## Resource

Perimenopause is what nobody warned you about. Here are the 10 things I wish someone had told me — including the peptide your doctor probably won't mention. Want the labs I run, the doses I take, and the doctors I trust? That conversation lives in The Vanity Club. Perimenopause hit me and my doctor told me my levels were "fine" for five years. They weren't. This episode is everything I wish I'd known before I started hormones two years ago — the five I take every day, the practices that keep them working, and the one peptide your doctor won't bring up unless you push. Plus the truth nobody tells you: hormones aren't a magic pill. They only work if you use them right. In this episode I'm telling you: The morning hormone move that took my face from gray to lit-up in three weeks The bedtime hormone that gave me my sleep back (and why no concealer fakes it) The 4 AM moment my dialed protocol quit on me — and what I had to do next The hormone most doctors won't prescribe unless you fight for it (and why you should) The hormone insert nobody films because it sounds clinical (and the glow it actually gives you) The off-label hormone move that turned my face from tired to lit in three weeks The peptide almost nobody in beauty is naming on camera The 3 labs that explain why you feel like shit even when your bloodwork says "fine" The real reason I bother with any of this — and why the alternative is unacceptable This one's for every woman who's been told her hormones are "fine for her age" and knew goddamn well they weren't.
