Perimenopause Signs Every Woman Should Know
About this video
This short clip features Brecka and his wife describing her experience of perimenopause beginning earlier than she expected, in her 30s. She lists mood shifts, morning exhaustion, brain fog, and loss of libido, and says a frozen shoulder that persisted for months was what finally pushed them to investigate hormones. She describes hormone testing as a turning point that, in her account, explained symptoms she had been attributing to other causes, despite already eating cleanly and using multiple wellness modalities.

- Brecka’s wife says perimenopause can begin in a woman’s 30s, earlier than many expect
- She describes frozen shoulder as the symptom that finally prompted hormone testing in her case
