#108-Hormones, Health & Happiness: What Every Woman Should Know Part 1
Description
Your body is sending you signals, but do you know how to interpret them? That overwhelming fatigue, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, and emotional rollercoaster might not be a midlife crisis or mental health issue—it's likely your hormones running the show.
This eye-opening episode dives deep into the world of women's hormonal health, particularly perimenopause. What makes this conversation so crucial is the shocking lack of medical education around women's hormones: 60% of OBGYNs receive little to no formal training on menopause during medical school. No wonder so many women feel dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to simply "welcome to the club" of aging.
From the science of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol to the comprehensive list of symptoms affecting everything from your sleep to your sense of self, this episode serves as both validation and education. You're not going crazy—your body is undergoing profound biological changes that deserve proper attention and care. Learn practical strategies for hormone balance, including nutrition adjustments, appropriate exercise (strength training trumps cardio during perimenopause), stress management, and when to consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Most importantly, discover how to become your own health advocate. With proper knowledge and the right specialists, you can navigate this transition without suffering through symptoms that impact your quality of life. Whether you're experiencing these changes yourself or know someone who is, this conversation provides the foundation for understanding what's happening beneath the surface and taking back control of your wellbeing. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear they're not alone—it might just change their life.
