Today Marie Hoag joins me on the show to discuss controversial topic of hormone therapy. Marie is a clinical hormone coach of 20 years specializing in perimenopause and menopause hormone balancing and menopause prevention.

I was eager to learn more about Hormonal Replacement Therapy (bio-identical vs conventional) from someone who has vast clinical experience and stays up with the latest research, which we know is lagging in the area of women's health, particularly hormonal health. 

Marie deepened the discussion well beyond bio-identical vs conventional, starting with her own struggles beginning at puberty. Those mood changes and painful periods back then were a harbinger of more serious issues to come! 

Takeaways: 

  • Depression is a side effect, not an illness
  • Women need estrogen through all stages of life
  • Why hormonal fluctuations can put your entire life off track 
  • Hormonal disruptions are not inevitable for women
  • Low estrogen leads to lifelong depressive issues, including higher rates of postpartum depression
