Hey friend,

…Ever feel like you just stuck your finger in a light socket… even though you’ve been nowhere near an electrical outlet? 👀

…Or gotten a “whiff” of something funky and wondered, “What is that smell?”... only to realize it’s YOU?!

…Or have you ever gone to scratch or brush away a creepy, crawly bug making its way down your leg…only to realize there's nothing there?

If you’re sitting there nodding, then you may be a card-carrying member of the Crazy Hormones Club. 🤪

In Part 2 of our episode on weird and wacky menopause symptoms, we’re diving into 3 more symptoms no one (except me) is talking about–brain zaps, body odor, and itchy, crawly skin.

Join me for today’s episode as we unpack:

• The science behind “brain zaps”—why our nervous system goes a little haywire during perimenopause and how fluctuating hormone levels impact our hypothalamus

• Body odor changes—the link between hormones, sweat, and bacteria, and the real reason you may be smelling less like a rose these days (that has nothing to do with hygiene)

• Itchy, crawly skin—the medical condition commonly diagnosed as hives, eczema, or a rash that often accompanies hot flashes

Plus, I’ll also share my go-to natural remedies for reducing or even eliminating these crazy hormone symptoms including phytoestrogen-rich foods, B12 vitamins, and hormone-friendly skincare.

If you’ve been brushed off by your doctor or have been suffering in silence, secretly searching “weird menopause symptoms” on TikTok, this episode is for you!
