EP 54: Menopause and its Relationship with Women
Today we explore the role that hormones play in women’s lives, especially when undergoing menopause. Dr. Minni Malhorta opens the show by sharing a short anecdote about a patient of hers who was experiencing a short temper and high levels of aggression. Minni then talks about how this patient was experiencing hormonal imbalances, and how she could be unknowingly suffering from PCOS. Minni shares that women can experience fluctuating hormone levels throughout their lives, with menopause being a major factor to consider. She goes on to list a few symptoms from an extensive list, including hot flashes, night sweats, and peculiar dreams. To explain this, Minni discusses how hormones operate and what the various functions that they provide. In the latter half of the show, Minni talks about why women’s hormonal responses are as unique as fingerprints, and why each patient with a hormonal imbalance needs to be treated as such. She then goes into natural hormone replacement therapy and lists five reasons why they’re beneficial to patients. To end the show, Minni walks listeners through her mindful strategy, C-O-P-E. Be sure to tune in today!
