EP33 You Don't Have To Live With Your Symptoms

During our pre-teen years, women are taught about menstruation, pregnancy, and their bodies, but what about life after having children? Many are in the dark when it comes to the changes they will experience during perimenopause and menopause, making it harder to address their symptoms and advocate for themselves. With all the knowledge out there today, even doctors aren't receiving enough education on the topics of menopause and the hormone imbalances that follow. Today's guest on the Checkable Health podcast is hormone specialist and integrative OB/GYN, Dr. Tara Scott. "As a traditionally trained OB/GYN, I can tell you we are given zero education on managing hormone issues," says Dr. Tara. Known as the Hormone Guru, Dr. Tara Scott helps women of all ages work through pre- and post-menopause issues. From weight gain, acne, and irregular periods, to mood swings and symptoms from conditions like endometriosis, Dr. Tara offers her expertise on how to battle them all. She also uses social media to expand her outreach and execute her life's mission to help women understand their bodies, hormones, and how stress and other lifestyle factors affect overall health. If you're questioning whether you need hormone therapy or if herbal supplements are enough to relieve your symptoms, tune in to start your women's health education!
