Description



What if perimenopause isn’t a cliff, but a seven to ten year hormonal shift we were never properly taught about?


Dr. Amy Shah returns to break down what’s actually happening during the hormone “havoc” phase, from fatigue and brain fog to mood changes and body composition shifts. We dive into the 30-30-3 nutrition framework, why protein and fiber matter more than ever, how fermented foods support estrogen balance, and the 4-3-2-1 movement plan to build strength, resilience, and longevity. This conversation is about shifting from smaller to stronger, and taking control of what you can.
