Show Notes
Moms, imagine this: your daughter is riding the rollercoaster of puberty while you’re navigating perimenopause. Sound familiar? This episode takes us headfirst into the wild world of hormones equipped with the absolute best information.
We welcome back two powerhouse experts in gynecologic care: Dr. Karlie Provost Goldstein and Dr. Leigh Rosen of ESSE Care. Whether you’re in the thick of perimenopause, supporting a daughter through her first cycle—or both—their expertise is unmatched.
Dr. Goldstein and Dr. Provost share red flags about what’s normal and what’s not, even if it’s normal for you. They empower us with details about our bodies we never knew and empower us with facts:
- what period pain should feel like for teens and the limitations that definitely aren’t normal
- how to prepare young girls for the first period, emotionally and logistically
- when endometriosis might begin and the hidden symptoms that could be warnings
- the background on that infamous hormone replacement study that caused the wave of backlash on HRT
- an exhaustive list of treatment options for perimenopause symptoms (including some you’ve never heard of!) and how they work
ESSE Care has private practices in Los Angeles, Manhattan, and Fairfield County, CT, and specializes in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Learn more at their website and on their Instagram account @essecaresurgerywellness.
