What do you see as the biggest problem facing women's health now in 2025 that you think has the highest potential to be managed if properly diagnosed?

Great question.

The biggest health challenge is that women, we're seeing women younger and younger with lower levels of

estrogen and progesterone than ever before at a younger age. So, you know, we've recognized

the testosterone, for example, as men used to have higher testosterone as they got older in their

40s. And now younger and younger men are seeing half that levels of testosterone.

This is probably something environmental when you dive into it. But women are, we're seeing

exactly the same thing. I'll see 25-year-old women that have the levels, their hormone levels,

the same as like a 90-year-old woman. And nobody wants to think that they're, you know, we use this

word menopause and parimenopause,

and women think that just because they're having a period that everything's okay and normal with

their hormones and they're being told this by their doctors. I'm not menopausal, right? They just say

that because I'm still having a period, but we've done a disservice to women because we've defined it by the period and we should do that. Hi, I'm Dr. Sarah Dackrette,

CEO and founder of Interbalance and we do a modern, fresh take on hormone placement therapy

for women. Welcome to Ever Forward Radio. PTs are here to save the day.

More importantly, they're here to save your gut.

Because if you're like me, you've had those moments.

You eat a big meal.

You're feeling good.

And then boom, you're bloated, sluggish, and kind of wondering why your pants suddenly hate you.

You're laughing.
