In this episode of 'But My Vagina Still Works,' we welcome Wendy Smittick to share her positive experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Wendy recounts her journey through perimenopause, the symptoms she faced, and how HRT transformed her life, particularly in rekindling intimacy with her husband. We also explore the different ways menopause affects women, especially women of color, and discuss holistic approaches alongside medical treatments. Wendy's story highlights the significance of sisterhood, recognizing one's unique journey, and valuing self-worth beyond societal and relational expectations. Join us for an enlightening and candid discussion on mental well-being, lifestyle changes, and finding balance during and after menopause.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction01:42 Wendy's First Signs of Perimenopause03:23 The Impact of Early Motherhood on Menopause06:31 Challenges of Menopause on Intimacy11:23 Discovering Hormone Replacement Therapy15:17 Benefits and Misconceptions of HRT18:01 Managing High Testosterone Levels20:28 Drawbacks of Hormone Replacement Therapy21:21 Exploring Holistic Solutions23:02 The Role of Cannabis in Menopause24:57 The Importance of Sisterhood25:45 Personal Transformation Through Menopause27:09 Embracing Authenticity and Self-Worth31:59 Final Thoughts and Wisdom📌 Don’t forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe for more empowering episodes!Let's Connect!Follow our host, Sheryce Watson;Linktree: linktr.ee/bmvsw
