Perimenopause and hormone therapy: what you REALLY NEED to know.

 

This is PART TWO of my conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims. Episode 310 was PART ONE - get it here.

 

In this episode:

  • Revisiting Zone 2 cardio and why it's not optimal for perimenopausal women (but great for men) - we talked a lot about this in Part 1!
  • The average age of perimenopause and what to expect in terms of symptoms
  • Introduction to hormone replacement therapy ... and why we're calling it "menopause hormone therapy" going forward
  • What to do about loose skin and lack of muscle tone
  • Treating vasomotor symptoms (eg hot flashes and night sweats) with SSRIs, antihistamines and metformin
  • The possibility of using adaptogens to minimize symptoms
  • Three things every woman should be doing RIGHT NOW

 

By understanding our options, finding the right support, and making lifestyle changes, we can navigate this phase with grace and vitality!
