where she works with women navigating perimenopause and menopause alongside Type 1 Diabetes.We talk about what happens when two massive, under-researched areas of women's health (diabetes and menopause) collide and why almost nobody is trained to treat them together.<ul><li>Melissa's 40+ years with type 1 diabetes and why it took her decades to realize perimenopause was driving her blood sugar swings;</li><li>The gap between endocrinology and hormone therapy and why so many doctors have no framework for the overlap;</li><li>How estrogen and progesterone actually affect insulin sensitivity, phase by phase, and why this matters even if you don't have diabetes;</li><li>What changed for Melissa once hormone therapy entered the picture (glucose needs, energy, sleep, the whole picture);</li><li>Why "control" is the wrong word for managing blood sugar and what shifting to "influence" does for your mindset;</li><li>The biggest myth still keeping women from hormone therapy;</li><li>Why symptom tracking might be the single most useful thing you're not doing;</li><li>What postmenopause actually looks like once things settle.</li></ul> Book: <a href="https://www.abundanthealthwithmelissa.com/book" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Highs, Lows, and Hormones</a>Podcast: <a href="https://www.abundanthealthwithmelissa.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Type 1 in Midlife</a>Coaching: <a href="https://www.abundanthealthwithmelissa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Abundant Health with Melissa</a>----Connect with Sascha: Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/project_me_us">⁠@project_me_us⁠</a> or check my website: <a href="www.myproject-me.com">⁠myproject-me.com⁠</a>Enjoyed this episode?

#19 - Walk in ready, part 3 of 3: The truth about HRT

In 2002 a study made global headlines: "HRT causes breast cancer". Doctors stopped prescribing it overnight, women stopped asking for it. And an entire generation made decisions about their health based on headlines that fundamentally misrepresented what that study actually found.That study is still shaping the conversation in doctor's offices today.In this episode Sascha breaks down exactly what the WHI study found, what was wrong with it, and where the current scientific consensus sits. Because fear based on a 2002 headline is keeping too many women from having a conversation they deserve to have.In this episode:<ul><li>What the Women's Health Initiative study actually was, who was in it, and what it was designed to find</li><li>Why the average age of 63 in the study matters enormously for how we interpret the results</li><li>The difference between synthetic hormones and body identical hormones</li><li>The difference between oral and transdermal HRT and why delivery method matters</li><li>The timing hypothesis and the window of opportunity</li><li>What the E3N study found about body identical progesterone and breast cancer risk</li><li>The actual increased breast cancer risk in the study and what the numbers really mean</li><li>The current position of major international menopause societies on HRT</li><li>What to know before your next HRT conversation</li></ul>Ready to have this conversation with your doctor?Knowing the research is the foundation.
