Have you ever gone to the doctor feeling completely overwhelmed, moody, or exhausted, only to be told "your lab work looks normal" or "you're just getting older"? This week, Megan sits down with nurse practitioner Sara McCalley to get real about hormones, health advocacy, and why your symptoms aren't just "in your head."
Sara breaks down why perimenopause is starting as early as your 30s, the game-changing difference between blood and salivary hormone testing, and why progesterone deficiency is often the true culprit behind 2:00 AM waking and "wired but tired" exhaustion. From the biological connection between gut inflammation and brain fog to budget-friendly ways to support your thyroid, cortisol, and mental health, this episode is a complete masterclass in listening to your body. Grab your coffee and tune in to learn how to stop surviving and start feeling like yourself again!
