Intro Hook:Think menopause is just about estrogen dropping? Think again. In this episode of Healthcare Rewritten, Dr. Lena and Dr. Collin uncover why your adrenals, thyroid, gut, and even blood sugar control the story—and why hot flashes, mood swings, and weight gain aren’t “just part of aging.”

• Busting the myth: “Black Cohosh fixes hot flashes” (the truth is more nuanced)

Tangible Takeaways: By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with:✔️ Three practical shifts to balance hormones (blood sugar, adrenals, stress)✔️ A clear understanding of why fat gain in menopause is protective—not a failure✔️ How to track your hot flash triggers and identify real root causes
