E164 | Menopause Is Not One Size Fits All
Standardized menopause protocols leave too many women exhausted, inflamed, and convinced they are the problem. We break down why symptoms can persist even with “normal labs” or HRT and what truly individualized menopause care looks like across hormones, metabolism, and the nervous system. On today's show, Laken and Lindsey discuss:
• why one size fits all menopause care falls short
• how hormone receptors and cellular response shape symptoms
• why menopause is more than low estrogen and impacts full-body metabolism
• the weight gain cycle: insulin resistance, muscle loss, cortisol, and undereating
• how evidence-based guidelines support individualized HRT decisions
• FDA-approved hormones vs compounded hormones and when each makes sense
• testosterone therapy for women: potential benefits, risks, and why dosing matters
• why nervous system regulation and stress patterns change hormone outcomes
• how coaching supports consistency, boundaries, sleep, and sustainable change
• building care around symptom patterns, labs, lifestyle, and personal goals
