97. Heavy Periods, Fibroids & Ovarian Cysts After 40: What Every Woman Needs to Know
Episode Description
In this episode, Claudia breaks down why heavy bleeding, fibroids, and ovarian cysts become so common in perimenopause – and what's really driving them beneath the surface.
You'll learn how low progesterone, poor estrogen metabolism, mineral imbalances, gut health, and improperly managed HRT can all contribute, and why monitoring matters when symptoms persist.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why low progesterone and unopposed estrogen drive heavy periods and fibroid growth
- How HRT dosing and endometrial lining impact bleeding and clotting
- The role of minerals, detox pathways, and daily bowel movements in hormone clearance
- When cysts are normal and when to investigate further
