Everyday Wellness: Midlife Hormones, Menopause, and Science for Women 35+ Ep. 444 Hormones, Histamine & Hives: What You Need to Know with Dr. Carrie Jones | Women’s Health & Hormones
Today, I am thrilled to speak with Dr. Carrie Jones to delve into the concept of the "middle pause," which refers to the transition from perimenopause to menopause. We’ll examine how lifestyle habits that were effective in women's 20s and 30s may lose their efficacy during this phase. Dr. Jones emphasizes the reduced capacity to "burn the candle at both ends" and the transition from people-pleasing to more straightforward communication. We’ll cover the behavioral impacts of hormonal changes, the significance of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the importance of adrenal health. We both stress the need for women to seek supportive healthcare providers and embrace this transitional period. Tune in!
