Your Perimenopause Game Plan with Dr Lydia Kostopoulos

In this episode, Ann Marie McQueen speaks with globally recognized strategist Dr Lydia Kostopoulos, whose work spans emerging technology, national security, and macrotrends. But it’s her deep interest in human performance and healthy aging that brings her into the perimenopause conversation.

Lydia shares her experience preparing for this life phase with intention, data, and strategy – including a military-style “perimenopause game plan”. Through her Project N of 1 series and personal research, she’s built a unique, highly organized approach to symptom tracking, risk assessment, and hormone therapy prep – while emphasizing emotional and psychological resilience.

What we cover:
• Why Lydia created her Perimenopause Game Plan series as part of Project N of 1
• Her strategic approach to tracking symptoms, health data, and preparing for hormone therapy
• Insights from interviewing women across generations, disciplines, and cultures
• Why mental and emotional health are critical pillars of healthy aging

Quote:
“If you don’t know you have choices, then you never had a choice.” – Dr Lydia Kostopoulos
