Do you feel off—but your doctor says you're fine? You are not alone. This is Part 2 of my 3-part series for the Christian woman walking through perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause who just wants answers and encouragement—without the overwhelm. We're going there today, talking about labs, hormones, treatments, and how to navigate it all with Jesus at the center.

Inside this episode, we'll cover:

  • Why you feel so "off"—even when your labs look normal
  • The key hormone, thyroid, and cortisol tests to ask your doctor for
  • How to prepare for lab work (and what can affect results)
  • A faith-based perspective on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
  • My personal story of trying HRT and why I stopped
  • Why it's so important to find a doctor who listens and honors your faith

Foundational Scripture:
 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding." — Proverbs 4:7

This episode isn't medical advice—it's sister-to-sister encouragement with science, Scripture, and stories. Always talk to your doctor about what's best for you.

And if you missed Part 1, make sure to go back and listen to Episode 265: Menopause for Christian Women: Symptoms, Support, and Solutions. You'll get the full picture of what's happening in your body and how to respond with wisdom and grace.

Scriptures in this Episode:
Proverbs 4:7, Psalm 139:14, 2 Corinthians 12:9, 1 Corinthians 10:31, James 1:5, and Isaiah 26:3

With love in Christ,
