What We Discuss In This Episode:

Think menopause is all about hot flashes and hitting 50? Think again.

In this fired-up episode of Tea & Truth, we’re tackling the myths, half-truths, and downright misinformation that too many women are still hearing — even from their doctors.

 Here’s the thing: most medical training includes less than 4 hours on menopause. That means countless women are told their symptoms are “just aging,” “all in your head,” or dismissed entirely. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s really going on in your hormones, your body, and your mind during this powerful life stage.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why menopause is not a single moment at age 50 — and how perimenopause can start in your late 30s or early 40s.
  • The truth about hormones: it’s not just estrogen — progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and insulin play big roles too.
  • Why “normal” labs don’t always mean optimal health — and the tests you should be asking for.
  • How to support your energy, mood, and body naturally so you don’t just “deal with it,” you thrive.

 Bonus myths busted: from hormone therapy fears to the damaging lie that menopause makes you less feminine or attractive.

 Actionable Tips You Can Start Today:

  1. Track your cycle, symptoms, and energy to spot patterns early.
  2. Balance your blood sugar for steadier mood, weight, and energy.
  3.  Advocate for a full thyroid panel and optimal lab ranges.
  4.  Prioritize lifestyle foundations: sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management.
  5.  Reframe your mindset — menopause is not an ending, it’s a transformation.

 

Final takeaway?

You are not broken. You are becoming. Midlife isn’t when your light fades — it’s when you shine brighter, more authentically, and more powerfully than ever.
