## Resource

What if many of the symptoms we blame on aging are actually signs of hormone imbalance? Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy is back on Grounded Wellness , and this time we're diving into one of the most requested topics in health today: hormones. From perimenopause and menopause to peptides and longevity, Dr. Connealy shares the strategies she uses to help patients optimize their health at every stage of life. In this episode, Bethany and Dr. Connealy discuss why hormone deficiencies may be one of the greatest threats to healthy aging, the growing role of peptides in human optimization and recovery, and why foundational habits like sleep, sunlight, movement, and stress management remain critical for long-term health.
