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.
In this short and to-the-point episode, Claudia gives tough love to help you STOP making excuses, putting everyone & everything else before you, and settling for mediocre care and health. Because you deserve to feel good in your perimenopausal years - and beyond.
Today I’m talking about your changing gut in perimenopause. As you head into your 40s, you may notice you have more bloating, constipation, acid reflux, burping, diarrhea, and stinky gas. As if we don’t have enough to deal with in peri, those seemingly innocent, quiet farts can be quite lethal to those around us.
My fellow THR coach and partner in crime, Tonya Romano and I sit down to discuss the her insights and personal experience on perimenopause and menopause. She speaks to how she's personally witnessed The Hormone Rescue supporting women during this transitional, (and sometimes chaotic) period in their life.
Our sleep is so important but it can be tricky, especially as our hormones decline. In this episode, I chat with sleep coach, Morgan Adams on why so many women in midlife suffer from poor sleep and what they can do to help manage and better optimize their sleep.
What if somebody - let’s say a trained, experienced healthcare professional - could explain hormones for menopause in a way that anyone could understand? Steve Goldring has been a licensed pharmacist in Utah and Colorado for over 30 years. Also known as "The Hormone Pharmacist", Steve has spent most of his career talking with women about hormones over the pharmacy counter.
