Menopause Rise and Thrive | Helping Women Navigate Midlife and Menopause

97. Perimenopause & Mood Swings: Why It’s Not Just in Your Head with Dr. Sarah Daccarett


Listen Later

Feeling off balance, moody, or just not yourself? If you're struggling with brain fog, anxiety, or sleep disturbances, your hormones may be to blame—and you don’t have to just suffer through it. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Daccarett, a hormone specialist and anti-aging expert, to dive deep into how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help midlife women reclaim their energy, mood, and overall well-being.

Dr. Daccarett is on a mission to break the silence around hormone health and shift the way we think about aging. Instead of waiting until symptoms become unbearable, she advocates for a preventative approach to hormone therapy—one that helps women thrive in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. She also shares her innovative approach to hormone supplementation that ensures women get the right balance for optimal mood, sleep, and vitality.

In this episode:

  • The real reason so many women experience mood swings, anxiety, and brain fog in midlife
  • How progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone influence brain function and emotional well-being
  • Why traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) often falls short—and what to do instead
  • The best delivery method for progesterone to maximize absorption and effectiveness
  • The misinformation around hormone testing and why symptoms often tell a clearer story
  • Why women have been misled about HRT and breast cancer risks—and what the latest research actually says
  • How Dr. Daccarett’s Inner Balance approach personalizes hormone therapy for better sleep, sharper thinking, and stabilized moods
