## Resource

Are you experiencing subtle changes in sleep, mood, or resilience and wondering if it could be perimenopause? In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a board-certified gynecologist, Chief Medical Officer for Hers, and the author of the new book Generation M. We are completely reframing the conversation around menopause, transforming it from a time of fear into the "magic of midlife". With women spending up to 40% of their lives in the postmenopausal phase, Dr. Shepherd explains why we must proactively build our health for our 70s, 80s, and 90s rather than waiting for disease to strike. We tackle the widespread confusion surrounding Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), debunking the 20-year-old WHI study and addressing the misplaced public fears linking estrogen to breast cancer. We also discuss her work at Hers, the benefits of microdosing GLP-1s for weight maintenance and longevity, and the absolute necessity of safe peptide sourcing. Finally, Dr. Shepherd shares the exact advanced labs and supplements—including her personal creatine and hormone stack—that every woman should utilize to optimize her aging trajectory. Guest Information: Dr. Jessica Shepherd is the Chief Medical Officer at Hers and the founder of Sanctum Med Wellness in Dallas. You can find her new book, Generation M, and learn more about her platform at drjessicashepherd.com or on social media at @ModernMeno.
