Health By Heather Hirsch

The Menopause Talk Every Daughter Deserves // Perimenopause and menopause are more than hot flashes, and I want women to know the early signs can include anxiety, insomnia, depression, irritability, brain fog, and feeling like you are not yourself. In this conversation, I sit down with my daughter to talk about generational health, menopause education, women’s health research, and what the next generation deserves to know about midlife hormones. My hope is that we keep having more open conversations around perimenopause, menopause, aging, and women’s health so future generations feel more informed, prepared, and supported.More about Dr. Hirsch: Order My New Book: The Perimenopause Survival Guide: https://amzn.to/3SYALze⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3SYALze⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Collaborative Medical Practice: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecollaborative.kit.com/11e9825fb5⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll in my course on HRT management: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://heatherhirschmd.myflodesk.com/prescribehrt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

If You Care About Longevity, You Need to Care About MenopausePerimenopause and menopause are more than hormone changes. They are a major turning point for long-term health. In this video, I explain why the years between 45 and 60 can shape how you feel for the next 30 years and why menopause is not just about your period stopping. We talk about estrogen decline, progesterone decline, testosterone decline, chronic disease risk, health span, lifespan, and how to build generational health for yourself and your family.I also break down why midlife is the time to pay attention to cholesterol, blood pressure, sleep, prediabetes, strength, mobility, social connection, and the everyday habits that influence your future. We cover family medical history, epigenetics, trauma, behavior modeling, and how your choices today can impact the next generation.If you are in perimenopause or menopause and want to feel strong, informed, and proactive about your health, this video is for you.More about Dr. Hirsch: Order My New Book: The Perimenopause Survival Guide: https://amzn.to/3SYALze⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3SYALze⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Collaborative Medical Practice: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecollaborative.kit.com/11e9825fb5⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll in my course on HRT management: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://heatherhirschmd.myflodesk.com/prescribehrt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

HRT in Your 60s, 70s, or 80s? Yes, It’s Still an Option //This podcast is sponsored by Cozy Earth, products that I have lived in this winter! Use CODE: CozyDrHeather for a discount at Cozy Earth:cozyearth.comHormone replacement therapy (HRT), menopausal hormone therapy, estrogen therapy, and progesterone are often discussed in relation to the “10-year window.” Still, many women ask if they can start HRT in their 60s, 70s, or 80s for menopause symptoms. Women who went through menopause between 2002 and 2022 were frequently denied hormone therapy due to fear, misinformation, and outdated medical guidance about menopause treatment and women’s health. In this video, we explain HRT timing, late-start hormone therapy options, menopause care for older women, and what the latest research says about who may still benefit.More about Dr. Hirsch: Order My New Book: The Perimenopause Survival Guide: https://amzn.to/3SYALze⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3SYALze⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Collaborative Medical Practice: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecollaborative.kit.com/11e9825fb5⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll in my course on HRT management: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://heatherhirschmd.myflodesk.com/prescribehrt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
