Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep disruption. A sense of “I don’t recognize myself.”\n\nIn this episode, Dr. Becky sits down with OB-GYN and menopause expert Dr. Mary Claire Haver to unpack what’s actually happening in the body during perimenopause — and why so many women have been dismissed or left in the dark.\n\nThey talk about how hormonal changes impact mood, parenting, relationships, and resilience — and how understanding what’s happening internally can shift the story from “something is wrong with me” to “something is changing in my body.”\n\nDr. Haver’s new book, The New Perimenopause (out April 7), is part of a growing movement to bring clarity, research, and real support to this often-overlooked stage of life.\nIf you’ve ever felt unlike yourself and didn’t know why — this conversation will help you connect the dots."}
