Menopause isn't a decline - rather, it's a transition, and today's episode proves that women don't have to just "push through it."  Erin is joined by Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, a board-certified physician, to talk about two of the most talked-about tools in longevity and wellness right now: peptides and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

We talk about the symptoms women experience in peri-menopause, the myths surrounding hormone therapy, how peptides fit into the bigger picture and what safe personalized treatment can actually look like.  Listen in for a refreshing and hopeful conversation for any woman ready to feel informed and supported in their journey to menopause.

In this episode of Estrogen Dropouts, Erin and Elizabeth delve into the concept of 'the ick' in relationships, sharing personal anecdotes and discussing common triggers that lead to feelings of distaste towards partners. They explore the psychological aspects of the ick, how it can serve as a defense mechanism, and the importance of self-reflection in understanding these feelings. The conversation also touches on strategies to overcome the ick, the kitten theory regarding men's perspectives on relationships, and concludes with a light-hearted discussion about the two cups of beans a day challenge.

What does it really mean to find "closure" after a relationship ends - and is it even possible?  In this episode, we unpack the complicated idea of closure: why we crave it, how it can keep us stuck, and what genuine healing might look like instead.  Whether you've just gone through a breakup, lost a friendship, or are still haunted by unanswered questions, this conversation offers a compassionate, grounded look at moving forward when you can't tie things up neatly.

Join us for an honest, heart-centered talk about letting go - not because you got the answers you wanted, but because you chose peace over certainty.
