My Hormones Betrayed Me | IVF, Postpartum Depression, Hypothyroidism & Menopause

Author: Dear Media August 24, 2026 Duration: 53:45
Have you ever felt like your body was working against you? In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal hormonal journey from IVF and postpartum depression to hypothyroidism and eventually perimenopause. I’m connecting the dots between the symptoms I experienced at different stages of my life, what I wish I had recognized sooner, and why becoming your own health advocate matters. Because you know your body better than anyone, and you should never feel like you have to simply suffer through the symptoms.Have a question for Dominique?
