Episode Overview: The question many midlife women are asking is, “what’s the truth about hormone replacement therapy?” With all the conflicting information we hear, I wanted to talk to an expert on the topic, Dr. Felice Gersh. She is a board-certified OBGYN and integrative medicine doctor. As an expert in menopause, PCOS, hormones, fasting, and the unique needs of women I knew Dr. Gersh was the woman to talk to!  She and I have a joint mission to help women who, universally, must go through this transition into menopause to live high-quality lives.
