In this week’s episode of The Wellthy Healthy Life, Nicole sits down with Dr. Sarah Daccarett, a hormone specialist and anti-aging expert, for a powerful and eye-opening conversation about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — what it is, why it’s often misunderstood, and how it can truly change women’s lives.
Dr. Daccarett breaks down:
The real reasons women’s hormones decline as early as their 30s — and why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and weight gain often go misdiagnosed.
The difference between oral, patch, and vaginal hormone therapies and which forms are most effective and safest for long-term health.
Why estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all matter — and how balancing them can improve mood, metabolism, sleep, skin, and even longevity.
The myths around estrogen and the outdated fear of HRT that still dominates traditional medicine.
Why women shouldn’t have to wait until menopause to take control of their hormones — and how early intervention can support healthy aging and prevention.
Nicole and Dr. Daccarett also discuss the gender gap in medical care, the systemic lack of hormone education in conventional medicine, and how her company, Inner Balance MD, is changing the game for women through accessible, evidence-based care available in nearly all 50 states.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by a provider, struggled with perimenopause symptoms, or wondered whether hormones could help you feel like yourself again — this episode is a must-listen.
