579: Hormone Replacement Options and Hormone Testing for Women in Midlife + Self Advocacy for Optimal Health with Esther Blum

Women should NOT be made to feel bad about wanting something better, right? 

That’s the case when it comes to hormones and hormonal birth control. 

Unfortunately– there’s a lot of fear and uncertainty that women– and even their doctors– have around hormone replacement and hormone options. 

Some doctors are still stuck in thinking that hormones like estrogen are dangerous. So my goal is to empower you to find a provider willing to listen to you– because hormone replacement can be CRUCIAL as you reach perimenopause and menopause!

In this podcast, expert researcher and educator Dr. Hill opens the door to learning more about our bodies as women, hormones, and beneficial options for our health.
