This Hormone Specialist Has Something To Say About Sexual Rejuvenation In Menopause (The Best of the Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 53)
“What the hell is happening to me?” was what I said when menopause hit me. Going through the symptoms can be a lonely journey especially if you don’t know where to start or how to manage them. The body has the ability to heal itself and since balancing hormones is an industry belief, I don’t want to brush off some women who can't take hormones, because it’s possible to get balanced by making lifestyle changes. And yet hormone replacement therapy is a fantastic option especially if your doctor understands and recommends a treatment plan based upon your story.
