  • A Must-Listen for Women’s Health and Hormones

    I love Karen Martel’s podcast! The interviews are insightful, the information is well-researched, and I appreciate how she breaks down complex hormone topics into something totally digestible and empowering. I also really enjoy the wide range of topics she covers—from hormones and weight loss to mindset, aging, and beyond. The “Ask Me Anything” episodes are a favorite too—I love that listeners can submit questions and get honest, thorough answers. Such a valuable resource!

  • Highly recommend

    I found this podcast right after I started HRT. I wish I would have found this first as I have learned so much. I have recommended this podcast to many of my friends as we start to question if there are solutions to the many symptoms we are experiencing that our doctors seem oblivious about.
