The Perimenopause Solution Podcast

Tara Thorne holds a stack of certifications (FDN-P, RHN, FNC, CMRCP) and she puts them to work in a show that's refreshingly no-nonsense. With 154 weekly episodes, The Perimenopause Solution Podcast zeroes in on the practical side of navigating hormonal changes — what's actually happening in your body, what works, and what's just noise. Thorne has a knack for picking topics that feel urgently relevant. Recent episodes tackled progesterone intolerance (a real thing that gets dismissed constantly), why cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women and what perimenopause has to do with it, and a pointed take on vitamin D supplementation that challenges the conventional wisdom. She also did an episode called "The exact and only way to lose weight" that managed to be specific without being gimmicky. The format is mostly Thorne talking directly to you, which works because she's clear and organized. She doesn't ramble. Episodes tend to be focused on a single topic, breaking it down into what the research says, what she's seen in her practice, and what you can actually do about it. There's a confidence in her delivery that some listeners love — her 4.8-star rating from 41 reviews backs that up — though she does occasionally reference her signature course. It's not heavy-handed, and the free content is genuinely substantial. If you're in your late 30s or 40s and starting to notice things shifting but can't get a straight answer from your GP, Thorne's direct style might be exactly what you need.
