Hormones can feel like a mystery, especially when symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, hot flashes, low libido, UTIs, and even frozen shoulder seem to come out of nowhere. In this episode, I sit down with hormone specialist and pharmacist Dr. Tiffany Ruder to separate fact from fiction and help you understand what may really be happening inside your body. Dr. Ruder explains how hormonal changes can affect nearly every aspect of health, why brain fog isn't something women should simply accept as a normal part of aging, and how personalized hormone therapy may help address common midlife symptoms. We also explore the growing interest in peptide therapy, what the science currently shows, and the questions women should ask when evaluating treatment options. Whether you're curious about hormone replacement therapy, pellets, creatine, or struggling with symptoms of perimenopause or menopause, or simply want a clearer understanding of your body's changing needs, this conversation offers practical insights and evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions.
