A Story of Early Peri-menopause
Manage episode 320147833 series 3315272

The crazy thing is that my experience is not that extraordinary. I see women every week who are in the same run down, depleted state I was in and are suffering from heavy periods, night sweats, exhaustion and so much more and have no idea what to do.
