## Resource

In this first episode of You’re Not Crazy, It’s Perimenopause , Jenny shares her personal experience that led her to this work. In her early 40s, she began feeling exhausted, anxious, and unlike herself, but no one could explain why. She was told to “eat better and exercise,” yet she knew something deeper was going on. After being misdiagnosed and struggling for answers, Jenny discovered functional medicine, a whole-body approach focused on sleep, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle. As she made changes, her energy returned, she reversed prediabetes, lost weight, and began to feel like herself again. That transformation sparked her mission: to help women understand what’s happening in their bodies during perimenopause and feel empowered, not dismissed, in midlife. If you’ve ever thought, What is happening to me?, then this episode is for you.
