The ChangeAuthor: Dr. Caitlin
Perimenopause discussions and resources for people in their 30s, 40s and beyond. Are you over 35? Is your body doing weird stuff and no one can tell you why? Have you looked for answers on the internet or in your doctor's office and are more confused than ever? Maybe your menstrual cycle is all over the place or your anxiety is at a million. Perhaps you're a bit more depressed, forgetful or foggy. Do you happen to be waking up in the middle of the night, sweaty and confused? In general, have you found yourself wondering, "what in the actual fuck is happening here?" If so, you may be in perimenopause. Don't know what that means? No problem. Totally freaked out by the word menopause? You're in the right place. Welcome to The Change, a podcast for people who are interested in learning more about the perimenopausal process and the changes that go along with it including mental, physical, emotional, cultural, and spiritual. People do not understand perimenopause. There's a black box around this important piece of the lifecycle and as a result, people are confused, apprehensive, scared and potentially dreading not only the transition, but the rich years that come after it. Spoiler alert. It doesn't have to be that way. Language: en Genres: Alternative Health, Education, Health & Fitness Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Hot Flash! - Weight Gain
Episode 10
Wednesday, 20 July, 2022
This may be my favorite HOT FLASH to date! I review the normalcy of weight gain during perimenopause and why this change in body composition is generally NOT related to health. I explain the Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to health care and some tips and tricks for overcoming body shame/discomfort. NOTE: Lindo Bacon (formerly Linda Bacon) uses They/Them pronouns. I was not aware of the name change at the time of recording and apologize for not using the correct name/pronouns during recording. Also, Lindo Bacon is no longer associated with ASDAH as of this writing (7/2022).
