Starting Estrogen, DHEA Safety & Oral vs Vaginal Progesterone: Meno Bestie Q & A - Karen Martel

Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall during my conversations with my favorite menopause experts? Well today… you are.

You'll get a front-row seat to a no-filter Q&A with hormone expert Karen Martel, where we both answer your most pressing hormone questions—together.

We cover:

• The pros and cons of oral progesterone

• Oral vs. vaginal progesterone—what's better and when?

• Whether DHEA is safe to take with estradiol and progesterone

• What you can really expect when starting estrogen

• And so much more (including a few juicy detours you didn't even know you needed)

Karen is a woman, like you, like me, also going through the menopause transition herself. Her mission is to help women in this phase of life, because she knows a ton about hormones and managing the unexplained weight gain some of us get in menopause. She is not only a Certified Hormone Specialist, but she is also a Transformational Nutrition Coach, and an authority on women's weight loss. She is the host of one of my favorite podcasts called The Hormone Solution, where she unravels the enigmas of female fat loss and hormone imbalances. Check it out and you will surely learn something new and be more in charge of your wellbeing. Karen went through her own health challenges, so she understands what you may be going through and has created a revolutionary approach to women's hormone health and weight management. She goes beyond the regular advice of diet and exercise, even disrupting what we think know about weight loss. She is so incredibly passionate about supporting women during the peri and post-menopausal phases and she does an incredible job guiding them to overcome weight management obstacles. You're going to love this conversation and I know it will help you!
