• One Minute I Was Thriving, The Next I Was in Tears: What No One Tells You About Perimenopause | Kathryn Carter

  What do you do when you’re high-functioning on the outside but falling apart inside? In this episode, I’m joined by Kathryn Carter, whose story stopped me in my tracks. She was leading teams, raising a family, traveling for work, and then found herself sobbing in a change room because they didn’t have her size. That moment cracked something open.Kathryn shares what it was like to experience perimenopause without knowing it. Years of symptoms she brushed off as stress, including brain fog, overwhelm, and emotional outbursts that didn’t make sense at the time. Together we explore why so many women are caught off guard, how early it can start, and the emotional cost of not being prepared. This one is raw, real, and a reminder that perimenopause isn’t something you deal with later. It’s already happening for so many of us, and we deserve better conversations now.Key TakeawaysPerimenopause starts earlier than you think – Many women begin experiencing symptoms in their 30s without realizing it.Invisible symptoms are real – Brain fog, emotional swings, and fatigue are often overlooked or dismissed.It’s not just stress – Many women misread hormonal shifts as personal failure or mental burnout.Silence is costing us – Most women aren’t talking about perimenopause with their mothers, partners, or doctors.We need new norms – It’s time to educate ourselves and the next generation about every life stage, not just puberty or pregnancy.You’re not alone – Sharing our stories is the first step in feeling seen, heard, and supported.Where to Find Our GuestKathryn Carter’s Website: https://mypause.comKathryn Carter on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypause.health/Kathryn Carter on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-carter-6b053813/Links & ResourcesTake 20% off your order at https://mypause.com with code NAT20 — curated wellness tools to support your cycle, hormones, and daily balance.📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis

• Why Your Wellness Routine Stops Working After 35 | Hormone-Smart Health with Sally O’Neil

  What if the reason you feel tired, anxious, or like your health habits just aren’t working anymore… isn’t you? It’s your biology. In this episode, I sit down with clinical nutritionist and women’s health advocate Sally O’Neil to talk about the major shifts that happen in our 30s and 40s—and why most wellness advice doesn’t account for it.Sally opens up about her own healing journey from food obsession and burnout to building a balanced life that actually feels good. We unpack why popular trends like fasting, cold plunges, and high-intensity training might be backfiring on your hormones, and what to focus on instead.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not getting results, this conversation will feel like the relief you didn’t know you needed.Key TakeawaysHormone shifts change everything – What worked in your 20s likely won’t serve your body after 35.Cold plunges can spike cortisol – For many women, especially over 35, they may do more harm than good.Food is fuel, not the enemy – Undereating is one of the most common reasons women feel exhausted and dysregulated.Fasted training isn’t helping – Especially for women, eating before you train can improve energy, mood, and results.Strength training is essential – It’s the most protective thing you can do for your bones, metabolism, and brain as you age.It’s not about looking 20 again – It’s about building a strong, healthy body that supports you in this season of life.Where to Find Our GuestSally O’Neil’s Website: https://www.status8020.comSally O’Neil on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sallyoneilStatus 8020 on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/status.8020Sally O’Neil on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thefitfoodieblog/Links & ResourcesTake 20% off your order at https://mypause.com with code NAT20 — curated wellness tools to support your cycle, hormones, and daily balance.📷 Connect with Me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/natkringoudis
