(M) The Hidden Dangers of Hormone Imbalance with Anna Garrett

Why do some women thrive during perimenopause while others struggle with anxiety, insomnia, or weight gain?

How do estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone impact your energy, mood, and overall health?

And what’s the difference between synthetic, bioidentical, and compounded hormone treatments?

In this episode of The Courage To Be™,Dr. Anna Garrett, a hormone health expert and pharmacist, explains what every woman should know about perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy. She breaks down how hormone levels fluctuate, why testing is key, and which treatment options—like estrogen patches, progesterone creams, and testosterone therapy—might work best for different symptoms.

She also shares a surprising anecdote about how women often don’t rub progesterone cream long enough, leading to fat tissue buildup and unwanted side effects—an important lesson for anyone using over-the-counter treatments.

Dr. Garrett addresses common concerns, including the connection between hormones and bone health, libido, and weight gain, and why personalized care is essential. If you’ve ever felt confused about hormone therapy or frustrated by mixed messages in healthcare, this episode will help you make informed choices.
