  • Excellent resource for women’s health

    I am learning so much from listening to these episodes with so many things that are shared that are never said to me in my own personal medical visits. I two come from the generation where our mothers and other female females in the family never shared any of these topics. Thank you for shining the light Dr Sharon!

  • Dr. Sharon

    I have been familiar with Dr. Sharon as part of the “menoposse” for a while. I’m so excited about her podcast. She breaks things down so easily, like you’re talking with your sister or friend, who happens to be a doctor.

Hormones Changes In Your Thirties? Definitely Says Hannah Bronfman
Q: What are your thoughts on hormone testing and at-home diagnostics for perimenopause?
Testing can be unnecessary in many cases; diagnosis should be symptom-based, with testing reserved for specific circumstances like prior surgeries or unclear age fit, to guide treatment decisions.
Hormones Changes In Your Thirties? Definitely Says Hannah Bronfman
Q: What were your other symptoms beyond menstrual irregularity during perimenopause?
There was a drastic mood change, trouble waking up, brain fog and ADD-like symptoms, and sleep disturbances that all marked the transition.
Hormones Changes In Your Thirties? Definitely Says Hannah Bronfman
Q: Did you realize that there was even, that perimenopause was even a thing?
Yes, I knew it existed but was surprised by how quickly she experienced it; it underscores how common and accelerating this transition can be.
Hot on Air with CNN’s Laura Coates (Rerun)
Q: What impact did menopause have on your professional life and your daily routines?

Hot on Air with CNN’s Laura Coates (Rerun)
Q: What age were you when your last period stopped, and how did you approach treatment decisions?
Laura shares that her last period was before 40 and that initial resistance to hormone therapy gave way to considering treatment after recognizing symptom severity and family history, leading to a decision to pursue therapy and better control of hot flashes and sleep disruption.
