The Hormone Red Flags Most Doctors Overlook in Women During Perimenopause and Menopause - 1252

Hormones start shifting way earlier than anyone tells us, and for most women over 35 that sneaky change can make you feel like you are aging in fast-forward. This episode breaks down the hormone symptoms most doctors overlook and explains what is actually happening with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when you suddenly have brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, low libido, or sleep that goes off a cliff. Chalene also clears up the outdated fears around hormone therapy and shares the updated science every woman needs, plus simple natural hormone support options if HRT is not your thing. And if you have ever felt dismissed or confused by conflicting advice, you will hear exactly how to find a clinician who actually understands women's hormone health so you can age powerfully instead of feeling unlike yourself.
