If you are struggling with fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, or sleepless nights, this episode is the missing piece you have been looking for. Understanding hormone balance is not just about estrogen and progesterone. It starts much earlier in the hormonal chain, and getting to the root cause changes everything. In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck sits down with Dr. Andrea Colon, a naturopathic doctor and founder of Reclaim Integrative in Newport Beach, California, who specializes in women's hormone health and metabolic medicine. Together, they walk through the steps for lifestyle, nutrition, supplementation, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to restore balance, energy, and vitality. From understanding why cortisol imbalance is the upstream driver of so many symptoms women dismiss as inevitable aging, to exploring how to balance hormones naturally for women before ever adding HRT, this conversation is both practical and empowering.
