Dr. Mindy Pelz: Midlife Mayhem, Hormones...

Dear Media
About this episode

Dr. Mindy Pelz joins Treated with Dr. Sara Szal (formerly Dr. Sara Gottfried) for a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about the hormonal rollercoaster of midlife and why so many high-achieving women feel lost at 35 (and 55). She opens up about her breaking point and what it took to admit that she was not okay. They reflect on why so many women struggle to ask for help, why self-care feels selfish, and the difference between “fixing” yourself and actually healing. From career burnout to navigating perimenopause like a boss, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever put themselves last.
