#166 - Hot Flashes, Perimenopause, Menopause & Estrogen with Kate Deering

Uncategorized Nov 04, 2022

We welcome back Kate on the podcast for the millionth time! We joke this should be the Kitty and Kate Show.

This time we talk about menopause and common questions that come up with it. Kate has a really good way of taking complex subjects and making them easy to understand so I thought this was a good one to dig into together.

In this episode, Kate and I chat about:

➡️What is menopause?

➡️Perimenopause vs menopause

➡️What are “normal” but not 'necessary' menopausal symptoms?

➡️What are hot flashes?

➡️The impact of stress on menopausal symptoms

➡️HRT and how it works

➡️Estrogen’s impact on other hormones

➡️How estrogen affects energy levels

➡️What taking progesterone can do

➡️How a low metabolism impacts estrogen and progesterone

➡️Is estrogen protective for the brain?

➡️Why women have an increased rate of heart disease

➡️The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) vs hormonal birth control

➡️5 foundational things you can do to improve your hot flashes and menopausal symptoms
