Episode 125: Perimenopause 101 with Dr. Jolene Brighten
She’s back! This week, I’m talking to Dr. Jolene Brighten (again!. You loved her so much on the birth control episode, I thought she’d be the perfect person to cover this week’s topic. Dr. Brighten is a Functional Medicine Naturopathic Doctor and the founder of Rubus Health, a women’s medicine clinic that specializes in women’s hormones. She is a recognized leader in Post-Birth Control Syndrome and the long-term side effects associated with hormonal contraceptives. Her new book, Beyond The Pill, is out now.
In this episode, Dr. Brighten and I talk about perimenopause (what it is and what it isn’t), how to prepare our bodies as they transition, recognizing our super powers, tapping into our cycles to be more present + productive, and finding lessons in difficult times.
Here’s Dr. Brighten:
