Stop making these common perimenopause mistakes! 🛑
HRT is NOT birth control. If you’re in your 40s and still ovulating, switching off the pill to HRT without a backup plan can lead to an unexpected pregnancy!
Here’s the breakdown:
🔹 Need pregnancy prevention + heavy period control? ➡️ The Pill (or a Progestin IUD)
🔹 Need relief from hot flashes, insomnia & bone loss? ➡️ HRT
➡️Another common mistake is expecting an accurate fsh, estrogen, or progesterone level while on birth control, especially the pill. Birth control suppresses ovulation and therefore suppresses your numbers in your blood tests. We can get a general idea of what your ratios are but not a complete picture of your perimenopause or menopause status.
➡️And remember not to blindly later HRT on top of any hormonal birth control. It's best to see a trained provider who can walk you through the best next steps for you!

Brain fog isn’t always “just hormones.”

Poor sleep, chronic stress, under-eating, low iron, thyroid dysfunction, medications, illness, and hormone changes can all contribute—and several may be happening at the same time.

I explain the seven most commonly missed causes and where to start in my newest YouTube video.

One of the biggest challenges I see with GLP-1 medications is getting enough protein and fiber when appetite is low.

Methodology sent me both their Sustain GLP-1 program and their Signature meal program to try. The first box I opened contains their Sustain GLP-1 meals, which are specifically designed for people taking GLP-1 medications. The second box contains their Signature 4-Day Program, which is their regular meal delivery option.

I was impressed by the ingredient quality, convenience, and nutrient density- so many antioxidant, fiber, protein, and vitamin rich foods! The majority of the meals have 30 plus grams protein, and the GLP-1 program meals all had fiber content averaging from 15-20 grams per meal, and they are made without gluten, dairy, refined sugar, or seed oils.

Are they expensive? Yes. This is definitely a premium meal service. But for some people—especially during busy weeks or the days after a GLP-1 injection when eating can feel like a chore—the convenience may be worth the splurge.

If you'd like to try Methodology, you can save 10% on your first order with my code: SHELLEY10

Your libido didn’t disappear without reason ❤️

Perimenopause changes estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels — and those hormone shifts can affect desire, arousal, sleep, vaginal dryness, confidence, and energy levels. Factor is work, home, and relationship stress and the combo can know out any s*x drive you may have had.

The good news? There ARE things that help.

I’m breaking down:
✨ why this happens
✨ what’s actually going on hormonally
✨ and real solutions that can help support libido during perimenopause

Comment “LIBIDO” and I’ll send you the full blog post. 👇 Or check my link.tree in my profile.

✔️ Gained 2–3 lbs overnight
✔️ Didn’t know what your body was doing
You’re not crazy—and you’re not broken.

Your symptoms aren’t random.
They’re connected.
If you’re dealing with things like poor sleep, weight gain, anxiety, or feeling “off”…
it’s not about fixing one symptom at a time.
It’s about understanding what’s actually happening with your hormones.
That’s exactly why I created this mini course—
to help it finally make sense and give you a clear next step.

Feeling wired at night but exhausted all day?
This isn’t just stress.
In early perimenopause, progesterone starts to decline—and things like unstable blood sugar can make symptoms like anxiety and poor sleep even worse.
This won’t fix hormones overnight, but it’s a simple place to start.
Comment CHECKLIST and I’ll send you my progesterone symptom guide.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic are everywhere right now…
But what no one is talking about is how they affect women in perimenopause.
Because this isn’t just about weight loss.
It’s about:
– Muscle loss
– Hormones
– Metabolism
– Energy
– Long-term health
In some cases, they can help.
In others, they can make things worse if we’re not addressing the root causes.
I break it all down in my latest video.

If your anxiety seems to come out of nowhere… or feels different from week to week, you’re not imagining it

This is one of the most confusing parts of perimenopause
Hormones don’t just decline—they fluctuate, and that can affect your mood, your nervous system, and how you feel overall

One week you feel like yourself
The next week, you don’t
There is a reason for this
