Ep 17 | Perimenopause, Pain, and Misinformation with Dr. Jen Gunter

Written By Rachael Su

Perimenopause: it's not just hot flashes and rage-cleaning your kitchen at 2 a.m. (although that's part of it).

In this episode of OvaryActive, the Docs get into the chaos and confusion that is hormonal fluctuation with none other than Dr. Jen Gunter, the internet's favorite OBGYN and myth-slayer-in-chief.

From PMS to PMDD to bleeding that seems to follow no known calendar system, this conversation tackles the messy, misunderstood realities of perimenopause with wit, wisdom, and zero tolerance for pseudoscience.

Dr. Gunter is a bestselling author and advocate for fact-based women's health. She brings her signature blend of science, sass, and serious credentials to a conversation that pulls back the curtain on topics that often get ignored—or worse, wildly misrepresented. Whether you've read The Vagina Bible or just Googled "why does everything hurt after 40," this is one guest you'll want to hear from.
