If you've ever thought, "What is happening to my body, and why don't I feel like myself anymore?" this episode is for you.
Maybe you're gaining weight even though you haven't changed what you're doing. You're exhausted but can't sleep. Your anxiety feels different. Your brain feels foggy. And maybe you've gone to the doctor looking for answers only to hear, "Your labs are normal."
Today, I'm sitting down with Dr. Tabatha Barber, The Gutsy Gynecologist, for the conversation I wish more Christian women were having about perimenopause, menopause, hormones, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), GLP-1s, sleep, weight gain, and advocating for your health.
We're also talking about how to seek answers and wise medical care while continuing to trust God with our bodies and our lives.
In This Episode:
✦ Why hormonal changes can affect mood, sleep, brain fog, weight, and energy
✦ What women should understand about HRT and different treatment options
✦ Why "normal" labs may not tell the whole story
✦ How to find a knowledgeable provider and advocate for yourself
✦ What to know about compounded medications and GLP-1 safety
✦ Why sleep and nervous-system regulation matter in midlife
✦ How to take your thoughts captive and renew your mind
✦ Why trusting God and seeking wise medical care belong together
One of the things I hope you take away from this conversation is to be proactive about your health.
We can trust God and ask questions. We can pray and get the labs. We can have faith and seek wise medical care. We can care for our bodies without making our bodies our idols.
Go to God first. Get wisdom. Ask questions. Advocate for yourself. And take the next right step.
