Send a text

Welcome to another episode of The Gynarchy Podcast! Today, I’m speaking with a board-certified ob/gyn, menopause specialist, and longevity medicine doctor, Dr. Jila Senemar, about a very confusing time of life: perimenopause.

In “Episode 29: Perimenopause”, we discuss what this transition period to menopause looks like, symptoms associated with it, other medical risks and concerns during this time, and introduce some treatment approaches.

Here are some topics we discuss:

• Defining perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause
• Common symptoms and problems that suggest perimenopause
• Associated medical issues that can arise in the perimenopause that should be considered
• Tests that are useful and not useful
• Using birth control vs. hormone therapy vs non-hormonal treatment
• Lifestyle interventions that can help during perimenopause and into menopause
• The importance of supporting more research in women’s health and specifically menopause-related issues

Tune in on Monday, October 27, 2025 and make sure to subscribe and stay updated on all our episodes.
