Think it’s early perimenopause?

Before you assume hormonal decline, listen to this.

If you’re in your 30s or 40s and noticing:

• Fatigue that wasn’t there before

• Weight that won’t respond

• Workouts that feel inflammatory

• Sleep that’s lighter or fragmented

• PMS that feels stronger

You might be wondering if this is the beginning of perimenopause.

But what if it’s something else?

In this episode of Women’s Metabolism MD, Dr. Mylaine Riobé, board-certified OB-GYN and integrative physician, explains:

• The difference between ovarian decline and metabolic compensation

• Why labs can look “normal” while you feel unstable

• How stress-driven compensation patterns mimic perimenopause

• Why generic advice works for some women and backfires for others

• The six Dynamic Metabolic Types™

• Why each pattern requires a different stabilization strategy

Perimenopause is real.

But metabolic dysregulation often shows up first.

And if you misidentify compensation as hormone decline, you’ll apply the wrong strategy — and deepen the instability.

This episode is about clarity.

Because the earlier you identify your compensation pattern, the easier it is to stabilize before hormonal variability amplifies everything.

Start with the Dynamic Metabolic Type® Quiz above.

Stop guessing.

Identify your pattern.

Stabilize deliberately.

You’re disciplined.

You work out consistently.

So why are you still swollen, sore, wired, or exhausted afterward?

If your body feels more inflamed despite your workouts, this episode explains why.

For many high-achieving women, exercise isn’t the solution — it’s being layered on top of an already overloaded stress system.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The #1 workout myth that keeps women inflamed and stuck

• The most common high-achiever exercise traps

• The stability-first workout rules that lower inflammation and improve recovery

• How your Dynamic Metabolic Type (DMT) determines what workouts actually work for you

This isn’t about doing less.

It’s about stabilizing before pushing harder.

If you’re eating less, being disciplined, and doing everything you’ve been told to do—but your body is holding on harder—this episode explains why.

For many high-achieving women, eating less doesn’t lead to fat loss.

It leads to metabolic compensation.

When stress is high and fuel, recovery, or sleep are low, the female metabolism adapts by conserving energy. That can look like stubborn weight, increased inflammation, cravings, disrupted sleep, and feeling “wired but tired”—even when labs appear normal.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why eating less can cause the body to hold on harder

• How stress quietly rewrites metabolic signals

• Why “calories in, calories out” fails women under chronic stress

• How intermittent fasting and restriction can backfire in depleted patterns

• Why normal labs don’t mean your metabolism is functioning optimally

• Which metabolic patterns are most vulnerable to this response

• What actually needs to stabilize first before pushing harder

This isn’t a willpower problem.

It’s physiology.

Your hormones can be “normal” on paper… and you can still feel like something is seriously off.

If you’re exhausted even after sleeping…

If cravings hit hardest at night…

If your mood feels unpredictable…

If you’re gaining weight or holding inflammation “for no reason”…

And every lab keeps coming back “fine”…

This episode is for you.

I’m Dr. Riobé (OB-GYN + integrative physician), and I see this pattern all the time:

It’s not that your hormones are abnormal.

It’s that your metabolism is unstable—and your hormones are constantly trying to compensate.

In this episode, I’ll show you how to stop chasing random hormone fixes and start asking the real question:

“What is my metabolism adapting to that’s forcing my hormones to fluctuate?”

You’ll learn why:

• blood work often misses what’s happening inside your cells

• stress + cortisol can create metabolic chaos

• blood sugar crashes can mimic “hormone imbalance”

• thyroid patterns can still cause symptoms even in the “normal” range

• estrogen + progesterone symptoms aren’t just about levels—it’s also about regulation and clearance
