What if your mood swings, anxiety, sleep issues, or loss of motivation aren't just "getting older?" What role does oxytocin really play in midlife, and why has it been overlooked for so long? In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant hormone scholar Dr. Lindsey Berkson, and we dive into a part of menopause that almost no one is talking about—what's happening in your brain.
We explore how hormones act as the body's Wi‑Fi system, and what happens when that signal gets disrupted. Could environmental toxins be hijacking not just estrogen and progesterone, but oxytocin too? And if so, how might that impact connection, libido, blood sugar, digestion, or even depression? This conversation gets bold, nuanced, and deeply eye-opening.
Dr. Berkson also challenges mainstream narratives around hormone therapy. Were we misled about estrogen and breast cancer? Why do some women struggle with HRT while others thrive? And could detoxification and nutrient status be the missing link? If you've ever wondered why your body isn't responding the way you expected, you won't want to miss this one!
In this episode, we uncover:
- How oxytocin impacts mood, sleep, libido, and connection in midlife.
- Why environmental toxins may disrupt your hormonal "Wi‑Fi."
- What makes some women struggle with hormone replacement therapy.
- How oxytocin supports blood sugar, digestion, and pain relief.
- Why estrogen and progesterone are more protective than you've been told.
Listen now, and let's start asking better questions about what's really happening in menopause!
