She breaks down why the answer isn’t as simple as you might think, and why you don’t necessarily need labs to know you’re in perimenopause. She also shares when testing can be helpful, and why timing and context matter more than most women realize. Jenny also uncovers what’s often missing from standard lab work and why so many women are told “everything is normal” when they don’t feel normal. She talks about key areas commonly overlooked and explains how to start advocating for your health so you can get real answers and support.
