Perimenopause Wake-Up Call: The Symptoms No One Told You About

We are back with another Menopause Mondays episode on Spill with Me Jenny D. Show!  Jenny D. started this series in March 2025.  By popular demand we are providing women with awareness, education and information while navigating through the hormonal shift we all will face in our lives.
Meet my guest Karissa Pfeffer from Michigan, a former corporate leader who discovered she was perimenopausal and retrained as a perimenopause health coach to help midlife women.
We explore common symptoms, misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy, and the four pillars of Karissa’s approach—education, stress management, nutrition, and movement—plus the value of community support.
