Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most misunderstood tools in women’s health, and for many, the stigma and confusion around it can delay care that could be life changing.

In this episode, Jess and Wendy sit down with Dr. Sophia Lubin, a board certified OB GYN and women’s health advocate, to break down what HRT actually is, who it can help, and how it supports insulin sensitivity during perimenopause and beyond.

They also explore why so many women, especially women of color, are dismissed when they bring up symptoms like fatigue, weight shifts, or irregular periods, and how to advocate for the support you deserve.

Whether you’re curious about HRT, navigating midlife changes, or wondering why your blood sugar has suddenly shifted, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical insights for your hormonal health journey.
