Dr. LaKeischa, a board-certified OB/GYN turned functional medicine powerhouse, joins me to expose what most doctors aren’t telling women about perimenopause, menopause, and midlife hormone chaos.

At 40, she discovered she had zero testosterone—and suddenly became the patient in her own practice. That wake-up call launched her into a new approach: advanced labs, trauma-informed care, and hormone protocols that actually work.

We break down the real reasons behind weight gain, burnout, mood swings, and mystery symptoms—and why it’s not just aging. You’ll hear how Dr. LaKeischa helps her “hormone hotties” reclaim energy, confidence, and clarity using a precision-based approach to hormone health.

From hormone imbalances to thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, to the metabolic root causes of symptoms like insulin resistance, this conversation goes beyond surface-level fixes. It’s an empowering deep dive into how functional medicine can transform how we care for women in midlife.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever been told: “It’s just menopause. Get used to it.” Spoiler: You don’t have to settle for surviving. Let’s talk about thriving—with science, soul, and strategy.
