I sat down with Dr. Noor Ahmadi, a family physician and founder of Lifestyles by Noor, to bust the most dangerous myths floating around the internet about hormone replacement therapy. We both got candid about our own perimenopause journeys, the brain fog, rage, insomnia, hallucinations, and debilitating pain, and why we almost didn't recognize what was happening to us. We dig into what was actually wrong with the Women's Health Initiative study, why women are being prescribed unnecessary pharmaceuticals instead of hormones, and why lifting heavy weights is absolutely non-negotiable for every woman in midlife.
Topics Discussed:
→ What are early signs of perimenopause?
→ What did the WHI study get wrong?
→ Why are women over-medicated instead of treated?
→ Can HRT help with joint and muscle pain?
→ Is it too late to start HRT?
→ How does strength training protect women in midlife?
→ What causes perimenopause rage and mood changes?
