In this week's episode, Laurie is joined by Dr. Laura DeCesaris, a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in women’s health and wellness. Dr. Laura teaches women in perimenopause and menopause about their bodies and brains, so they can make better decisions for their health and leverage their hormones to live their best life.
In this episode, we primarily focused on hormones. We start by discussing what happens to women from a physiological perspective during perimenopause and menopause. From there, our conversation shifts to all things hormones: different types of hormone replacement therapy, the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones and why you should care, annual tests that you should be requesting to establish a good baseline of information so you and your care provider can easily spot changes, lifestyle shifts that will support our hormone health, and more.
If you’re someone who is not a good candidate for HRT, you’ll want to listen in because we talk about alternatives for you, too.
Because I had so many questions for Dr. Laura, this is the first of two episodes with her. We continue our conversation in next week's episode, which focuses on gut health, brain health, and the top 3 things midlife women should prioritize to feel and show up as their best self.
