This episode comes straight from my own lived experience of spiraling before doctor’s appointments and feeling dismissed when it comes to hormones. I dig into why so many hormone providers get it wrong and what’s actually happening behind those rushed, frustrating conversations. Why does advocating for ourselves feel so hard?

I walk you through what most doctors are (and aren’t) trained to do when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. How much of this is about lack of education versus lack of time? And how do you stop blaming yourself when you’re told your labs are “normal,” but you feel terrible?

We also talk about what good hormone care should actually look like, no matter where you get it. What questions should you be asking? What red flags should make you pause—or run? And how can you walk into your next appointment calm, confident, and clear instead of anxious and second-guessing everything?

In this episode, we uncover:

• Why so many women feel dismissed or gaslit during hormone-related doctor visits.
• How to approach hormone conversations without feeling awkward, emotional, or intimidated.
• What good hormone care actually includes beyond “your labs look normal.”
• How to spot red flags and green flags in hormone providers and clinics.
• Why understanding hormones changes your confidence and long-term health outcomes.
