Hormone Therapy Explained: What Every Woman Deserves to Know

In this episode of Hormone Harmony, Nurse Practitioner Brittany Meeker sits down with Dr. Bimisa Augustin, DNP, to clear up the confusion surrounding hormone therapy and empower women with real, evidence-based insight. They dive into why symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, brain fog, and low libido often go unrecognized in younger women, and how hormone imbalances are frequently misdiagnosed as mental health issues. Dr. B breaks down myths around the WHI study and explains why bioidentical hormones are a safer, more effective approach.

Together, they explore how lab ranges don’t always tell the whole story, the emotional benefits of testosterone, and how birth control and gut health impact hormone balance. This episode is packed with practical wisdom for any woman looking to take control of her health, whether she's in her 20s or postmenopausal.
