Perimenopause & Endometriosis | Interview with Dena Norton

What actually happens when endometriosis meets perimenopause, and why does it feel so different for so many women? In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Dena Norton, a specialist in hormonal health and endometriosis, to unpack the complex relationship between perimenopause and endo. We’re diving into all things hormones, including fluctuating estrogen and progesterone resistance and how this might impact your symptoms and treatment. We also explore how medications like antidepressants, antihistamines, hormonal contraceptives, and antibiotics may affect the perimenopausal transition for people with endo, and what you can do about it. Whether you’re feeling the early signs of perimenopause or deep in the hormonal rollercoaster, this conversation will help you feel more informed, supported, and empowered.
