If you’ve ever felt confused by your hormones—or unsure how to support your body through postpartum, perimenopause, or midlife changes—this episode will bring so much clarity.
Lauren sits down with Stephanie Traver, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP) and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) in Erie, Colorado, and founder of Vital: Safe, Simple Menopause Support, to unpack the hormonal changes that occur throughout midlife, perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
