For more than 25 years, Dr. Janette Gray has been helping patients navigate hormone health—long before hormone therapy, peptides, and longevity medicine became everyday conversations. As an Internal Medicine physician and founder of Perfect Balance Health, she's spent decades helping patients look beyond "normal aging" to uncover potential root causes of symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, poor sleep, and low energy.
In this episode of Wellness After 40, Dr. Gray shares what more than two decades of clinical experience has taught her about hormones, healthy aging, metabolism, and longevity. We discuss how hormone health may influence overall well-being, why midlife symptoms deserve a closer look, and how to think critically about today's conversations around hormone therapy.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why aging and decline aren't necessarily the same thing
- Common misconceptions about hormones and healthy aging
- Fatigue, brain fog, low libido, and when symptoms deserve further evaluation
- Hormones, metabolism, and why weight gain in midlife is more complex than calories alone
- How the conversation around hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has changed over the last 25 years
- What longevity really means—and the habits that matter most
- Practical first steps for improving your health as you age
