Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with nutritional physiologist Nick Barringer, PhD, to tackle women’s hormonal health and the widespread misunderstandings surrounding menopause. They discuss the damaging effects of the Women’s Health Initiative study, why millions of women are undertreated for menopause symptoms, and the increased risks of osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, and other health issues. The episode covers the role of muscle, low-inflammation lifestyles, and hormone therapies—including estrogen and testosterone—to support women’s health, body composition, and overall longevity. This is a practical, no-nonsense guide for women to understand their hormones and advocate for their well-being at any age.
