If you’ve started hormone replacement therapy (HRT) but still feel exhausted, anxious, bloated, moody or worse – you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m breaking down why hormone therapy alone isn’t enough for many women over 40, why it really requires a whole body, holistic approach, and what your provider may be missing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why HRT is a process - not a quick fix
• Common mistakes providers make with perimenopausal women
• How mineral imbalances and nervous system dysregulation affect HRT
• Why you may feel worse after starting hormones
• What we assess in every client before addressing hormones

Have you noticed that your ambition and motivation aren’t what they used to be? You’re not alone. Many women over 40 - even the most successful, driven, high-achieving women - find themselves feeling flat, tired, and unmotivated.

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, I break down why this happens and what you can do about it. From the powerful role hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone play in your energy and drive, to the collective burnout we’re all facing in today’s world, this conversation is about reclaiming your health, simplifying, and redefining success in midlife.

We covered:

• How perimenopause and midlife hormone shifts impact motivation, energy, and ambition

• Why low estrogen and testosterone can leave women feeling flat and disconnected

• Collective burnout: social media, world stress, and endless responsibilities

• My personal story of simplifying business, prioritizing self-care, and rethinking motivation

• Practical steps to support your hormones, redefine success, and get your drive back

What happens when you stop taking progesterone, even for just a few weeks? In this quick episode, I’m sharing my personal story of running out of progesterone, how my symptoms came rushing back, and why this hormone is so important for women in perimenopause.

You’ll learn why dosing and delivery methods matter, common signs of low progesterone, and how we help clients find a provider who actually understands women’s hormones. I covered:

• My story of running out of progesterone and the symptoms that returned

• How progesterone is the first hormone to decline after 35

• Common signs of low progesterone: mood swings, anxiety, poor sleep, heavy periods

• The pros and cons of oral, vaginal/rectal, and topical progesterone

• Why dosing matters (too low can trigger “estrogen kickback”)

• Why it’s vital to find a hormone-savvy provider who listens and prescribes appropriately
