This conversation lit me up in the best way.

I sat down with Dr. Vikram Talaulikar—reproductive endocrinologist, menopause specialist, researcher and co-founder of The Menopause Clinic London (UK), and one of the most evidence-based, grounded voices in this space.

This conversation goes deep into what's really going on in perimenopause and menopause.

We talk about:

✨ The actual hormone changes during perimenopause (hint: it's not just estrogen!)

✨ Why so many women (and doctors!) are still confused about HRT in 2025

✨ Bioidentical vs. compounded hormones—what's safe, effective, and evidence-based

✨ What the research really says about breast cancer risk

✨ And how YOU can walk into your doctor's office with the language, tools, and confidence to advocate for your own hormone health.

✨ How to find the best combination of hormone therapy for you

Whether you're already on hormone therapy, curious about starting, or navigating symptoms and wondering WTF is going on—you're going to get so much clarity, validation, and actionable advice here.

This one is a must-listen. I wish every woman (and doctor) could hear it. 💛
