Listener’s Questions Answered: Perimenopause & Beyond w/Christine Garvin & Marieke Steen

This week, we are tackling your perimenopause-related questions!

We had over 40 questions submitted, and got through about 6 or so in 75 minutes. So we will be back in future episodes with more answers!

Here’s some of the questions we answered in this episode:

✨“Any specific ways to support my body and mind while heading into perimenopause?”

✨“What kind of hormone testing is best to get overall picture?”

✨“Testosterone injections make me so hungry all the time. Is there a way to combat that without feeling like I just can’t eat? Does it eventually go away?

✨“Thyroid medication and gut issues, I’ve read that it can cause gut dysbiosis is that true.”

✨“What are a few ways to get started on the journey of figuring out what hormones are doing and what to expect e.g., finding a compatible Dr (may have to kiss a few frogs), recommended testing, knowing your numbers, types, etc.”

We also tell you a little bit about our brand-new program, starting July 10th – Perimenopause Like A Boss. We’d LOVE for you to join us during this 4-week course, where you’ll get all your questions answered about peri, and SO MUCH MORE.
