How Trust Can Be Rebuilt

When trust is broken, it can feel like everything in the marriage has been shaken, but healing is still possible. Listener question: What do you do if your spouse doesn't want counseling? My husband talks to me harshly sometimes and I feel I need to walk on eggshells. My 2 year old pics up on it and even told his dad to get out of the room this morning. I bring up counseling and he says no. I tell him I don't want to be talked to like this but I don't see a path forward. Looking back, I can see the red flags in our dating life. But I made the choice to marry him and I do love and care about him.

Why Your 30s, 40s, and 50s Are Wrecking Your Hormones

You've heard about hot flashes. Maybe you've even had them. But the hormone shift that's quietly dismantling your mood, your metabolism, your sleep, and your sense of self? That started years before menopause and most women have no idea. In this solo episode, Dr. Terri DeNeui maps the full three-decade hormone timeline every woman needs to understand: the testosterone loss that begins in your 30s (and its devastating, and overlooked connection to depression), the progesterone decline that hits like a wall in your 40s, and the estrogen fluctuation that makes the late 40s and early 50s the most miserable stretch for many women. She also makes the case for thyroid as the most underdiagnosed piece of the puzzle and explains why a normal TSH doesn't mean your thyroid is actually working. Along the way, she takes on the antidepressant default, sharing her own doctoral research showing that women who optimized their testosterone resolved their depression entirely and the birth control pill habit that well-meaning gynecologists are still prescribing after 40, despite a very real and elevated stroke risk. This episode is for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who've been told their labs are fine but know something is wrong and for anyone who wants to understand what's actually happening before settling for symptoms management. What you'll discover: Why testosterone, not estrogen is the first hormone women lose, and what that means for mood, focus, and body composition [04:50] The doctoral research that changed how Dr. Terri thinks about depression in women and antidepressants [05:17] Progesterone: the calming hormone that disappears in your 40s and why heavy, painful cycles are a deficiency not a life sentence [07:19] Why birth control pills after 40 carry serious stroke risk and what to use instead [08:50] The estrogen fluctuation that makes the late 40s and early 50s the hardest stretch for most women [09:43] Why "normal" lab ranges are based on a sick, unhealthy population and where you actually want your numbers [19:44] Thyroid: the most underdiagnosed condition in older women and why TSH alone doesn't tell the full story [16:33] T4 vs. T3 — and the key enzyme most women are quietly losing as they age [17:26] Why women need hormone optimization across the full lifespan not just to manage symptoms during the transition [14:04] The bottom line: your hormones don't just affect how you feel during menopause they shape every decade of your health. Finding a clinician who understands optimization, not just symptom management, changes everything. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.
