EP264: The HRT Myth-Busting Masterclass: Perimenopause, Birth Control, & Hormonal Truths
In this episode, we dive deep into the messy reality of women's midlife healthcare and tear down the wall of misinformation surrounding perimenopause, birth control, and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
Danielle + is joined by Alise Greenfield licensed nurse practitioner of over a decade and together they break down how conventional medicine fails women by pushing antidepressants and birth control for hormonal shifts, while calling out functional medicine for oversimplifying perimenopause as "estrogen dominance" or scaring women away from medication.
From the dangers of unmonitored med spa hormone pellets to the overlap of postpartum recovery in your late 30s, this conversation uncovers what is really going on behind the scenes in women's health.
We also bust the most common HRT myths holding women back from feeling their best—including cancer fears, arbitrary 10-year caps, and the misconception that you have to wait until your periods completely stop to seek care.
