In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Estima shares her perspective and highlights:
  • The importance of taking women's symptoms seriously and the role of hormone replacement therapy and individualized care in navigating these changes
  • Low-cost health and lifestyle adjustments and why tailored interventions are more effective than generic "eat less and exercise more" advice
  • The importance of cognitive flexibility and a holistic approach to health through open dialogue with healthcare providers
