The Best Menopause Education Class with Dr. LaKeischa Webb McMillan | 290
Q: Can you walk us through what actually happens when estrogen starts shifting and how that creates a cascade of symptoms?
Estrogen receptors in the brain and other tissues are affected as levels decline, leading to changes in brain function, temperature regulation, mood, and cognition. This cascade helps explain why symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, and sleep disturbances occur together, and why a multi-system approach is needed.
240 How to manage hormonal stress in midlife with Kate Wells, Parlor Games
Q: What are the benefits of testosterone in women?
Testosterone in women supports cognition, memory formation, recovery from exercise, muscle maintenance, heart health, bone strength, libido, and overall energy and wellbeing. The hormone comes predominantly from DHEA, and any supplemental testosterone is usually a carefully dosed, bioidentical, compounded therapy managed by a knowledgeable clinician.
250 Reverse Health: How to Create a Menopause Wellness Plan That Works for Midlife
Q: How is nutrition adapted for women over 40 compared to younger women?
Nutrition is personalized to account for slower metabolism, changes in muscle mass, and gut microbiome shifts; emphasis is on higher protein intake, balanced carbohydrates, and heart-healthy fats with flexibility and practicality in meal planning.

What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Hormones — And How to Advocate for Yourself with Dr. Bruce Dorr | 287
Q: What's the treatment?
Treatment centers on balancing estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause, considering testosterone and thyroid/adrenal health, and choosing bioidentical options when appropriate. In menopause, options include estrogen therapy via pills, patches, gels, or pellets, with the goal of reducing symptoms and improving quality of life while monitoring risks. Pellet therapy is discussed as a lower-maintenance option for some, though absorption varies and timing must be personalized.
