Midlife symptoms like hot flashes, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, sleep issues, low libido, anxiety, and fatigue are often dismissed as “normal” — but they don’t have to be.
In this powerful episode of Beauty Talk Podcast, host Veronica sits down with Tamara Nosa, Nurse Practitioner and Founder of European Integrative Wellness, to break down the real difference between perimenopause and menopause, which labs women should actually ask for, and why so many women are misdiagnosed or ignored.
We bust common HRT myths, explain bioidentical vs synthetic hormones, and share evidence-based habits you can start this week to feel better — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
✨ This episode includes a printable self-advocacy checklist to help you prepare for your next doctor’s visit.
