Perimenopause: Puberty in Reverse

Dr. Kaveh Hoda is joined by OB/GYN and bestselling author Dr. Jen Gunter and esthetician Naomi Laguana to learn about perimenopause — what it actually is, why it's so misunderstood, and who's profiting from the confusion. They break down the chaos of hormone fluctuations, the Women's Health Initiative and what it really showed, why hormone testing is mostly useless for diagnosis, the dangers of pellet therapy, and how the wellness industry exploits women's legitimate grievances with the medical system. Plus: brain fog, the "grievance economy," and why menopause care might be simpler than the internet wants you to believe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
