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!
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.
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.
Today I'll cover what to expect if and when you start HRT, because so many women are scared to start, they don’t know what’s gonna happen, and quite frankly, in the online space, many tout HRT as being a “must-have” or a “silver bullet’.
