Episode Description

Standard blood work might tell you everything looks “normal,” while your hormones are actually in post-menopausal free fall. In this episode, I’ll walk you through my wife Sage's hormone test results on the whiteboard, exposing the hormonal ratios blood tests miss, estradiol being 100x more potent than other estrogens, and why hormone therapy is the only approach that actually works. This episode is essential viewing for couples navigating the hormonal minefield together, complete with the exact protocols that brought Sage back to herself.
