Thanks so much for sharing this work, Denise. My ferritin was low on my last blood test, but I wonder if that might have had to do with where I was in my cycle -- I had been bleeding the past seven days. 🤔

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been researching the topic as well because a few months ago my sleep was totally fucked and I was experiencing night sweats. I thought maybe it was perimenopause, although I don’t want to self-diagnose (I’m only 39, turning 40 in a few months, so might be a little early, or maybe that’s just denial speaking?). I still need to go to my GP for a blood test (this was a good kick in the ass to do so), but I started taking B12, Magnesium, and vitamin D (until it became sunnier again here in AMS), and so far, it has helped! Excited for part 3 of this series!

Super helpful. I have a draft saved titled, "Is it perimenopause or just existential dread?" So, I feel this. 🙃
