Hormones, Health, and Happiness: A Conversation with Dr. Elena Zinkov

Welcome to the Middle Age(ish) Podcast, hosted by Ashley Bedosky, Lisa Kelly, Dr. Pam Wright, and Trisha Kennedy Roman. Join us for an insightful conversation with our special guest, Dr. Elena Zinkov, as we discuss the complexities of women's health and hormones, sharing our personal experiences and shedding light on the importance of understanding our bodies and overall wellbeing.

Ever wondered why you're struggling with night sweats and temperature fluctuations in middle-age, and how to overcome these sleep challenges?  Together with Dr. Zinkov, we navigate the world of hormone replacement therapy, highlighting the differences between bio-identical and synthetic hormones and the vital role of finding the right treatment for you. We also touch on the challenges of weight loss for middle-aged women, the impact of hormones on depression and anxiety, and the benefits of a healthy diet and exercise for boosting serotonin levels and endorphins. Get ready to learn the importance of gut health and how it plays a crucial role in maintaining a balanced life.

Finally, we emphasize the need to be our own advocates when it comes to medical care and finding healthcare providers that not only understand the intricacies of women's health but also provide an emotional connection during doctor visits. So, grab your favorite drink, sit back, and join us on this journey as we learn, laugh, and raise a toast to finding a provider that is patient and kind.
