In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Daccarett—renowned hormone expert and founder of Inner Balance—to unpack the truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and why so many women are misinformed or overlooked when it comes to their hormonal health.

We talk about estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA—and how a personalized, modern approach to HRT can transform how you feel in your 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Dr. Daccarett shares how her innovative product, Oestra, is shifting the narrative and helping women manage symptoms like vaginal dryness, low libido, and anxiety—all with bioidentical support that actually works.

If you're managing diabetes, navigating perimenopause, or just tired of feeling dismissed, this episode is for you.
