The Betty Rocker Show

• In perimenopause, the 5-10 year period before our cycle stops entirely (menopause) it might feel like all the things that used to work for you don't work anymore, and your body just isn't responding like it used to. As our estrogen and progesterone levels begin to get off balance and decline, it has a big impact on our recovery, our body temperature, sleep, body fat, muscle and so much more. Today I'm exploring the strategies you can use to mitigate some of these symptoms, build more strength and lose body fat, support a healthy gut microbiome and so much more!

Today I'm having a conversation with my pal, Dr. Shawn Tassone, MD, PhD who is double board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and uses an integrative approach to help his (primarily female) patients. He’s in practice in Austin, TX and is a hormone specialist, author, speaker, highly rated patient advocate, and creator of an integrative hormone mapping system, which you can use yourself in his popular book “The Hormone Balance Bible.”

We're talking about birth control, hormone health, and how to get help rebalancing your hormones when they get out of whack - plus, dealing with doctors who don't believe you, aren't supportive and don't listen (how are we even paying people who act like this!).

And, we're getting into Essure and other medically implanted devices, and the issues they may pose to our hormone health. As I shared on social media, I had to have my Essure device removed due to complications and pain, and went to Dr. Tassone for the surgery. We get into my experience, and the dirty truth behind how this device was approved, then quietly removed from the market - plus potential concerns with this, and other medical devices.
