Perimenopause rarely happens in isolation. For many women, it layers on top of existing health challenges such as autoimmunity, chronic gut imbalances like SIBO, or even mould illness, making symptoms feel overwhelming and deeply interconnected.
In this episode, I answer a listener’s powerful question: “How do you manage perimenopause when you’re also dealing with autoimmunity, SIBO, or mould?”
I’ll walk you through:
- Why these conditions often overlap with perimenopause, and how shifting hormones affect immunity, inflammation, gut health, and resilience.
- Six key areas to focus on for support, including nervous system regulation, blood sugar balance, reducing inflammation, gentle gut care, detox pathways, and energy support.
- Why slowing down and releasing the pressure to “fix everything at once” is one of the most healing steps you can take.
If you’re navigating perimenopause alongside chronic illness or environmental stressors, this episode is here to give you both practical strategies and reassurance that healing is still possible.
