In this episode we’re joined by certified hormone specialist and women’s weight loss specialist Karen Martel. Karen’s mission is to disrupt the outdated narrative that it’s normal for women to suffer through the shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Reliable information can make all the difference in equipping you with the tools you need to take control of your hormone health.
After Karen had her daughter, she experienced a cascade of health problems she’d never been through before. Even though she hadn’t changed her routine, she was experiencing insomnia, weight gain, and gut issues. Eventually, she sought help with a naturopath who tested her hormones—and that’s where she found the answers she needed.
She had a similar experience when perimenopause hit even though, at this time, she was working in the wellness space. Karen’s story is proof that you can “do everything right” and still experience health problems. What she found is that women are often given old information or outright dismissed when it comes to their health.
These hormone shifts can have a huge effect on your life, including your sleep, your mood, and your stress tolerance. It can change the way you make decisions, and make you feel like a different person with your kids or your partner.
More women need to be educated on hormone replacement therapy. HRT can be incredibly powerful in increasing a woman’s quality of life by reducing the symptoms associated with menopause. All women deserve to know about the tools they have in today’s world to support them.
