    5 Things You (& Your Doctor) Should Know Before Starting HRT

    When you start HRT, or when you started, you probably had a goal in mind; feel more like yourself, less fatigue, more clarity, less mood swings, more sleep and more. Just like a roadtrip, you’ve got to know where you’re starting from, where you’re going and what you’ll encounter along the way. In this episode of Her Genetic Edge Podcast I break down 5 things to consider before you start your journey.

  2. Why Genetics Matter More In Midlife

    Why Genetics Matter More In Midlife

    Why do some women feel amazing on HRT… while you’re still struggling with sleep, anxiety, inflammation, weight gain, or fatigue? You’re not failing. And your body isn’t broken. What works for one woman doesn’t always work for another, because hormones are only part of the picture. Your genetics influence how your body processes hormones, responds to stress, handles inflammation, and navigates the hormonal shifts of midlife. In this episode, we’ll explore why midlife often exposes patterns the body could compensate for before, why HRT is not one-size-fits-all, and how understanding your genetics can help you make more informed, personalized decisions about your health.

    Why What Works For Her...Isn’t Working For You

    Does midlife feel more like a trainwreck than a transition? The seemingly sudden drop in estrogen and progesterone can be quite destabilizing. Everywhere you turn, someone is giving you the strategy that will reverse all your symptoms. Just take the HRT, eat all the protein, do you’re weighted-vest workouts, and don’t forget your cupful of supplements. So why isn’t it working for you? Especially when it seems to be working for everyone else? The answer may be in your genetics! Get full access to Lori Aikman | Her Genetic Edge at loriaikman.substack.com/subscribe
