Description

Angela welcomes special guest, Karen Martel, to talk about sex, hormones, menopause, and women's health.

Karen and Angela delve into the misconceptions surrounding estrogen and hormone replacement therapy, emphasizing the importance of understanding the benefits of hormone replacement for women's overall health. They also touch on the significance of testosterone and DHEA in women's health, highlighting the potential impact on energy levels, mental health, and sexual well-being.

Key Takeaways

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be highly beneficial for women going through perimenopause and menopause, providing relief from symptoms and reducing the risk of various health issues.

It is important for women to understand that experiencing health issues, such as weight gain or migraines, does not necessarily indicate a lack of effort in maintaining health, as human bodies naturally age and may face challenges despite healthy habits.

DHEA supplementation can support adrenal health and energy levels, but it is essential to be cautious with dosages to avoid potential side effects like acne and hair loss.

Women should not feel pressured to address every health issue through natural remedies or emotional healing, as sometimes medication or hormone replacement therapy may be the most effective solution.

It is crucial for individuals to recognise that not all health trends or treatments, such as psychedelics or specific supplements, are suitable for everyone, and personal health decisions should be made based on individual needs and circumstances.

Best Moments

"I always tell women like, you'll have better orgasms, more satisfactory."

"I did that for like 20 years. I was like, oh, my my freaking dream board isn't good enough."
