25: Sarah Gray on Life After… Perimenopause: Understanding symptoms, hormones, and finding the right support

Ever feel like your symptoms aren’t being taken seriously?

This week, I’m joined by Sarah Gray, pharmacist, nutritionist, certified lifestyle practitioner, and now author of a brand-new book all about perimenopause.

Sarah is passionate about helping women demystify this often confusing stage of life and giving them the tools to advocate for themselves.

From hormones to healthcare to simply being heard, Sarah is on a mission to help women stop dismissing their symptoms and start creating a team around them that truly supports their wellbeing.

Sarah shares her professional expertise as well as the personal reasons behind her work, and how her book is changing the way women approach this transition.

In this episode, we chat about:

Sarah’s unusual symptoms, the dismissal she faced from doctors, and the moment one even questioned if she was making it up
What perimenopause actually is, when it typically starts, and what’s really happening with your hormones
Common symptoms of perimenopause vs. what could signal something else (like thyroid or iron issues)
Why so many women’s symptoms are dismissed, and how to advocate for yourself while building a supportive health team
The empowering shift that happens when you understand your body and options
Sarah’s journey of writing her book and what she hopes women will take away from it

Sarah’s work is a reminder that knowledge is power, and that women deserve support, clarity, and compassion through every stage of life.
