Eps 392: Should You Take Hormones in Perimenopause w Integrative Health Practitioner Marnee Dejong

Perimenopause doesn’t have to feel like a mystery you’re meant to “just push through.”

This conversation explores what’s really happening in midlife and why so many women feel stuck between symptoms and real solutions. I’m joined by integrative health practitioner Marnee Dejong as we unpack mold toxicity, gut dysfunction, mineral depletion, and why it’s almost never “just one thing” during this phase.

We talk about functional testing (GI-MAP, DUTCH, mineral analysis), the role of hormone replacement therapy, and the growing conversation around peptide therapy; what’s helpful, what’s hype, and what should make you pause. Most importantly, we break down why foundations come first, how to think strategically about advanced tools, and how to advocate for your health without getting swept up in trends.

If midlife feels louder than it used to, this conversation will steady you. Listen now.
