A perimenopausa é uma das fases mais intensas — e menos compreendidas — da vida feminina.
Neste episódio, exploramos o que realmente acontece no corpo, no comportamento e, principalmente, no cérebro durante essa transição.
Falamos sobre história, pressão moderna, identidade, mudanças hormonais e o surpreendente estudo publicado na Nature Mental Health que mostrou que o cérebro feminino passa por uma reorganização semelhante à adolescência — uma verdadeira “segunda puberdade”.
Referências como CNN, BBC e The New York Times também comentaram esses achados.
A partir de ciência, clareza e sensibilidade, este episódio revela por que tantas mulheres entre 40 e 50 anos sentem que estão mudando por dentro — e como essa fase pode ser não um declínio, mas um renascimento.
