Your Menopause Symptoms Are NOT in Your Head: The Truth About HRT, Hormones & Misdiagnosis

You can do everything “right” and still be told your symptoms are in your head. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Christy Thozer, a menopause specialist, to break down what’s really happening during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause—and what real care should look like.

We unpack the truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), clear up the fear from outdated research, and explore how personalized treatment can support everything from symptoms to long-term health like bone and brain function. We also talk through your options—from patches and pills to local estrogen—and what actually works.

Most importantly, this is about self-advocacy. If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unheard, this conversation will help you ask better questions, seek the right support, and get the care you deserve.

If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it—and don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review.
