Judy Greer is an actress and comedian who has appeared in numerous films and television series including Jawbreaker, Arrested Development, Archer, Jurassic World, and The Thing About Pam. She is passionate about hormone health in women over 40, and recently became a partner at Wile, a company that makes plant-based supplements for women’s hormonal health.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Hormonal shifts are normal for both men and women, but symptoms that might indicate you need hormonal support are fatigue, weight gain, trouble losing weight, and brain fog.
One in four women over the age of 40 is on antidepressants, but antidepressants may not be what is needed to minimize symptoms related to perimenopause.
Why it’s important to be mindful and listen to our bodies, not only to notice hormonal shifts, but anything feeling off or different in our physical or mental health, so we can catch changes early and advocate for ourselves better.
Changes take time—the importance of being patient when you start a new supplement, clean up your diet, or begin a fitness routine.
Why you should spend some time figuring out what self-care means to you at the phase of life in which you find yourself, and recognize that your needs change over time.
And so much more!
