The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
Welcome to the very first Hormone Hotline episode of The Hormone Solution!

The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
This episode comes straight from my own lived experience of spiraling before doctor’s appointments and feeling dismissed when it comes to hormones.

The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
Have you’ve tried everything from protocols, to supplements, to experts and the healing still hasn’t happened? Why do so many of us stay stuck despite doing “all the right things”? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Navaz Habib, aka "The Vagus Nerve Doc," to explore what might be missing. What if the real issue isn’t another diagnosis, hormone imbalance, or gut protocol? What if it’s your nervous system itself? I share my own journey of chasing answers and why discovering the vagus nerve made me question everything I thought I knew about healing. Why does stress seem to override...

The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
I’m diving into why waiting until menopause to address hormones can be an incredibly costly mistake for so many women. Why are we told to “wait it out” when symptoms often start years earlier? And what’s really happening inside our bodies long before our periods stop? I walk through the often-missed perimenopausal years and explain why this phase matters more than most of us realize. What if heavy periods, anxiety, weight gain, or insomnia aren’t things you just have to tolerate? Could early hormone shifts be driving them? We also explore timing, myths, and fears around hormone...

The Hormone Solution | Perimenopause, Menopause, HRT, Weight Loss & Women’s Midlife Health
I’m sitting down with microbiome expert Kiran Krishnan to explore a question I see come up all the time: why do hormones sometimes stop responding the way they used to? But what if the real issue isn’t your hormones at all, rather what’s happening in your gut? In this episode, we dig into the powerful gut-hormone connection. How can gut bacteria influence estrogen metabolism, inflammation, weight gain, and even mood? Why do so many women struggle more during perimenopause and menopause despite “doing all the right things”? We also talk about why hormone therapy sometimes backfires,...

It’s time to say goodbye to 2025, so let’s get real about a year that looked successful for me on the outside, but sometimes felt like a reckoning on the inside.
