Episode 26: Pubert the Hormone Monster

We are rounding out our initial hormone series with a detailed discussion on perimenopause and menopause. Garet takes Katie into a side quest where they fawn over the immortal magic of Maya Rudolph and Nick Kroll in Big Mouth and Katie demands that her uterus be removed and donated to Goodwill or someone who wants one. There's an outstanding callback to Episode 25 in the first five minutes of this episode, and we eventually get into the effect all these hormones have had on ADHD and what ADHD looks like in a post-menopause body. Garet also leaves us with some great tips on how to monitor our hormonal systems and how to advocate for ourselves to our healthcare providers. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for some discussions on what we have planned in the coming weeks and months for this podcast! It's gonna be a great year!   All sources for this episode are included in the show notes for Episode 23.
