Is this perimenopause or are you just exhausted? It feels like everyone is talking about hormones and menopause right now, but with so much information (and misinformation) online, it can be hard to know what’s actually true.
On this episode of The Push Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Michelle Jacobson, MD, FRCSC, MHSc MSCP, an OB-GYN, menopause specialist, and co-founder and Medical Director of COVEN Women’s Health, for an honest, evidence-based conversation about perimenopause, menopause, HRT, fertility, weight, sex, and everything in between. Can perimenopause really start in your 30s? What are the earliest signs? Can you still get pregnant? Do you actually need to get your hormones checked? And what symptoms should make you look for another explanation?
We’re also getting into the HRT conversation! From the fear around breast cancer to the growing claims that hormones are the secret to longevity, weight loss, better skin, and preventing dementia, we're tackling it to see where the evidence actually stands.
No fear-mongering. No “one-size-fits-all” answers. Just a conversation about what we know, what we don’t, and how to make informed decisions about your health.
