## Resource

Today I’m joined by Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, an OBGYN turned functional medicine expert.

Dr. Cracroft helps us break down what’s actually going on hormonally and how to support your body in a more holistic way. In this episode, we talk about: • The different phases of perimenopause and how to recognize the signs.• What hormone balance really means and when HRT may or may not be appropriate.• How to tell the difference between high estrogen and low estrogen symptoms — and why that distinction matters.• The role of lifestyle factors.• Annual screenings — including pap smears and mammograms — and understanding your options so you can make informed decisions.• Preconception health and important lab tests to consider before trying to conceive, so you can set yourself (and your future baby) up for the best possible start.
