We Don't Have To Go Through Menopause The Way Mom Did!

We need to have the talk. You know the one! The one about hormones — because they do way more than just cause hot flashes. In this episode, we’re breaking down the role estrogen and progesterone play in everything from mood to memory to metabolism, and why the first signs of perimenopause are often easy to miss (until they’re not!).

Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s or beyond, understanding your hormones is one of the most powerful things you can do for your energy, your mindset and your overall well-being.

⭐Everything We're Covering⭐
