Comment with “Video” & I Will Send You the Detailed video on 7 Perimenopause Symptoms No One Warns You About.

Perimenopause isn’t always a “40s or 50s” conversation. For some women, hormonal changes can begin earlier than expected—even in their 30s.

From irregular or heavier periods and stubborn acne to brain fog, sleep disturbances, fatigue, mood changes, joint aches, and changes in libido, your body may be giving you signals worth paying attention to.

Did you know Perimenopause can start in your early 30’s?

some common early perimenopause symptoms

* Cystic Acne & Skin Changes
* Irregular or Heavier Periods
* Dry Skin & Itchy Ears
* Heart Palpitations
* Chronic Fatigue & Energy Crashes
* Brain Fog & Memory Lapses
* Feeling Too Hot or Too Cold
* Joint & Muscle Aches
* Sleep Disturbances & Low Libido
* Bloating & Constipation

✨ If you’re experiencing several of these symptoms, don’t simply dismiss them as “stress” or “just getting older.” Understanding your hormones and discussing your symptoms with a qualified healthcare professional can help you get the right support.

Menopause care should be about more than simply prescribing a treatment. Your symptoms, nutrition, sleep, stress, hormones, and long-term health all deserve to be part of the conversation.

5 red flags you may have the wrong menopause provider 🚩

* They only offer pellets
* They don’t discuss nutrition
* They don’t discuss the uns*x stuff like sleep & stresss
* They don’t think testosterone is important
* They don’t test bone, heart, & brain health

If your provider only focuses on one piece of the puzzle—or dismisses important areas of your health—it may be time to ask questions and seek a more comprehensive approach.

You deserve menopause care that looks at the whole you, not just your symptoms.

Which of these red flags have you experienced? 👇

🌸 Low vaginal estrogen isn’t only about s*x.

Many women experience changes in the vaginal and urinary tissues during perimenopause and menopause, and the symptoms can show up in ways you may not immediately connect to changing estrogen levels.

🔥 Burning or discomfort
🚽 Urinary urgency
🦠 Recurrent UTIs
😣 Irritation or sensitivity
💧 Changes in lubrication or vaginal discharge

These symptoms can be frustrating—and they’re not something you simply have to “put up with” as you age.

If you’re experiencing new or persistent vaginal or urinary symptoms, talk with a qualified healthcare professional to understand the possible causes and appropriate treatment options.

✨ A Moment Worth Celebrating! ✨

I’m incredibly excited to share that I will be taking the TEDx stage at TEDx AstorPlace on November 6, 2026, at the NYU Kimmel Center. 🎤

With the powerful theme “This Is How We Rise,” this event is about the courage to challenge conventional thinking, share ideas that matter, and create meaningful change. TEDx

As a physician and advocate for a more personalized approach to women’s health, this is an incredible opportunity to bring important conversations to a bigger stage—especially conversations around women’s health, midlife, hormones, and the changes women experience throughout their lives.

Because sometimes, rising means questioning what we’ve always been told.

Sometimes, it means speaking up when something needs to change.
And sometimes, it means helping others realize that there is another way forward.

I’m honored to be part of a community of thought leaders, changemakers, and storytellers who believe that one idea can spark a movement.

📅 November 6, 2026

Here’s to embracing change, challenging the status quo, and continuing to rise—together.

HRT is dangerous?

If we’re talking about risks, let’s talk about the full picture—not fear-based headlines.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be an important treatment option for many women during perimenopause and menopause, but it isn’t one-size-fits-all. The benefits, risks, type of hormones, dose, route, timing, and your individual health history all matter.

So before you believe “HRT is dangerous,” ask a better question:
“Is HRT appropriate and safe for me?”

Because menopause care deserves evidence—not outdated myths.

Talk to a qualified healthcare professional to understand your individual options. Rena Malik, MD | Urologist FIGS

🚨 A significant step for testosterone access in California.

California has taken action to remove testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from the state’s list of controlled substances—but there’s an important condition attached.

The change will only take effect if the federal government or FDA makes a similar change at the federal level.

The legislation reportedly received unanimous bipartisan support, passing the California Legislature 71–0 before being sent to the Governor.

Why does this matter? 👇

Testosterone and DHT are important hormones involved in energy, muscle maintenance, s*xual health, bone health, mood, and overall wellbeing. How these hormones are regulated can have a direct impact on how easily patients can access appropriate care.

For many people, hormone health isn’t simply about a number on a lab report—it’s about understanding the full picture of symptoms, physiology, hormones, and individual needs.

This could be an important conversation for the future of hormone optimization and patient access to care.

💬 Do you think testosterone and DHT should continue to be classified as controlled substances at the federal level?

Perimenopause can come with some unexpected symptoms—and not all of them are talked about enough.

From itchy ears and changes in body odor to heart palpitations, vertigo, mood changes, and even new autoimmune issues, hormonal fluctuations can affect far more than your menstrual cycle. FIGS

If something feels different in your body, don’t simply dismiss it as “getting older.” Understanding the changes happening during perimenopause can help you advocate for the right support and care.

✨ Knowledge is power—especially when it comes to your hormones.

If your cholesterol numbers are creeping up during perimenopause or menopause, it may not be as simple as “you need to eat better.

Hormonal changes—especially declining estrogen—can affect your cholesterol levels, including increasing LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. And because cholesterol plays an important role in cardiovascular health, this is something worth paying attention to.

The good news? Knowing what’s happening gives you the opportunity to be proactive.

✨ Track your cholesterol and other heart-health markers
✨ Focus on nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management
✨ Talk with your healthcare provider about your individual risk factors and treatment options

Menopause is about more than hot flashes—it’s also a time to pay closer attention to your heart health.

👇 Comment with “Guide” and I will share you my perimenopause Tracker Guide.

Being a hormone expert isn’t just about knowing your labs—it’s about teaching the next generation of women to understand, protect, and prioritize their health.

10 THINGS I ACTUALLY DO WITH MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER

* We talk about hormones openly
* We prioritize protein at every meal
* We lift weights together
* We protect her sleep like it’s sacred
* We talk about stress — and name it
* We eat anti-inflammatory most of the time
* We get her vitamin D and iron checked
* We avoid endocrine disruptors in makeup
* We go outside every single day
* Most powerful thing I can teach her is that a woman’s health is not optional — and not selfish

Because healthy habits aren’t just about how you look today. They’re about building strong bones, muscles, metabolism, hormones, mental health, and confidence for the decades ahead.

The best health lesson we can give our daughters isn’t perfection—it’s showing them that their health matters.

Beyond Comfort: Why Vaginal Estrogen is a Crucial Conversation in Women’s Health

When we talk about vaginal estrogen, the conversation often centers purely around intimacy or comfort. But the truth is, vaginal estrogen is about so much more than just s*x.

Whether women are navigating postpartum changes or transitioning through post-menopause, maintaining vaginal health has profound systemic impacts:

- Reduces Infections: It plays a key role in preventing and reducing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and vaginal infections.
- Lowers Critical Risks: By minimizing severe and recurrent infections, it helps reduce the risk of life-threatening complications like sepsis.
- Supports Overall Wellness: It provides essential support and moisture for women across various life stages—proving it is a matter of foundational health, not just aging.

It’s time to break the stigma, expand the narrative, and advocate for comprehensive women’s health education.
