About the episode

Welcome to Episode 7! Dannielle shares about her beginnings with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Menopause Moments becomes a regular segment for us to make corrections and clarifications.

Some menopausal symptoms are annoying but more benign (hello, hotflashes!) but other symptoms are downright scary and may leave you panicked and feeling like you’re on death’s door. This is no joke! In this episode, we talk about scary symptoms that make us feel like we’re dying and how we can differentiate between the true life-threatening symptoms of a heart attack versus more symptoms fueled by menopause. As always, we discuss how estrogen (or the lack of it) impact our bodies.

We cover the importance of knowing our bodies, paying attention to what our bodies tell us, and advocating for our own health and wellness. Join us for another episode of sharing our real stories with you. Have a story you’d like to share? Drop us a line!
