Episode Summary

Hormone replacement therapy education is all the talk these days. But how do you cut through all the noise and get the right care for you? 

Expert in the field, Dr. Sarah Daccarett joins the podcast to get straight to the point about how the CORRECT hormone replacement methods can do more than just symptom management.

We want you to feel GOOD in midlife, not just symptom-free. A lot of providers aren’t knowledgeable or confident enough in HRT options, leaving you with a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. And sadly, this causes thousands of women to be totally underdosed. 

But Dr. Sarah offers something different that can potentially give some standardization for you. You can get predictable products and services at her company, Inner Balance.

With a clinical team to check in with, and less HRT side effects than other formulations, Inner Balance is a safe and massively effective option for managing your midlife hormone symptoms. 

Tune in here and learn how to get maximum benefit from hormone replacement therapy to live your brightest life!

Dr. Sarah Daccarett, MD

She’s the CEO and founder of Inner Balance- a medical approach to female biology that works with women’s bodies. It’s your science-backed and compassionate solution to hormonal health, with the mission to close the gender gap in healthcare for good.

QUOTES

“It’s because women need to understand that this convoluted messaging they’re getting is suppressing them. It’s keeping them misinformed and it’s keeping them from living probably their fullest potential.”

“A take home message for anybody listening is that it’s not just the hormones that matter. It’s the way you’re trying to get them into the body. Unfortunately, we’re all having to turn into hormone experts because doctors are not figuring it out for us, so we’re doing it ourselves.”

“Women, if you want to treat estrogen dominance, you should make sure that your estrogen is actually [high] enough that all these chemicals can’t bind. Then you have enough progesterone to counterbalance it. So the treatment is not to lower estrogen, but to actually take it and then you’ll feel better.”

Episode Summary

Perimenopause is really like your “second puberty,”– and it sets the course for the rest of your life.

So in this episode, I’m giving you a special sneak peek into my brand-new book, The Perimenopause Revolution!

We’ll dive into what perimenopause really is, why it matters, and how understanding hormonal and metabolic changes can transform the way you navigate this stage of life. 

Even though half the world’s population will go through it, perimenopause is still clouded with confusion—so I’m here to clear it all up. 

From the wide range of symptoms to the long-term impact on your health, you’ll learn why this transition is not the beginning of the end, but the beginning of a more connected, vital, and powerful you. 

Tune in here and get inspired to put your best foot forward in this exciting new chapter of your life!

IN THIS EPISODE

  1. What to expect in my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution
  2. What’s driving the confusion around perimenopause?
  3. Understanding the system-wide changes during perimenopause
  4. Recognizing feelings and emotions common in perimenopause
  5. How to know when you’re in perimenopause 
  6. Common signs and symptoms of perimenopause

QUOTES

“Symptoms and changes in the body are a result of fluctuating and declining hormones that have far-reaching effects on many important systems– the brain, heart, metabolism, bones, and muscles, to name a few.” 

“My goal with this book is to help women gain a greater understanding of the impact of hormone shifts, as well as changes in metabolism and blood sugar on every aspect of their health. That way, they can target these areas and confidently approach the second half of life feeling strong, resilient, and energized.”

“Perimenopause forces us to confront challenges in a whole new way because what worked before no longer does, and ultimately, I think that’s a good thing because we learn to prioritize what really matters and let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore.”

“Anything that overwhelms our capacity to respond becomes a trauma for our body. And those changes impact us down to the cellular level– the immune system level. They are what become our diseases often decades later.”

“The greatest impact on their life was me teaching them a few simple somatic self-practices that could shift their inner state to one safe enough within seconds.”

“It really shifted my perspective to know how much more alive I could be– I don’t even know the possibilities because I’ve never lived that. I’ve never been that. I’ve never been that version of myself. And it keeps me in a place of curiosity, it keeps me in a place of learning.”
