  • Resumen

  • In this episode, Michelle speaks with Dr. Carys Sonnenberg, a trailblazer in menopause care, who shares her extensive knowledge and holistic approach to women's health during the menopause transition. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Sonnenberg discusses crucial topics such as the often-overlooked aspects of perimenopause, the evolution of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) since the Women's Health Initiative study, and the broader benefits of progesterone. She emphasises the importance of individualised care, addressing lifestyle factors, and the role of nutrition in managing menopause symptoms. KEY TAKEAWAYS Menopause care should encompass not just hormonal treatments but also lifestyle factors, including diet, exercise, and mental health. A comprehensive approach considers the whole woman, addressing physical, emotional, and lifestyle aspects. Each woman's experience with menopause is unique, and treatment should be tailored to individual needs. Factors such as medical history, family history, and lifestyle must be considered when discussing options like hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The perception of HRT has evolved since the Women's Health Initiative study. While there are risks associated with HRT, particularly concerning breast cancer, the benefits often outweigh the risks for many women under 65. It's crucial for women to have informed discussions with healthcare providers about their specific situations. Diet plays a significant role in managing menopause symptoms. Emphasizing a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and proteins, along with adequate hydration and exercise, can help improve overall health and alleviate symptoms. Mental health symptoms, such as anxiety and brain fog, are common during perimenopause and menopause. Understanding that these changes are part of the hormonal journey can empower women to seek appropriate support and treatment, rather than feeling isolated or confused about their experiences. BEST MOMENTS "I think we have a way in conventional medicine, but we need to collaborate more with other specialties, particularly lifestyle medicine." "It's really important to understand what the benefits and the risks and any potential side effects are to that woman, because we all come in with different types of bodies." "The Women's Health Initiative study in 2002 obviously caused a widespread panic about HRT because the results were leaked before they were properly reviewed." "It's a risk-benefit chat every year that you're taking it. It shouldn't be someone that is told there is never anything that we can do."
