## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jen Gunter — OBGYN, bestselling author of The Vagina Bible, The Menopause Manifesto, and Blood, and one of the most trusted voices in evidence-based women's health. We dive into the misinformation crisis that's reshaping how women navigate menopause, from hormone balancing and compounded hormones to estrogen on the face, testosterone hype, and the wild west of supplements. Dr. Gunter breaks down where the evidence actually stands on MHT and brain health, cardiovascular protection, and the wellness industry tactics that are driving women toward unregulated, unproven treatments — and away from the evidence. Whether you're a physician trying to guide your patients or a woman trying to make sense of it all, this conversation will leave you better equipped to cut through the noise. -- Click here to follow Jen on Social Media @drjengunter Click here to check out Jen's Vagenda Newsletter
