Your hormones are talking. Do you know how to listen?
Black women enter perimenopause earlier, experience more severe symptoms for longer, and are the least likely of any group to receive hormone therapy. In this episode Dr. Nicole Peoples breaks down what is actually happening in your body and what you can do about it.
In this episode we cover:
- Why Black women's perimenopause symptoms are more severe and what epigenetics has to do with it
- What progesterone and testosterone are actually doing in your body that nobody told you about
- The truth about hormone replacement therapy and the 2002 study that changed everything
- How to find the right specialist when your doctor doesn't have answers
- What thriving post menopause actually looks like and how to build toward it now
Dr. Nicole Peoples is a board certified internal medicine physician with advanced training in integrative and functional medicine and a specialist in hormone health for women based in Atlanta, Georgia.
