The Hotflash inc podcast 54. Jessica Jolie Badonsky: ‘Take the pressure off perimenopause with HRT’
What a discussion this is. (The first explicit one too!) Jessica Jolie Badonsky is a New York City-based, board-certified family nurse practitioner and North American Menopause Society certified practitioner with more 18 years of experience in the medical arena. She is also a life coach who specializes in menopausal health, human sexuality, medicinal cannabis, and intimate wellness. And during her own menopause journey, she discovered how much more there was to to all this than hot flashes and mood swings. She is also the founder of Agelust Labs, a group progam designed to reframe the menopausal mindset with a fresh, modern approach that integrates science and spirit to help you through your meno-morphosis.
All the highlights in our conversation:
• Why she went on HRT
• How it’s going – good and bad
• ADHD and perimenopause
• How giving birth is like perimenopause
• Using hormone therapy to “take the pressure off”
• Why she uses a compounding pharmacy
• The launch of Agelust Labs
• How we change about sex in menopause
• The first mention of “queef” in the Hotflash inc podcast
• Changing sexual attitudes – and dynamics – within a long-term relationship
• The nascent but fascinating possibility of psychedelics and menopause
• Understanding the endocannabanoid system and perimenopause
