Eps 441: 6 Perimenopause Supplements You May Be Wasting Money On

Are you spending hundreds of dollars on supplements for perimenopause, menopause, stubborn weight, cortisol, sleep, and hormone balance but still not feeling better?

In this episode, I’m breaking down which midlife supplements may be worth your money, which ones are commonly misused, and why taking more supplements is rarely the complete solution for fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, or menopause weight gain.

I discuss green powders, fat burners, menopause gummies, cortisol supplements, over-the-counter hormone creams, and collagen. I also share my foundational supplement shortlist, including magnesium glycinate, omega-3s, vitamin D3 with K2, creatine, trace minerals, and protein powder.

Supplements should fill specific gaps in your health routine. They should never replace protein, strength training, complete meals, sleep, movement, recovery, or personalized guidance.
