Dr. Google vs. The Truth: Symptoms, Solutions, and Self-Advocacy
Description
In this episode of Her Health, Her Time, Dr. Jila dives into the often-overlooked and misunderstood symptoms of perimenopause and menopause that women in their 30s and 40s may experience. From hot flashes and irregular cycles to fatigue, mood changes, and unexpected sensations like tingling or inflammation, Dr. Jila explores how these symptoms can be mistaken for stress or other conditions.
She emphasizes the importance of tuning into your body, tracking symptoms, and consulting a healthcare provider to uncover the root cause—whether hormonal, nutritional, or otherwise. Dr. Jila also shares a patient story to highlight the challenges of navigating these changes and the fear surrounding hormone therapy.
To empower listeners, she recommends two insightful books, The New Menopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver and How to Menopause by Tamsen Fadal, as valuable resources for understanding and managing this life stage.
