Today on the show, I am talking to Dr. Alyssa Dweck, who is a practicing gynecologist and the chief medical officer of Bonafide Womens Health Supplements. An OB GYN for over twenty-five years with a special interest in menopausal health and training in female sexual health, she’s been all over TV and magazines as a top expert in her field.
We talk a lot about low estrogen symptoms – what if you're experiencing these symptoms in your thirties? What do you need to be aware of when you're heading into perimenopause and menopause? And, where do postpartum hormone shifts fit into the equation?
We also go deep on ways to eat to help support hormone balance, hormonal replacement therapy, lifestyle triggers (good and bad), and so much more. And of course, I ask the mega question of how OB GYNs are feeling about fertility awareness method and other natural cycle tracking options gaining traction in the space.
We Chat About:
- Early or post-partum perimenopausal symptoms
- When it’s time to see a doctor
- The thyroid’s all-knowing role
