You're not imagining it. Your hormones are changing.
Wide awake at 3 a.m. Anxious for no reason. Doing everything right while your body ignores it. In 30 minutes, Dr. Krista Dewar explains what's happening in perimenopause, menopause, and after, and what actually helps.
Watch The Hormone Shift · $39Recorded, so you watch on your schedule. 14-page handout included.
If any of this sounds like your week, keep reading.
- You fall asleep fine, then you're wide awake between 2 and 4 a.m.
- Anxiety or irritability shows up out of nowhere. You don't recognize yourself.
- Same food, same workouts. A different body, mostly around your middle.
- Your cycle got shorter, heavier, or completely unpredictable.
- You lose words mid-sentence and quietly worry about your brain.
- Desire has gone quiet, and it has nothing to do with your partner.
- You're still lifting, but muscle tone keeps slipping.
- You've been told it's stress, age, or "just part of being a woman."
Each symptom has a physiological explanation. Once you understand it, you stop guessing. That's exactly what we cover in this webinar.
Your body isn't failing. It's adapting.
Hormones don't fade in a straight line. In perimenopause they surge and crash month to month. Some cycles you ovulate, some you don't. That's why it feels so chaotic.
Your brain, metabolism, stress response, and nervous system are all recalibrating to a new stage of life. It isn't a breakdown, and it responds to the right inputs.
Your symptoms are information. This webinar teaches you how to read them.
What you'll walk away understanding
Thirty focused minutes, built from what women ask in our exam rooms every week.
Why progesterone goes first
Its direct line to 2 a.m. wake-ups, new anxiety, bloating, and heavier periods.
Estrogen is bigger than reproduction
How it shapes memory, mood, bone, heart, and skin, plus where your body stores fat.
The hormone nobody mentions to women
Testosterone's role in strength, motivation, focus, and libido, and when it starts to decline.
When it's your thyroid, too
The fatigue, fog, hair, and weight overlap that gets missed, and why midlife can bring it to the surface.
Where you are on the timeline
What typically shows up in premenopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause, so you can place yourself.
What a real plan looks like
Testing, lifestyle foundations, targeted supplements, and when bioidentical hormone therapy may be appropriate.
Three stages. Different hormones. Different symptoms.
Premenopause
Heavy cycles, PMS and PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS patterns.
Perimenopause
Irregular bleeding, broken sleep, mood swings, fatigue, weight gain, insulin resistance, palpitations.
Postmenopause
Vaginal dryness, urinary changes, low libido, bone and muscle loss, joint pain, inflammation.

Dr. Krista Dewar
Krista is the founder and medical director of Lifestyle Health & Wellness in Dubuque, Iowa. The clinic is a functional and lifestyle medicine practice centered on hormone health, metabolic health, and longevity.
She built The Hormone Shift because she kept having the same conversation with women in her exam room: smart, capable women who'd been handed a symptom list and no explanation. This is that explanation.
This is for you if
You're in your late 30s or beyond and something feels off.
You want to understand your body before deciding on any treatment.
You're already on hormones and want to know what they're actually doing.
You're done being dismissed and ready to ask better questions.
It's not
A diagnosis. A video can't evaluate you, but it can make your next appointment far more productive.
A pitch for one treatment. Lifestyle comes first; therapy is considered when it's appropriate for you.
A replacement for prompt care. New or severe symptoms deserve a visit with your provider.
Questions
Is it live?
No. It's a recording, so you can watch whenever it works for you and come back to it as often as you like.
How long is it?
30 minutes. Short enough for a lunch break, detailed enough to change how you understand your body.
Do I need to be a patient?
No. Anyone can watch. Many women use it to get oriented before deciding whether to seek care.
Will it tell me if I need hormones?
It will help you understand your symptoms and the options that exist. Whether any treatment is right for you can only be decided after an individual medical evaluation.
