Aging is inevitable, and every woman goes through menopause. But your hormonal journey and how your body responds? That’s unique to you. The problem is, a lot of what we’ve been told about menopause— even in clinics, pharmacies, and doctor’s offices—just isn’t accurate.
Traditional healthcare often treats menopause like a one-size-fits-all situation, missing the mark on the unique needs of every woman’s body.
That’s why a personalized approach isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the key to feeling your best through this transition. Hormones play a major role in shaping your menopause experience.
They don’t just impact hot flashes and mood swings; they help maintain your vision, memory, heart health, mobility, and more.
Ultimately, when hormones are properly prescribed, administered correctly, and metabolized well, many of the common side effects of menopause can be managed—or even completely mitigated.
What does traditional healthcare get wrong about menopause? How can menopausal women optimize their hormones and achieve wellness? Why do we have to take a personalized approach to hormone replacement? In this episode of The Trusted Pharmacist, I’m joined by author, speaker, and anti-aging expert Dr. Pamela Smith.
We dive into the myths and misconceptions surrounding menopause, the critical role of hormones in overall health, and why a one-size-fits-all approach to hormone replacement simply doesn’t work.
