EPISODE #251: Managing Your Perimenopausal Rage

Dr. Kameelah Phillips is an OBGYN and menopause specialist — yet, when she started experiencing brain fog and night sweats, she didn’t immediately associate those symptoms with hormonal changes.

It took her a while to realize that she was going through the same thing many of her patients were: perimenopause.

Once Dr. Phillips figured out she was in perimenopause, her wild mood swings also made sense — especially her rage. If you’re transitioning to menopause, rage may be a familiar feeling for you these days, too.

Tune to understand why rage is so prevalent in perimenopause, how we can get help for our symptoms… and a memorable freakout over a vacuum.
