    NOV 25

    Hormonal changes in perimenopause

    We humans are ruled by our hormones. As women, hormonal changes can make us feel like completely different people. It's not just hot flashes and lack of libido, it's EVERYTHING. In this episode Sarah is joined by Dr. Victoria Fashikin Thore from WakeMed to discuss the complex balance of hormones.  They talk about the roles of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and bust some common myths, like whether hormone replacement therapy is really as risky as it once seemed. Plus, they tackle real questions about digestive issues, stress, and why women should never settle for feeling less than their best.  00:00 "Why Hot Flashes Vary" 03:56 "Estrogen's Role in Women's Health" 08:35 "Stress's Impact on Health" 10:30 Estrogen's Role in Vaginal Health 14:46 "HRT Study Misconceptions Explained" 16:15 Breast Cancer Risk and Hormones 19:45 "Thanks and Be Well" Submit questions for future episodes at wralfm.com/sarahhasquestions.   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sarahhasquestions/   You Tube https://www.youtube.com/@SarahHasQuestions   TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@sarahhasquestions DISCLAIMER: The information presented in this podcast is intended to be educational and nothing said by the host or guests should be taken as medical advice.

    ER or Urgent Care?

    When should you rush to the ER, and when is urgent care enough? Most of us have faced that question at some point. In this episode, Sarah King talks with WakeMed ER doctor Graham Snyder. The two break down common scenarios—from cuts, fevers, and broken bones, to allergic reactions, animal bites, and sports injuries. They discuss the nuances that determine whether you really need the full arsenal of emergency services or if your situation can be handled in a lower-stress, often quicker setting. Whether it's a child’s high fever, a suspected concussion, or the aftermath of using an EpiPen, Dr. Graham Snyder offers practical guidance to help you decide confidently where to turn in a medical crisis. It's all about knowing when to seek help and understanding what each type of care is equipped to handle. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Is this an ER thing?” you won’t want to miss these answers.
