🎙️ PAUZ: Grab Life by the Ovaries
Sleep, Menopause, and What You Can Actually Do — with Dr. Andrea Matsumura

Sleep problems aren’t just “part of aging” — and during perimenopause and menopause, poor sleep can quietly drive everything from brain fog and mood changes to weight gain, cardiovascular risk, and burnout.

In this episode of PAUZ: Grab Life by the Ovaries, we’re joined by Dr. Andrea Matsumura, MD, MS, FACP, FAASM — board-certified sleep medicine physician, menopause expert, and founder of the D.R.E.A.M. Sleep Method™.

Known as the Sleep Goddess, Dr. Matsumura blends science, strategy, and soul to help women understand how hormonal shifts impact sleep — and what actually works to restore rest, resilience, and long-term health.

Together, we cover:

• Why sleep disorders are often missed or misdiagnosed in women
• How menopause changes sleep architecture and circadian rhythms
• The connection between sleep, hormones, and chronic disease risk
• Practical, evidence-based steps you can take now to improve sleep
• Why protecting sleep in midlife is foundational to healthy longevity

This is a must-listen conversation for any woman navigating midlife who’s tired of being told to “just manage stress” or “sleep when you can.”

✨ Because sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s medicine.
