Nicki shares her personal journey through unexplained fatigue, brain fog and hormonal chaos before discovering that the root cause wasn't depression but perimenopause. From there, the conversation expands into the deeper drivers of long-term health, including gut health, chronic inflammation, the microbiome, stress physiology, immune system function and metabolic resilience.
Listeners will also discover the surprising relationship between chronic stress and hormone balance, how gut health influences aging, why muscle mass becomes critical after menopause, and practical strategies to reduce inflammation naturally.
