It's About A Lifetime of Women's Health Research with Dr. Jerilynn Prior
12/14/23 • 39 min
What we discussed:
- An endocrinologist’s explanation of both estrogen and progesterone
- Hormone health, mental health–and considerations for the role of stress in our overall health, but especially in perimenopause
- If you are going to track anything–track your menstrual cycle + both physical changes (such as breast tenderness, cramping, vasomotor symptoms) and emotional/mental health changes, such as mood. Dr. Prior explains the reasons why!
- How hormone therapy traditionally focused on estrogen without acknowledging the critical role of progesterone too
- Script tips for how to talk to your doctor about hormone replacement therapy!
- Dr. Prior’s extensive progesterone research and her life-long commitment (she celebrated her 80th birthday this year!) to her work, and her legacy related to progesterone research will continue.
