In this episode, triple board-certified OBGYN and functional medicine physician Dr. Tabatha Barber unpacks what most women were never taught about birth control, perimenopause, and hormone replacement therapy.

We talk about:

What the birth control pill is really doing to your hormones
Why perimenopause feels harder than it “should”
Progesterone first? Estrogen later? How HRT actually gets started
Patches vs pills vs pellets - what works best (and why)
When hormone replacement helps… and when you may want to wait
How stress, toxins, and adrenal health impact your transition
The 7–10 year “window” you need to understand

If you’ve ever wondered whether HRT is necessary, dangerous, overhyped, or life-changing - this conversation is packed full of information that will help you make better decisions for yourself.
