Rethinking Hormones: The Missing Link in Your HRT Journey

from The Girlfriend Doctor w/ Dr. Anna Cabeca

Hormone health is rarely black and white, and that's exactly why this conversation is so powerful. I sat down with my dear friend Natalie Jill, a Midlife Expert and Bestselling Author, to talk about the gray zones of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We got real about the myths that keep women confused or even afraid, and why a "one-size-fits-all" approach just doesn't work.   We get into the tough questions, like is HRT safe, when should you consider it, and what other natural support options are out there? We also talked about how detoxing plays such a big role in hormone health and how simple things (yes, even broccoli sprouts!) can make a difference. You'll hear why progesterone and testosterone matter so much more than most women realize, plus a few easy ways to support your hormones starting today.   If this resonates, I'd love for you to join me live for my Mastering Your Hormones Masterclass at dranna.com/hormones. And because I always get asked what I use myself, yes, Julva is one of my favorite daily essentials for intimate health, and I can't wait for you to try it at dranna.com/summeroflove. And if you need something refreshing and fun? My new Mighty Maca Mango makes the perfect summer mocktail, popsicle, or afternoon pick-me-up.
