In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Schroeder, founder of Embrace Family Medicine and 1Self Health in Bentonville, Arkansas, breaks down what's really happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause, and why your labs can look \"normal\" while you still don't feel like yourself.\nDr. Schroeder — a physician of 25 years who's delivered babies in Panama, investigated outbreaks for the CDC, and built her own specialized practice for women — walks through the more than 60 symptoms tied to hormonal change: brain fog, hot flashes, sudden anxiety, rage, joint pain, and shifts in sleep, mood and metabolism. We talk about why so many women are told they're \"too young,\" why menopause research still lags behind, and what it actually looks like to move from a paternalistic model of medicine to true shared decision-making with your doctor.\nThis conversation is for every woman who's said \"I just don't feel like myself\" and wanted someone to actually listen — and take her seriously.\nThis podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
