Episode 137: Hormones and Menopause: What You Need to Know

Midlife Mavericks - Living Life Happy, Healthy, Sexy & Strong

Has your doctor ever discussed testing your hormone levels? For that matter, have they discussed much around perimenopause or merely offered an anti-anxiety drug?

That's the case for most women.

In this episode I'm speaking with Linda Stephens, a nutritionist, personal trainer and coach for women in midlife. She's developed a comprehesive six week program taught virtually, Midlife Mastery, that educates wome on how their bodies change in midlife. The program covers science-backed data for hormone balance, longevity, mood, libido, and weight loss.

Some of the things we discussed:

• Why doctors don't discuss testing your hormone levels and why you need to advocate for yourself.
• What questions you should be asking your doctor.
• Exactly what blood tests you should have done.
• The most important vitamins for midlife women.
• The facts about hormone replacement therapy.

Linda has a pdf check list of what we should be looking for
