KITTY BLOMFIELD
About this episode

Are you being told your only solution is more estrogen?

If you’re in your 40s or 50s, chances are you’ve started experiencing symptoms like:

🔥 Hot flashes

😵‍💫 Brain fog

💤 Poor sleep

💥 Mood swings

💪 Weight gain (especially around the midsection)

And what do most doctors say?

You’re low in estrogen just take HRT.

But what if that’s not the root cause? 

What if it’s not just about low hormones, what if you still have estrogen levels and they don't show up in your bloods?

What if if has more to do with the way you've been living - stress, poor nourishment, and years of running on empty?

In this episdoe with Kate Deering (author of How to Heal Your Metabolism), we break down:

→ What actually happens during perimenopause & menopause

→ Why estrogen might be helping short-term but hurting long-term

→ How to reduce symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, and sleep issues without jumping straight to HRT

→ What prolactin levels say about tissue estrogen (and why blood tests can be misleading)

→ The connection between nourishment, stress, progesterone and your ability to feel like yourself again

This episode is a must-listen if you’re confused, overwhelmed, or feeling pressure to go on hormones before truly understanding your options.
