122: (M) Misdiagnosed? It Could Be Your Hormones with Anna Garrett

Are you struggling with unexplained mood swings, weight changes, or sleep issues? 

Could your symptoms be related to menopause or perimenopause without you even realizing it? 

How well do you understand the role hormones play in your overall health?

In this episode of The Courage To Be, Dr. Anna Garrett, a menopause expert and functional medicine practitioner, breaks down the misconceptions about perimenopause and menopause. She explains how hormonal imbalances can mimic psychiatric disorders, why birth control isn't a long-term solution, and how gut health, nutrition, and genetics all play a role in managing symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, and weight gain.

Dr. Anna shares a powerful story of a woman misdiagnosed with a psychiatric disorder—when, in reality, her symptoms were due to severe hormone depletion. She also reveals how a simple lifestyle change, like cutting out dairy or adjusting carb intake, helped clients lose weight and regain energy.

Whether you're experiencing symptoms or just want to be prepared, this episode will give you the tools to advocate for your health and make informed choices.
