We live in a world where convenience rules and quick fixes are everywhere-whether it's for pain, sleep, or anxiety. But when it comes to HRT, I urge you to slow down.

The truth? Many women expect instant results from HRT, but that's rarely the case.

The dosage might need tweaking.Your body might react unpredictably at first. And sometimes, what looks like a hormone issue is rooted elsewhere entirely. In this episode:

1. Why HRT Isn't a Magic Bullet: Get the lowdown on why leaning solely on HRT for symptoms like fatigue, sleep problems, or mood swings often leads to disappointment—and even more questions!

2. The Power of Foundations: Discover the critical role that sleep, movement, diet, and stress management play—before, during, and after starting HRT.

3. Trial and Error with HRT: Hear real talk about how finding the right hormone dose is a process, and why side effects are common if foundational health isn't sorted out.

4. Don't Get Trapped by "Single Solution" Thinking: Learn the pitfalls of following experts who only talk about one thing (whether that's HRT, gut health, or protein). Diversity in your approach is key!

5. Gut Health's Surprising Role: Uncover stories showing how gut health—not always hormones—is sometimes the secret culprit behind night-time bathroom trips, brain fog, and even fatigue.
