Looking for relief from symptoms in perimenopause or postmenopause? I sat down with Dr. Jill Carnahan (who is my functional medicine doctor), and talked to her about the specific tests and treatment options she uses for women in the different menopause stages. We also share resources for online support with hormone balancing (in the US, the UK and AUS - see links below for CAN). The more we know, the better we can advocate for ourselves, find the support we need, and navigate our changing bodies.

We're covering….

⭐️ Why HRT is still seen as potentially problematic

⭐️ The phases of perimenopause and symptoms you might experience

⭐️ Tests for perimenopause symptoms, frequency and types

⭐️ Treatment options for symptom relief and hormone balance in perimenopause

⭐️ Who might not be a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy, and contraindications

⭐️ Testing you might benefit from in postmenopause

⭐️ Treatment options available in postmenopause for symptom relief and general health

⭐️ Considerations and contraindications for hormone balancing options for postmenopausal women

⭐️ The importance of gut health in processing hormone byproducts

⭐️Environmental factors that can disrupt our hormones

⭐️Telehealth options for women in different countries (USA, UK and Australia), see links below for Canada

⭐️Suggestions for other ways to find support
