• The transition from surgeon to regenerative & integrated medicine
• Why we need a holistic approach to perimenopause
• What is regenerative medicine?
• What does it mean to age with radiance?
• The benefits of hormone replacement therapy in perimenopause & menopause

Today I have a lovely guest, Dr. Prudence Hall with me.

Dr. Prudence Hall started as a traditional gynecological surgeon and transitioned her career to focus on regenerative and integrated medicine.

As the founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, CA, she saw a critical need to address the problems confronting women and men experiencing the stubborn and often debilitating symptoms associated with aging.

Her practice is focused exclusively on regenerative medicine, looking into the root causes of conditions and diseases rather than simply treating symptoms. She strives to help clients achieve optimal health and actively prevent disease without the use of pharmaceutical drugs when appropriate.

As a health consultant, she strives to help clients achieve optimal well-being and actively prevent inevitable decline using proven natural, regenerative methods. She is also the author of Radiant Again & Forever.

Jill is a Registered Nurse, Women's Health Expert, and Menopause Educator who is calling B.S. on the "it's all downhill from here" narrative on aging and teaching women how to reconnect with their bodies, support themselves through pausal stages, and advocate for their well-being forever and always.

Jill believes education is the key to helping women understand their bodies, manage their health, and advocate for themselves as they age. Jill created The Beginner's Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy to help women navigate the wild ride from perimenopause through menopause and beyond. In 2022, she launched Pausing Together, an online community for women to connect, learn, and open up discussions on topics that affect "PAUSAL" women.

Jill is a medical advisory board member at the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine (IOBIM), whose mission is to improve the standard of care in menopause medicine. Jill is a frequent guest speaker and has been called upon as a "pausal" guest expert on many podcasts so I'm thrilled to have her on Perimenopause Simplified today.
