Episode 114 - Women's Hormones at Menopause: What You Need to Know with Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith

I love a good hormone discussion, and this was definitely one of them!  Women's hormones at perimenopause and menopause can be pretty complex, and I had the honour of discussing them today with Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith.

Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith is a Board Certified OB/GYN and has been in practice in Houston since 1999. In 2020 she retired as the Founder and President of Complete Women’s Care Center which she opened as a solo practitioner in 2002 and grew to be the largest all-female OB/GYN group in the country by 2019. Dr. Susan decided to start her “second act” as the Founder of Complete Midlife Wellness Center, a concierge practice focused on helping women find their full aliveness in midlife and celebrate the amazing opportunities that menopause brings.

Topics covered:

- Special attention needed at perimenopause to prepare for menopause.
- Individuality of women during this time.
- Medicine for midlife women.
- Estrogen - is it really all the bad?  What the newest studies say.
- Dismissiveness of symptoms women feel.
- Sleep during menopause.

And so much more covered in this amazing and informative episode!
