PCS And Perimenopause: What Every Woman Should Know

Episode 46
Are your concussion symptoms getting worse and you can't figure out why? If you're a woman in your 40s or 50s, hormones might be the missing piece of your recovery puzzle.
In this episode of the Concussion Fix Podcast, Nikki Fraser sits down with Dr. Paul Hrkal and Melinda Krynen Hill to unpack the complicated relationship between perimenopause, menopause, and persistent concussion symptoms (PCS). This is one of the most common questions from members of our program, and for good reason.
Here's what we cover:

How a concussion can disrupt hormone production, sometimes months or even a year later
Why perimenopause and PCS symptoms look so similar, and how to tell them apart
Simple at-home tracking strategies to see if your cycle is affecting your mood and symptoms
What hormone testing to ask for and who to see
How balancing hormones creates a "neuropermissive environment" for brain healing

Recovery is complex, and for many women, hormonal dysregulation is a layer of the onion that goes unaddressed for far too long. You deserve answers that actually account for everything your body is going through.
If this resonates, you are not alone, and recovery is absolutely possible.
