Put a Pause on It: The Real Story of Peri/Menopause (Beyond the Algorithm)

The algorithm knows perimenopause is trending. You still don't know what's happening to your body.

If you've watched 100 reels and are still "none the wiser" about why your sleep is gone, your brain is foggy, or why your doctor is pushing a hysterectomy—this is for you. Social media is great for awareness, but it's terrible for accuracy.
