Episode 148 - Don’t Just Survive Through Perimenopause, THRIVE Through Perimenopause: A Deep Dive With Karen Martel Part 1


In this Nirvana Sisters podcast episode, we chat with Karen Martel, the CEO of Hormone Solutions and host of the Hormone Solution Podcast.

To kick the episode off Katie shares a touching testimonial about how Karen Martel's podcast has transformed her life, leading her to explore hormone replacement therapy and experience a significant improvement in her health and well-being. This personal anecdote set the stage for a deep dive into the complexities of perimenopause and menopause.

Karen expertly explains the surprising symptoms of perimenopause, shedding light on the often overlooked signs that women may experience, such as weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and emotional changes. She emphasizes the importance of understanding these symptoms and seeking proper treatment to navigate this phase of life with grace and vitality.

The conversation delved into the impact of hormone fluctuations on various aspects of women's health, from sleep patterns to sex drive, and even mental health. Karen highlights the role of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in maintaining overall well-being and how their decline can lead to a range of symptoms, including depression, insomnia, and weight gain.

Tune in next week for the upcoming part two, where we will explore strategies to not just survive but thrive through perimenopause.
