Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's Common Myths of Balancing Hormones During Menopause with Dr. Sharon Stills
Many women are fearful of estrogen, especially with everything out there related to "estrogen dominance". What if the real danger isn’t estrogen but it’s misinformation?
Dr. Sharon Stills has spent over two decades helping women move through perimenopause and menopause with clarity and confidence. Her message is simple but powerful: hormones aren’t the enemy. They’re part of what keeps your brain, bones, and metabolism resilient as you age.
We talk about why so many women are misled into avoiding estrogen, why it’s never “too late” to find balance, and how adrenal and thyroid health fit into the bigger hormonal picture. You’ll also hear her take on bioidentical hormones, proper testing, and why chasing symptoms without addressing root causes rarely works.
Tune in to learn how to make informed, confident choices about your hormones without fear, hype, or confusion.
