In this episode…
Most women don’t hear this from their doctors, but low hormones can quietly wreck your sleep, drain your energy, and seriously mess with your brain, bones, and mood.
Dr. Tami Meraglia joins us to talk about what really happens when estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone start to decline and why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) isn’t just about easing hot flashes.
This episode covers it all—from waking up at 3 a.m. for no reason to losing muscle no matter how hard you work out or feeling more irritable than usual and not knowing why.
Dr. Tami breaks down the research, the risks, and the real-life signs your hormones might be out of whack, even if your labs look “normal.”
Key discussion points…
- Dr. Tami’s background in hormone therapy
- Myths about hormone replacement therapy
- Progesterone benefits and sleep
- Estrogen’s role in bone health and heart health
- Estrogen for muscular function
- Weight gain and hormonal imbalance
- Testosterone benefits for women
- Cortisol steal and DHEA
- Toxins that affect women’s hormones
Our brains literally shrink in size during menopause because of the lack of estrogen. Estrogen is so, so important for so many reasons.
