Perimenopause Was Never Meant to Be a Time of Suffering- So Why Is Everyone Struggling Now?

Perimenopause has become a buzzword. Scroll social media and you’ll see countless posts about hot flashes, anxiety, rage, weight gain, brain fog, insomnia, and exhaustion often looked at as an unavoidable part of being a woman in midlife.

But here’s the truth that rarely gets discussed:

We were never meant to suffer through this transition!

Historically, this stage of life was honored. In many traditional cultures, it marked a woman’s passage into wisdom, authority, and deeper intuition. It was a threshold, not a diagnosis. So why does it feel so different now?

The answer lies not in “failing hormones,” but in a system that has been quietly overwhelmed for decades- the LIVER.

The liver is one of the most important organs involved in hormonal balance, yet it’s rarely discussed when women are told their symptoms are simply “normal.”

Your liver is responsible for:
👉🏻 Metabolizing and clearing estrogen
👉🏻 Processing stress hormones like cortisol
👉🏻 Filtering environmental toxins
👉🏻 Supporting bile flow and digestion
👉🏻 Regulating inflammation and blood sugar

Hormones don’t just rise and fall on their own- they must be processed, neutralized, and eliminated. When the liver is functioning well, this happens efficiently. When it’s overwhelmed, hormones (especially estrogen) can recirculate in the body instead of exiting properly.

This recirculation is what drives many of the symptoms now labeled as “perimenopause.”

Unlike women in generations past, we are navigating this life transition with a liver that has been under constant strain for years, often decades.

Some of the biggest contributors include:
💥 Chronic stress and long-term cortisol exposure
💥 Ultra-processed foods and inflammatory seed oils
💥 Alcohol, even in amounts considered “moderate”
💥 Environmental toxins, plastics, and endocrine disruptors
💥 Poor digestion and sluggish bile flow
💥 Long-held emotional stress and unresolved experiences

By the time hormonal shifts naturally begin in our late 30s and 40s, the liver is often already working overtime. When estrogen production starts to fluctuate, the body can’t adapt smoothly and symptoms appear.

A healthy body is designed to adapt to change. Symptoms are not signs of an “inevitable decline”, they are signals.

Perimenopause is the body’s way of saying:

“The system needs support.”

When the liver, gut, and nervous system are congested or overwhelmed, hormonal transitions become turbulent instead of graceful. What we’ve come to accept as “normal” is actually a sign of imbalance in the terrain.

When the liver is given what it needs, the body often responds quickly and clearly.

Women commonly notice:
☺️ Smoother estrogen clearance
☺️ Improved mood and emotional stability
☺️ Better sleep
☺️ More consistent energy
☺️ Reduced bloating and inflammation
☺️ Less resistance with weight changes

The transition softens and perimenopause begins to resemble what it was always meant to be- a passage into a new phase of strength and clarity.

Perimenopause is not something to suppress, fear, or medicate away without understanding the root cause. It is an invitation to restore balance, clear congestion, and support the organs that have been carrying the load for years.

✨ Your body isn’t broken.
✨ Your hormones aren’t betraying you.
✨ Your liver is asking for support.

When we listen to that message, this stage of life transforms from something to dread into something to step into with confidence and power.

The Gallbladder: Where the Unspoken Is Stored

Over the years, working with people on their health journeys, I’ve noticed a powerful pattern in the body, especially when it comes to the gallbladder.

Physically, the gallbladder stores bile, a substance that helps us digest fats. Symbolically, I see it as something more: a place where we store what we didn’t say, what we swallowed, what we pushed down to keep the peace.

So many of us were taught (directly or indirectly) that it wasn’t safe to speak up. That anger was “bad.” That honesty might cost us love, stability, or belonging. And so instead of expressing how we truly felt, we learned to hold it in.

Swallowing Words, Holding Bitterness-

When I talk with clients dealing with gallbladder issues, a common theme often emerges:
resentment that never found a voice.

It might look like:
• Biting your tongue in relationships to avoid conflict
• Feeling deeply wronged but unable to speak your truth
• Carrying anger quietly while presenting a calm exterior
• Saying “it’s fine” when it absolutely wasn’t

Those unspoken words don’t disappear. They go somewhere.

The gallbladder, in my experience, becomes the place where that emotional “bile” is stored. The bitterness. The sharp edges of feelings that had nowhere else to go.

Over time, holding in anger and resentment takes a toll- not just emotionally, but physically. What starts as a moment of silence can turn into years of suppressed emotion.

I often think of gallstones symbolically as emotions that have hardened over time- resentments that were never expressed, boundaries that were never set, truths that were never spoken.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness.

The body is incredibly intelligent. When something isn’t processed emotionally, it often asks for attention through physical signals.

The Body Isn’t Betraying You!

I don’t see symptoms as the body turning against us. I see them as messages and an invitation to look deeper.

When the gallbladder speaks, it often asks questions like:
• Where have I been swallowing my truth?
• What anger have I convinced myself I shouldn’t feel?
• Who or what am I still resentful toward?
• What would happen if I allowed myself to speak honestly?

These questions aren’t meant to replace physical care. Gallbladder issues absolutely deserve proper evaluation and treatment. But alongside that, there is often emotional work waiting to be done.

Releasing What Was Never Said-

Healing, in my experience, begins with permission.

Permission to feel anger without shame.
Permission to acknowledge resentment without judgment.
Permission to speak the truth- out loud, on paper, or even just to yourself.

Sometimes release doesn’t mean confrontation. Sometimes it means writing the words you never said. Sometimes it means recognizing that you were never wrong for feeling the way you did.

When we stop storing everything inside, the body no longer has to carry it alone.

The gallbladder teaches us about discernment, boundaries, and self-respect. It reminds us that digestion isn’t just about food, it’s about life experiences.

What we can’t digest emotionally often shows up physically.

My hope is that this perspective encourages curiosity rather than fear. The body is always communicating. When we learn to listen with compassion and support, we give ourselves the opportunity to heal on every level.

This little boy was referred to me by Bambini Pediatrics back in December, after his mom took him to multiple doctors and dermatologists over a course of 6 years for this rash that he had on his chest, face, ears, arms and legs that never went away. He also complained of constant headaches and tummy aches and hip pain. They had tried multiple medications, steroids and creams and there were never any changes.

By figuring out the root cause, I was able to help him, and today he came into my office RASH FREE and no complaints of any head, hip or stomach pain whatsoever.

When we are able to figure out the cause, and remove the things that are making us ill, healing will take place.

The Maker’s Journey-

I didn’t set out to build an apothecary.
I set out to heal.

Long before there were shelves of jars and drawers of herbs, there was a quiet knowing that the body holds wisdom and that healing isn’t something we chase, but something we remember. Hudson River Homeopathy & Apothecary was born from that knowing.

My journey began the way many true paths do: with questions that conventional answers couldn’t satisfy. I watched people I loved struggle. I saw symptoms treated while root causes were ignored. I felt the disconnect between nature and modern life widen, and something in me refused to accept that this was the best we could do.

I began studying- not just remedies, but the why behind them. How the body communicates. How terrain matters. How imbalance whispers long before it screams. I immersed myself in homeopathy, bioenergetic testing, nutrition, detoxification, and the ancient healing traditions that understand the body as an ecosystem, not a machine.

I learned the language of plants- how hawthorn strengthens the heart gently and patiently, how mullein opens breath, how bitter herbs awaken digestion and memory at the same time. What began as personal healing became devotion.

At first, I made remedies for myself. Then for my family. Then for friends who noticed something was different- gentler, deeper, more effective. A tea blend here. A salve there. A tincture made slowly, with intention, stirred by hand and time.

People began asking for what I was making.

And so Hudson River Homeopathy & Apothecary took shape, not as a business idea, but as a continuation of care.

Every product created within the apothecary comes from the same philosophy: healing isn’t about overpowering the body, but supporting it. It’s about removing what doesn’t belong and nourishing what does. It’s about honoring cycles of the seasons, of the nervous system, of life itself.

Hudson River Homeopathy & Apothecary is a place where old wisdom meets modern understanding. Where herbs are chosen with discernment, not trends. Where remedies are crafted in small batches, with reverence for the plants, the land, and the people they serve.

This work is slow by design. It asks for patience. It invites relationship. It remembers that healing is not linear and that each person’s path is unique.

I am a maker because I am a listener.
To the body.
To the plants.
To the quiet signals that guide us back into balance.

Hudson River Homeopathy & Apothecary is not just what I do.
It’s how I walk in the world.

And I’m honored to share it with you. 🌱
