Eps 379: This Hormone Affects Your Entire Body In Perimenopause
Sunday, 11 January, 2026
Okay, let’s talk about the hormone that quietly changed everything.Estrogen has been quietly influencing your body for decades, and most women don’t realize how much until it starts changing. In this episode, I walk you through why symptoms like brain fog, weight changes, mood shifts, and sleep issues often show up together, and why they’re so easy to dismiss or mislabel. We unpack how estrogen affects your brain, bones, metabolism, and gut, and what actually matters when it comes to hormone therapy. This conversation is about understanding what’s happening in your body so you can stop guessing, ask better questions, and make choices that actually support you.If you want clarity instead of confusion when it comes to your hormones, this is where to start.Episode Timeline: 00:01 – Episode Preview01:09 – Podcast Intro03:15 – Estrogen Runs The Show06:53 – Foundations Before Hormones07:25 – Estrogen Is A Family12:05 – Perimenopause Estrogen Rollercoaster15:10 – Low Estrogen Symptoms18:40 – High Estrogen Explained20:10 – Detox Changes Estrogen Symptoms22:55 – Estrogen & Weight Gain26:30 – HRT Options Explained29:05 – Progesterone Still Matters31:10 – Is Estrogen Therapy Safe34:20 – What To Do Next36:02 – Final Takeaway & OutroLinks:Book a Hormone Breakthrough Call - https://calendly.com/briatheperiodwhisperer/private-coaching?month=2025-12 Connect with Bria on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bria_period_whisperer/ Learn more about Bria’s coaching program: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/Coaching Subscribe to The Period Whisperer Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-period-whisperer-podcast-perimenopause-menopause/id1617315546 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5w8w0KbRuDwOUoBMzeFOOO YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bria_period_whisperer
