05/14/24 • 67 min

Through my years in functional medicine, I’ve unfortunately found that thousands of us have been misinformed when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. And menopause expert Dr. Haver agrees.

That’s why she joins me today to dive into ALL the changes we can expect in our bodies during this midlife transition.

Even our own doctors are confused about hormonal changes during menopause, so we often feel left in the dark when dealing with symptoms.

Today, we shed light on what’s REALLY going on in your body during perimenopause and menopause.

Because we all deserve to know how our bodies work, and what this transition means for us in the long term.

From managing weight gain to fatigue to high cholesterol and more– we cover why these symptoms AREN’T just a “normal” part of aging.

Listen here to learn how to take control of your hormones, own your menopause transition, and feel empowered through every stage of life!
