Description

Hot flashes, mood swings, low energy, weight gain… if you’ve ever wondered whether Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) might be right for you, this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down what HRT really is, who might benefit from it (hello perimenopause, menopause, and even andropause!), the key symptoms that could mean your hormones are out of balance, and the differences between synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones, prescription vs. over-the-counter options, and the various forms HRT can come in.

We’ll also cover how long people typically stay on hormone therapy and what to consider before starting. Whether you’re curious about your own health, supporting a loved one, or just want to feel informed, this episode will leave you with a clear, real-world understanding of HRT—minus the medical jargon.
