The Nervous System Eats First
Autism Spectrum, Menopause & Beyond. A physician-led conversation about what happens when your nervous system, hormones, and identity all shift at once, and no one in medicine is prepared to talk about it.
Listen Wherever You Get Your Podcasts
Perfect for your commute, workout, or while cooking. Clinical conversations about nervous system health, perimenopause, neurodivergence, and the intersection of all three, delivered in plain language by a physician who has lived it.
The Conversations Medicine Keeps Skipping
The Nervous System Eats First exists because the standard perimenopause conversation is incomplete. It treats hormones as the whole story. It does not account for nervous system dysregulation, late-diagnosed autism, sensory processing differences, or the lived experience of women who have been masking their way through midlife while their bodies quietly fall apart. This show fills that gap, one honest clinical conversation at a time.
Nervous System & Hormones
How estrogen loss affects neurological regulation, why HRT alone is not always enough, and what the nervous system has to do with all of it.
Autism, Masking & Midlife
Late diagnosis, alexithymia, sensory overload in perimenopause, and why so many neurodivergent women hit a wall in their 40s and 50s.
Sleep, Gut & Metabolism
The three systems most disrupted by hormonal transition and why they have to be understood together, not treated separately.
