In this episode, Claudia digs into the reasons she started hormone replacement therapy, specific symptoms she was experiencing, and the difference it has made for her health, relationship, work, and overall quality of life.
Today I have my beautiful colleague and mentor Jill Chmielewski to talk about estrogen. It gets such a bad rap, but we love it and we need it!
Today we have a special guest, dental hygienist and holistic health practitioner, Amber White, to talk about oral health and your hormones. Believe it or not, there is a connection!
Do you wake up in the middle of the night drenched? Do you have to sleep with one foot hanging off the side of the bed? Do you need your own personal fan? Well, you're not alone. 80% of women experience vasomotor symptoms, known as hot flashes, flushing, and/or night sweats during the perimenopause to menopause transition.
In today’s episode, I want to dive into feminine versus masculine energy. But before you exit this page and say, “Ugh, Claudia’s gone all woo-woo on us,” please have an open mind and listen to this episode. Because if you’re a go-getter, an ambitious, successful woman, like I am, you probably really need to hear it. I believe that acting from a place of masculine energy is a big reason why we get to midlife and so many of us are freaking EXHAUSTED, because we’ve been doing so much and working against our hormones.
Today we have a very special guest, Carol Petersen, an accomplished compounding pharmacist with over 30 years of experience helping patients improve their quality of life through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. With Carol's long list of accomplishments I’m thrilled to have her on the podcast to dive into all things progesterone.
One thing I never thought about when I first started my health “journey” was how the products I was using on my skin and in my home were potentially affecting my hormones, and in turn, my health.
I hear from a lot of women who start hormone replacement therapy that they don’t feel right, they often feel worse, and they get frustrated because their provider doesn’t give them much support. And unfortunately, they get discouraged and even stop taking hormones. This is upsetting to me as I’ve found so much benefit from being on HRT, I’ve seen great outcomes with clients, and I know it can be incredibly health supportive for so many women, of course, in addition to vital food & lifestyle changes in perimenopause and beyond.
In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Jennifer Simmons, a leading Integrative Oncologist and former breast cancer surgeon, to discuss crucial aspects of breast health. Dr. Jenn is changing the narrative on how we screen, diagnose, and treat breast cancer. We dive into the prevalence of breast cancer in the U.S., the most effective screening methods, and her thoughts on the annual mammogram debate. Dr. Jenn also addresses the impact of breast cancer treatments on heart health, the role of hormones like estrogen in cancer development, and whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is safe after a breast cancer diagnosis. This conversation is packed with essential information every woman should know. Tune in to learn from Dr. Jenn's expertise and gain valuable insights into protecting your breast health.
In this episode, we covered my own essential, non-negotiable health “hacks” to help me thrive in perimenopause. These are things that I believe all humans need in order to thrive, the not-so-sexy things like supplements, testing and biohacking tools.
