The Perimenopause Episode Every Woman Needs to Hear with Alannah Connealy

This week, host Nicole Hombrebueno Demare is joined once again by a beloved returning guest—Alannah Connealy, founder of Raena Health. If you’ve listened before, you know Alannah brings wisdom, heart, and serious knowledge to the table—and today’s conversation is no different.

This episode is all about perimenopause: what it is, when it starts, and how to actually know if you’re in it (or just overwhelmed by life). Together, Nicole and Alannah unpack why this phase of life has been so misunderstood, and how we can approach it with more curiosity, empowerment, and holistic support.

We cover:

The early (and surprising) signs of perimenopause

Why your mood, memory, sleep, and even joints might be shifting

Alannah’s top 3 ways to minimize symptoms naturally

How lifestyle, stress, and genetics all play a role

The importance of testing—and what labs are actually helpful

The ALL Method from Raena Health and how it supports women through this transition

How to navigate emotional lows and rekindle your spark

Why perimenopause isn’t just something to “survive”—but a phase that can be deeply transformative

Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, this conversation is full of honest insights, practical tools, and hopeful perspective. Because you deserve to feel grounded, seen, and supported through every season of womanhood.
