✨ Take the First Step To Balance Your Hormones With My FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment!: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz

 

You’ve done everything right…scheduled a visit with your doctor, got some lab work done, maybe even filled a prescription (or two.)...

So why do you feel like you're slowly dying inside while pretending everything’s fine?

 

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or flat-out invisible in your doctor’s office—you are not alone. And you are definitely not crazy. 🙃

 

The truth is, traditional healthcare doesn’t always connect the dots when it comes to hormone imbalance in perimenopause and untreated menopause symptoms.

 

Symptoms are often managed or “medicated away” with insurance-approved quick fixes—but the real cost of perimenopause and menopause goes way beyond hot flashes and skipped periods.

 

In today's episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on what insurance covers, what it doesn’t, and why what you’re paying might be just managing symptoms… without really solving the problem.

 

In this episode you will learn:

 

✔ The emotional, physical, and financial toll of untreated menopause symptoms—and how they impact your daily life

 

✔ How much hormone imbalance really costs—and why relying on insurance is keeping women stuck

 

✔ What no one tells you about missed work days, strained relationships, and midlife burnout (until it’s too late)

 

✔ How traditional healthcare fails women in midlife—and why natural hormone support isn’t covered (but should be)

 

✔ The long-term risks of untreated hormone imbalance—and how to protect your mental and physical health

 

If you’ve ever said, ‘I’d get help if my insurance covered it…’ or ‘I can’t afford to spend any more money on this'…this episode is for you! 🎧
