Ask Me About My Estrogen

This podcast is a candid, real-life conversation about perimenopause—hosted by two women who are genuinely excited to talk about what so many are silently experiencing. Through personal storytelling, listener questions and comments, and conversations with expert guests in the field, we explore the physical, emotional, and mental shifts that come with this often-overlooked life stage.

From hormone changes and weight fluctuations to mood swings, sleep disruption, identity shifts, and the invisible mental load women carry, nothing is off the table. We talk honestly about the difficult parts, the confusing parts, and the moments that make you wonder, “Is this normal?”—because chances are, it is.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance — it’s about relationships, including the one you have with your body. In this episode, we talk hormones, intimacy, body image, and how perimenopause and menopause can shift the way we experience love, confidence, and connection. Honest, relatable, and a little spicy — just the way we like it.

Episode 3: Hormone Replacement & Medications
Is there a perfect hormone cocktail? Unfortunately—no. And that’s exactly what we’re talking about.
In this episode, Megan and Charlotte break down hormone replacement therapy (HRT), medications, and why treatment during perimenopause and menopause is often symptom-driven, not one-size-fits-all. From estrogen patches and progesterone to testosterone, SSRIs, vaginal estrogen, and more, we normalize why many women need multiple medications—and ongoing adjustments—to feel better.
We share our personal HRT journeys, missed and irregular periods, brain fog, hot flashes, and the reality of trial and error. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, dismissed, or frustrated with hormone treatment, this episode is for you.

Menopause Belly: Why It Shows Up (and Why It’s Not Your Fault)
It feels like it happened overnight: the sudden midsection weight gain that shows up uninvited, settles right below your high-rise waistband, and refuses to leave. Add it to the growing list of perimenopause hits—hot flashes, mood swings, exhaustion, brain fog—and yeah… this one stings.
In this episode, Megan and Charlotte get real about the so-called “menopause belly” (spoiler: the name is misleading). We break down what’s actually happening in your body during perimenopause, why weight gain is so common during this phase (which can last 7–10 years 😳), and why fat suddenly shifts to the midsection—even when your eating and movement haven’t changed.
