Manage episode 435166501 series 3586654
In this insightful episode of "Embrace the Change: A Menopause Journey," we dive deep into the essential hormones that play a crucial role in women's health. From estradiol and progesterone to testosterone and cortisol, we'll explore how these hormones influence everything from reproductive and sexual function to bone health and stress response. You'll also learn about DHEA, pregnenolone, and thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), which are vital for metabolism and overall well-being.
We'll discuss common hormonal challenges, including imbalances and their effects, as well as the changes that occur during menopause. Plus, we'll touch on the important topic of contraception and how hormonal interactions can impact your health.
Join me as we navigate this complex but empowering subject, backed by trusted sources like Swisshealthmed's hormone tests, and contraception tools from Trackle and Lady-Comp.
At the end of the episode, you can access a full transcript to revisit the information covered.
Thank you for tuning in and special thanks to my family for their unwavering support. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we’ll delve into hormone replacement therapy. Until then, take good care of yourself!
