In this episode, host Mary Lee welcomes Dr. Malaika Woods, a specialist in bioidentical hormones, and integrative and functional medicine to discuss her extensive knowledge about menopause and bioidentical hormone therapy. The conversation get deep into uncovering historical misconceptions stemming from the Women's Health Initiative, highlighting that our current healthcare system is still shrouded in misunderstanding.
Dr. Wood's shares her profound philosophy that the body is a divine design, and that we all possess the self-healing potential within our body. The conversation explores further why many medical practitioners shy away from prescribing, let alone discussing hormone replacement therapy as a viable and safe option for perimenopause symptom management. BHRT aside, the role that diet, lifestyle, and stress managment play in overall health, as well as the importance of discovering the root causes of symptoms can be a game changer for many. Seeking a comprehensive assessment such as the methods Dr. Woods uses, can be a roadmap to good health and a vibrant menopause experience.
