Have you been told by your doctor that "your labs are normal" and everything is fine, but you still feel like garbage? And things are just not adding up. You're feeling dismissed, stressed and/or confused about what your body truly needs in perimenopause and menopause…then this episode is for you.

We cover:

Why menopause care is failing women, and how to stop medical gaslighting in its tracks
The truth about fueling in midlife, including how many calories we really need
Why early HRT can be foundational for muscle, bone, and even GLP-1 effectiveness
The role of stress, cortisol, and thyroid function in weight gain and insomnia
When surgery is and isn't an option for fibroids or adenomyosis
