Perimenopause Simplified (375K+ downloads) is the no-BS podcast for women 40+ who are doing everything right — and still feel off. Hosted by Claudia Petrilli, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and creator of The Perimenopause Method, this show breaks down what’s really happening with your hormones and body during perimenopause — without the noise or conflicting advice.

Each week, Claudia covers real perimenopause symptoms, tools like hormone therapy (HRT), how to build muscle, improve body composition, and the nutrition, lifestyle, sleep and recovery shifts that actually work after 40 — not the ones that worked in your 20s. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works for this oh-so-fun season of life.

Subscribe so you stop guessing about your hormones & start feeling like yourself again.
