More Than Menopause: Dr. Jill Balla on Hormones, Healing, and Supporting Women Through Every Stage | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description:
Hot flashes, hormone therapy, GLP-1s, and the truth behind weight gain—it’s all on the table in this wide-ranging and empowering conversation between Dr. Stephanie Wautier and returning guest Dr. Jill Balla of Authentic Health in Traverse City, MI. Dr. Balla brings a functional medicine perspective to one of the most misunderstood times in a woman’s life: the menopausal transition.
Together, they unpack the real root causes behind symptoms like brain fog and mood swings, the risks and realities of hormone replacement therapy, and why the “quick fix” culture has left women more confused than ever. Whether you're curious about perimenopause, weight loss, detoxing, or just want to feel heard in a world that often ignores women’s health—this one’s for you.
