Susan Hunter makes the case that the symptoms women are experiencing in perimenopause are not random, not inevitable, and not evidence of personal failure. They are signals. A coherent biological story being told by a body in its third major hormonal transition.
Drawing on the science of oestrogen, the emerging research on menopause as a metabolic turning point, the scale of the women's health gap, and her own experience of postpartum hormonal changes, this episode builds a single sustained argument toward one landing point. This is not the beginning of decline. It is the beginning of a different kind of body intelligence.
