Episode #10 -The Day I Cried Over Granola - how HRT helped

In this episode of Let's Get Curious, Lori shares a candid and humorous story about her journey through menopause, which she dubs “The Day I Cried Over Granola.” She recounts how the early signs of menopause appeared gradually, beginning with a lack of motivation, fatigue, and anxiety, which she initially dismissed as stress from moving and dealing with COVID. Over time, more typical menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and eventually heart palpitations began to emerge.A pivotal moment came when Lori experienced a particularly intense heart palpitation, prompting her to visit urgent care and eventually a cardiologist. Although the tests came back clear, the doctor subtly suggested her body might be going through “changes.” Lori realized that menopause had truly arrived, sparking her desire to dive deeper into understanding her symptoms and finding relief.Lori and Dorothy reflect on how these changes impacted Lori’s day-to-day life, from losing interest in big family events to feeling constantly drained.  Throughout the episode, the conversation mixes laughter with the realities of navigating menopause, while also shedding light on how stigmatized and misunderstood the experience can be—even by medical professionals.If you found this podcast to be helpful, enlightening or just relatable please consider writing a positive review on your favorite podcast app and please don't forget to subscribe.If you'd like to be added to our  monthly newsletter where we discuss a variety of topics from pelvic floor health, to parenting neuro-divergent  and so much more visit here to sign up.  https://replenishing-soul.newzenler.com/Follow us on IG  https://www.instagram.com/replenishing_soul/Thank you for your interest!Show Notes:Dr. Mary Claire:  https://www.instagram.com/drmaryclaire/?hl=enDr.  Lisa Mosconi:  https://www.lisamosconi.com/Disclaimer:The information shared on this podcast is for informational purposes only and is based on the opinions and experience of Lori Dorothy and their guests.
