253. Dr. Jessica Shepherd: On Menopause, HRT, and Longevity Tips for Women
Descripción del Episodio
Most women spend years dismissing their own symptoms: brain fog, frozen shoulder, mood crashes, vanishing libido, never realizing these aren’t signs of aging, they’re signals of a hormonal shift that begins nearly a decade before menopause hits. Today, I’m with board-certified OB-GYN and menopause expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd to dismantle the myths that have kept millions of women unnecessarily suffering, including the misrepresented WHI study that put hormone therapy off the table for a generation.
