6. Hormone Replacement Therapy & Reclaiming Confidence in Midlife with Jen Weis
In this episode of Girlfriend’s Guide to Midlife Podcast, I introduce my good friend Jen Weis from Colorado Springs, who, like me, is an empty nester. We dive into a deep discussion about hormones and hormone replacement therapy, sharing valuable insights and personal experiences. Jen, with her significant background in health, wellness, and hormone replacement therapy, talks about her journey from being shy to becoming what she calls a 'comfort zone annihilator.'
We explore the challenges and transitions faced in midlife, the importance of hormone balance, and clear up some of the misperceptions around the safety and efficacy of hormone replacement therapy. Her passion for empowering women to feel their best really shines through as she shares practical tips and personal stories. It's all about taking control of our health and living with vitality.
