Summary

Are you ready to shatter the myths surrounding menopause and take control of your hormonal health at ANY age? The truth is, the medical establishment has—and continues—to overlook viable holistic treatments for women in midlife, especially when it comes to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). The focus has always been on symptoms—NOT the root cause. But that’s all about to change. Meet Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps. Two experts on a mission to help women educate themselves, advocate for their health, and seek out medical practitioners who can help. I sat down with Kristin and Maria to discuss the benefits and complexities of HRT, especially the critical roles that progesterone and estrogen play in maintaining your long-term health. We also shared simple solutions to ward off serious conditions, like cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline. This episode is packed with invaluable information that every woman should hear—whether you’re just beginning to experience hormonal changes or are well into menopause. Tune in and learn how to thrive—into your 60s, 70s, and beyond! IN THIS EPISODE The common myths about menopause that are holding women back The critical roles of progesterone and estrogen in women’s health Why the current medical approach to menopause needs to change The benefits of hormone replacement therapy beyond symptom relief The importance of starting HRT sooner rather than later How to find a medical practitioner who truly understands women’s health The powerful impact of advocating for your own health during menopause View the podcast page here: https://drmariza.com/episode597 RESOURCES MENTIONED Check out Maria and Kristen's new book: The Great Menopause Myth Stay tuned for more information on how to register for my FREE Thriving in Perimenopause and Menopause Summit!
