If you've been sitting on the hormone question, this episode is the conversation nobody's had with you.
Estrogen receptors are in your bones, brain, blood vessels, muscles, urinary tract, and skin. So when estrogen declines, changes happen that you can't feel and won't notice until much later. In this episode I walk through what estrogen is actually doing in your body, where the fear around HRT and BHRT came from, and why supplements and GLP-1 medications can't do the job women are hoping they'll do.
Perfect for women in perimenopause or menopause who are afraid of hormone therapy, confused about bioidenticals, or hoping a supplement will fill the gap.
