Episode #28: Functional medicine nurse practitioner Heather joins us for an enlightening discussion on navigating the complex landscape of perimenopause and menopause. Together, we unearth the pivotal role of comprehensive testing, including saliva and blood tests, to monitor critical hormone levels such as estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and stress hormones. Heather generously shares her expertise on hormone replacement therapy and lifestyle adjustments, offering valuable advice on weightlifting, dietary changes, and increasing protein intake to support health and well-being during this transformative life phase.

In a special session held at Heather's office at FICA Wellness, we address pressing listener questions about menopause and related health topics. We urge our audience to share their inquiries, promising to tackle them in upcoming episodes. Heather's contribution to the conversation is invaluable, and we express our gratitude for her insights. As we conclude, we invite listeners to continue this empowering dialogue by connecting with us on Instagram, @JK. It's Not About You, where they can submit questions and engage with our community. Join us for this informative and supportive journey towards embracing this exciting new chapter in life.
