HRT & GLP-1 Q&A: Progesterone Problems, Hair Loss, Weight Gain, and More
The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
What do you do when you finally start HRT and instead of feeling amazing, you feel exhausted, puffy, bloated, or like something is just not right? Or you start a GLP-1, lose weight, and suddenly your hair starts falling out? Today’s episode is another listener Q&A, and we are getting into the real-life questions women are asking when hormone therapy, thyroid treatment, weight-loss peptides, and menopause symptoms do not fit neatly into a textbook. We talk about progesterone intolerance, oral versus topical progesterone, when estradiol may still be too low even though your doctor says...

GLP-1s and Menopause: What Every Woman Over 40 Needs to Know
The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
You cannot open your phone anymore without hearing about Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, retatrutide, and before-and-after transformations. One person says GLP-1s are the greatest thing ever. Another says they are going to destroy your health. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle. In this episode, I break down GLP-1s specifically through the lens of perimenopause and menopause, because midlife women are dealing with a completely different metabolic landscape. Estrogen is changing. Muscle is easier to lose. Insulin sensitivity may be shifting. Sleep is falling apart. Belly fat is...

Estrogen Dominance Explained: What Every Woman on HRT Needs to Know
The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
If you are taking HRT, it is not enough to only ask how much estrogen you are using. You also have to ask a second question: how well is your body actually processing and clearing that estrogen? In this episode, I sit down with David Roberts and John Gilday from Mara Labs to unpack estrogen metabolism, estrogen receptors, environmental hormone disruptors, detoxification pathways, and why the conversation around “estrogen dominance” is often way too simplistic. We talk about the difference between having high estrogen and having estrogen that is not being metabolized efficiently, especially...

In this episode, I sit down with Debbie Potts to talk about what may actually be happening when healthy habits become unhealthy stressors. We get into the connection between the nervous system, metabolism, hormones, muscle, recovery, under-fueling,...

Are You Actually Optimized on HRT? The Levels, Doses, and Symptoms That Matter
The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
How do you know if your HRT is actually optimized? Not just enough to stop a hot flash, but enough to support your bones, brain, mood, metabolism, sleep, sexual health, and overall quality of life? In this episode, I break down one of the most confusing parts of hormone replacement therapy: dose, levels, and symptom response. Because the old-school advice to simply use the lowest dose possible until your symptoms disappear does not tell us the whole story. At the same time, more is absolutely not always better. We dig into what the research actually tells us about estradiol dose and brain...

The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
Something happened after my conversation with Natalie Jill on her podcast, Midlife Conversations. Women flooded my inbox and my community, not with questions about dosing or side effects, but with something closer to relief. They finally felt heard.

The Dark Side of GLP-1s No One Is Talking About
The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
Karen Martel grew up with a front row seat to diet culture most of us only felt secondhand. Her mom didn't just live it, she ran a weight loss center. Butter was called Vaseline. Popcorn was the enemy. And by her teenage years, Karen was deep in an eating disorder that would shape her relationship with food for decades. In this conversation, Karen gets honest about that history, and about something she still checks herself on today. Because here's the twist. We told ourselves we moved past the thin obsession. Body positivity was supposed to be the turning point. But somewhere in the last two...
info_outlineAlongside Jennifer Scheinman, this episode is exploring the critical role mitochondria play in our aging process, especially during menopause. We’ll discuss how mitochondrial health impacts our energy levels and the promising benefits of Urolithin A for muscle endurance. We’ll also be covering the importance of protein intake, resistance training, and the connection between skincare, supplements, and overall health. Jennifer's insights provide a holistic approach to maintaining vitality and optimizing health as we age.
In this episode:
- How mitochondria influence women's energy and aging, particularly during menopause.
