44. Dr Kourtney Sims does not want you sliding down a wall
Manage episode 342698828 series 3011667
Dr Kourtney Sims has an unusual combination of skillsets when it comes to menopause, and has really dedicated her continuing education post-medical school to understanding this transition. The Texas-based, North American Menopause Society-certified obstetrician-gynecologist is also an herbalist, a yoga teacher, and a functional integrative women's health advocate. And she's chief medical advisor to Phenology, which is a new US company led by former Silicon Valley executive Jess Graham aimed at offering relief and guidance to women through supplements and rescue remedies.
Highlights:
- What MDs learn about menopause in medical school
- The lack of oversight of menopause treatment
- How the system works in the UK (hint: it’s driven by pharma)
- Her take on the “menopause is a disease” narrative
- The holistic, energetic, ritual-based view of menopause
- Do worse symptoms mean larger health problems?
- Menopause hormone therapy, disease prevention, longevity and antiaging
- HRT + the individual
- Why other countries are doing research on herbs and not the US
- 2 good herbs you may not have heard of for sleep + hot flashes
- Tracking perimenopause by testing progesterone levels
- What the women she sees who have an easier time have in common
