The Perimenopause LIES & Omissions We’ve All Been Fed with Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re diving into perimenopause — the inevitable but wildly misunderstood hormonal transition that affects half the population and somehow still catches so many women off guard. From cycle changes and insomnia to brain fog and mood shifts, perimenopause often arrives with confusion, dismissal, and far too much self-blame. I’m joined by Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti, the Jain monk-filmmakers behind the docuseries Balance: A Perimenopause Journey, to unpack the biggest myths, the glaring gaps in care and education, the wellness industry’s shady tactics, and the evidence-based nutrition strategies that can actually help.
