Through personal anecdotes, we discuss the significance of recognizing these changes and balancing hormones to lead a more fulfilling life in the second half.

Dr. Zafaranchi guides us through the varied experiences women face during these stages and highlights the role of hormone therapy. We discuss the benefits and potential risks of treatments like progesterone and hormone pellets, emphasizing the importance of individualized medical advice and monitoring hormone levels. Personal stories shed light on the potential benefits and risks of these treatments, urging women to consider immediate relief against long-term health considerations.
Our conversation also brings to light modern health issues such as cancer and hormonal imbalances, often exacerbated by external factors like diet and synthetic substances.
