Ep. 66 - BHRT and Thriving Through Perimenopause and Menopause

If you are over the age of 35 or within a few years of 35, this episode is for you!

Dr. Stephanie Cowie is back on the podcast today for a deep-dive conversation on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and its powerful connection to women’s mental health, aging, and overall wellness during perimenopause and menopause.

In this episode, we unpack the difference between BHRT and synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and why that distinction really matters. We also discuss the major gap in traditional medical training when it comes to supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, and how that impacts the kind of care many women receive. 

Hormonal shifts can begin as early as age 35, with symptoms often peaking in the late 30s to early 50s. Dr. Cowie emphasizes the importance of starting BHRT at the right time, and breaks down what to expect from a thorough intake, lab testing, and symptom monitoring process when exploring your options.

I hope this conversation empowers you to feel more informed, supported, and hopeful as you move through perimenopause and postmenopause.
