4. MENOPAUSIA: La injusticia Cósmica

In episode 4 of the Apasionadas podcast, we talk about MENOPAUSE—yes, in CAPITALS! I tell you a lot about estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, and the injustice of these hormones being treated differently than the rest. In a clear and simple way, I explain what menopause is and explain the different stages: premenopause, postmenopause, and perimenopause. I'm sure you won't be confused after listening! In this episode, we also talk about the symptoms of menopause, such as tiredness, fatigue, mood swings, and one of the most important: vaginal dryness! We also cover topics like hormone phobia and the WHI study, which are key to understanding why many women have gone so many years without treatment for their symptoms. And, to close out the episode, I explain hormone therapy and bioidentical hormones in detail. Don't miss the previous episodes!
