Most women in midlife feel exhausted, and fluctuating hormones certainly plays into that via impacting neurotransmitters, energy production and disrupting sleep from symptoms like night sweats. However, HRT is merely one piece of that puzzle. It's important to look at a bigger picture not just in terms of hormones and deficiencies but also how much this time of life and the transitions we go through impact our emotional well-being. It can be a rough transition, this episode will help.
