Menopause Is NOT in Your Head! What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You

Menopause Is NOT in Your Head! What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You14 jul51 min

Hot flashes. Brain fog. Weight gain. Anxiety. Exhaustion. Mood swings. Burnout.

If you've ever been told, "It's just part of mid-life," this episode may completely change the way you think about your health.

Nearly two out of three women say their healthcare provider never talked to them about what to expect during menopause. Millions of women struggle with perimenopause and menopause symptoms, yet many leave their doctor's office without answers. Research shows most women are never properly educated about menopause, hormone changes, or what to expect during midlife or before.

In this episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro welcome Dr. Sarah Secor-Jones, a board-certified physician, Navy veteran, and founder of Lesh Lifestyle, to uncover what every woman deserves to know about hormone health.

Dr. Sarah explains why estrogen influences more than 400 processes throughout the body, why hormone changes affect nearly every organ system, and why women have too often been overlooked in medical education and research.

You'll discover:

✔ Why menopause is NOT "all in your head"

✔ The real causes of brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, mood swings and burnout

✔ Why unexplained weight gain isn't simply about eating less

✔ How fluctuating hormones affect your brain, nervous system and metabolism

✔ Why hormone monitoring should begin long before menopause

✔ The difference between traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bioidentical hormone therapy
