🎙️ Episode Summary
In this powerhouse episode of Hormones, Metabolism, and You, Dr. Cassie Smith welcomes nationally recognized hormone expert Dr. Terri DeNeui for a deeply informative conversation about women’s hormone health through every life stage. From the subtle shifts in your 30s to the major hormonal declines of your 40s and 50s, this episode tackles it all — including the myths around hormone replacement therapy and cancer.

Dr. DeNeui, author of Hormone Havoc, shares why symptoms like fatigue, low libido, mood swings, and poor sleep are not just “normal aging,” but signs of underlying hormonal imbalance. She and Dr. Cassie explore the importance of gut health, the dangers of long-term SSRI and birth control use, and how lifestyle choices shape your hormonal landscape. Most importantly, they challenge outdated medical guidance and explain why estrogen therapy may not only be safe — but protective.

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, confused by lab results, or wondering if it’s “too early” or “too late” to start hormones, this episode brings clarity, compassion, and science-backed advice.
