She clarifies why symptoms can appear even with regular periods, how to distinguish hormone‑driven changes from burnout, and why tracking patterns is so powerful.
Dr Uppal also shares lifestyle foundations, workplace adjustments and evidence‑based options so women can seek help early, ask for empathy, and see midlife as a phase to recalibrate—not a decline.
