Welcome to a brand new episode of The Best Life Code with Dr. Rudy! In today’s show, we’re tackling an important and often overlooked topic: women’s health and menopause. With menopause finally stepping into the spotlight — thanks, in part, to advocates like Oprah Winfrey — Dr. Rudy dives deep into why this life stage has been shrouded in taboo for so long, its major symptoms, and the power of proper hormone therapy.

Drawing on both medical expertise and personal experience, Dr. Rudy breaks down the science, the myths, and the life-changing impact of supporting women through the menopausal transition. Expect insights on how hormones affect everything from brain health to metabolism, why bioidentical hormone therapy is critical, and practical advice on self-advocacy plus a candid discussion about the societal and medical gaps in menopause care.

Whether you’re a woman approaching midlife, someone supporting the women in your life, or just interested in health empowerment, this episode delivers expert guidance, compassion, and a call to change the conversation around menopause for good. Let’s break the silence and help every woman not just survive, but truly thrive through this transition.
