Kymber takes a deeper look at perimenopause, aging and the complicated conversation around hormone replacement therapy. Rather than viewing menopause as an isolated hormonal transition, she explores the broader question of what a woman’s health, relationship with her body and relationship with aging looked like before entering this stage of life. She also unpacks the history of HRT, the broader effects of estrogen on the nervous system and stress response, and why addressing underlying metabolic and physiological imbalances are an integral part of the conversation.

  • Why estrogen is more than a sex hormone — and how it interacts with the nervous system and stress response
