    Ep 04: Self-Aware is the New Self-Care: Navigating the Overlap Between Menopause and Stress
    May 30 2024
    Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of modern womanhood? Women are often told that we can “have it all”, but the truth is that constantly chasing perfection leads to burnout and feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy.

    As we approach midlife, the lines between stress and perimenopausal symptoms really start to blur, leaving us feeling lost and totally unsure of which factors are truly influencing our well-being.

    In this episode, I’m exposing the hidden challenges faced by women trying to balance competing priorities and societal expectations. Together, we’ll debunk the myth of busyness as a symbol of success and embrace the transformative power of self-awareness as the foundation of genuine self-care.

  • Ep 03: Breaking Down the WHI Hormone Therapy Trials

    Ep 03: Breaking Down the WHI Hormone Therapy Trials
    May 16 2024

    Ever since the first Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) findings were announced in 2002, women have been led to believe that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is unsafe. The premature halt of estrogen-progestin therapy due to safety concerns resulted in a significant decline in HRT use, leaving many women to needlessly abandon a treatment that offered symptomatic relief from severe menopausal symptoms.

    In today's episode, we're diving deep into the WHI hormone therapy trials. We'll explore the key questions the trials aimed to answer, delve into the study's design, and dissect the findings from both the estrogen and progesterone arm and the estrogen-only arm. Additionally, we'll examine the conclusions drawn from the study, recent revisions to those conclusions, and emphasize the urgent need for further research in this area of women's health.

    Join me as we unravel the complexities of the WHI study and uncover the truths behind hormone replacement therapy.

    May 7 2024
    Are you feeling left in the dark about your body's natural aging process? Many women feel lost when it comes to understanding the changes their bodies go through as they age. And when symptoms are brushed off by healthcare professionals, it can leave you feeling powerless.

    But now is the time to reclaim the power and autonomy over our bodies! In this episode, I’m exploring the natural history of aging in women. Although we’ll discover that Mother Nature isn’t exactly a feminist, we can still arm ourselves with the right knowledge to help us confidently advocate for ourselves when we meet with our healthcare providers.

    Listen in to learn more about:

    • The hormone changes that happen throughout the course of your lifetime and their impact on your body
    • Why midlife brings about certain hormonal shifts and what symptoms to expect
    • The metabolic changes that start to happen when we hit midlife

    Welcome to the very first episode of Reset Recharge, a podcast dedicated to women's health and empowerment. As an endocrinologist deeply passionate about women's well-being, I consider this podcast a love letter to women's health, inspired by my own experiences and the stories of countless women facing health challenges.
