578: The Far Reaching Physical and Psychological Impact of Hormones, Hormonal Birth Control and The Menopause Transition with Dr. Sarah Hill

Energized with Dr. Mariza

Women should NOT be made to feel bad about wanting something better, right?

That’s the case when it comes to hormones and hormonal birth control.

Unfortunately– there’s a lot of fear and uncertainty that women– and even their doctors– have around hormone replacement and hormone options.

Some doctors are still stuck in thinking that hormones like estrogen are dangerous. So my goal is to empower you to find a provider willing to listen to you– because hormone replacement can be CRUCIAL as you reach perimenopause and menopause!

In this podcast, expert researcher and educator Dr. Hill opens the door to learning more about our bodies as women, hormones, and beneficial options for our health.

Check out this podcast today to take charge of your hormonal health through every stage of your cycle– and your life!
