Should I Take Hormones?

ABOUT THE EPISODE

In this episode, I dive deep into the evolving conversation around hormone therapy—where we’ve been, where we are, and where we need to go. If you’ve been confused, scared, or unsure about hormones, this one’s for you. I break down the myths, share the science, and explain why education—not fear—should drive our health decisions.

I talk about the crucial difference between vaginal and systemic hormones, the benefits of both, and why so many women are missing out simply because they’ve never been properly informed. I also touch on the role of GLP-1 medications, not just for weight, but as part of a broader discussion around midlife health.

We also get into the realities of perimenopause—what’s normal, what’s not, and how to stop dismissing symptoms as “just aging.” I explain why hormone therapy isn’t just about hot flashes—it’s a longevity and quality-of-life tool. The truth? Living decades post-menopause without hormones can come with real risks. But with the right education, you get to choose what’s right for you.
