Your Perimenopausal Sleep Wishes Granted by Endy: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey
This Is Perimenopause: Menopause, Perimenopause and Women's Health in MidlifeShow Notes
We asked our community what their perimenopause sleep wishes were. Turns out, we’re all looking for the same things: to stay asleep, wake up without pain, stop the duvet dance, and for the love of all things holy, to feel rested again.
In this episode, we sat down with Endy insiders, Erin Gray and Van Kutrowski and discovered that we can’t blame all our sleepless nights on hormones and stress. It could be that our mattresses are the missing piece in our perimenopausal sleep toolkits.
In this episode: Why temperature fluctuations during sleep could be a sign your sleep environment needs an upgrade Why you might be waking up with hip and shoulder pain and why side sleepers need to pay special attention Why the mattress that worked perfectly in your 30s may not be cutting it anymore, because you've changed, even if your mattress hasn't How your partner (or your dog) could be the reason you’re waking at 2 a.m., and what to do about it Why your pillow could be sabotaging an otherwise great mattress, and how to find the right loft for the way you sleep The bedding and layering strategies that work with your cooling mattress instead of against it
Don't miss this one. Let Erin and Van help you reclaim your rest so that you can rise to shine!

Where did this belly suddenly come from? And is a GLP-1 the answer?
Rushed appointments. Leaving your doctor’s appointment with no real answers and more questions than before. Have you thought about seeing a nurse practitioner?
This episode will change how you think about that itch you've been ignoring down there.
We know Gina Livy as the weight loss expert. So when she told her community she was writing a book, we assumed we knew exactly what it would be about. We were wrong.
