Your Hormones Aren’t Broken: How To Navigate Perimenopause and Menopause
About this episode
Perimenopause and menopause can feel like a hormonal rollercoaster without a roadmap. In this episode of Treated, Dr. Sara unpacks what’s really happening behind the hot flashes, mood swings, brain fog, and more than 100 other symptoms women may face during this transition. With insights from cutting-edge research by Dr. Lisa Mosconi, she explains how shifting estrogen, cortisol, and FSH levels affect not just your body– but also your brain, memory, and long-term health.
From practical lifestyle interventions like resistance training and nutrition strategies, to nuanced conversations about bioidentical hormones, Dr. Sara offers a new user manual for navigating this stage of life.
