Tired, foggy, gaining weight—and not sure if it’s just aging or something more?

Registered dietitian Lucy Hutchings breaks down why perimenopause symptoms like brain fog, belly fat, and poor sleep are common but absolutely not something you just have to live with. She shares how nutrition, strength training, and simple daily habits can gently support your hormones without extremes. We also explore the impact of caffeine, sugar, and stress on your energy and mood. For anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed, Lucy offers a realistic path forward.

If you're navigating this season of life and want real, practical support, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
