On today's episode Laura discusses hormone replacement therapy.  This is not medical advice, it’s me sharing what I’ve learned through research, client work, and personal observation. The goal is to give you the bigger picture so you can make informed, grounded choices about your health.HRT is being pushed harder than ever, and many women are told that aging automatically means to go on HRT. But your body was designed to shift through each life stage with purpose. In this episode,  Laura break's down how hormones naturally change over time, why the current hype around estrogen is misleading, the differences between conventional HRT and bio-identical HRT, and what risks and benefits you need to know. Most importantly, we’ll talk about the foundations you should put in place before even considering HRT, because no patch, pellet, or cream can fix a stressed-out, undernourished, or burnt-out body.___________LINKSLaura’s Info:Instagram: @wildlyonswellnessWebsite: www.wildlyonswellness.comOfferings:Wild + Well-Fed CourseWild + Well-Fed Clinic Shop Wild + Well-FedWild + Well-Fed Journal on SubstackMembership + Eat Your Prenatal are no longer available.
