Podcast Episode 366: From Ragey to Relief: The Hormone Secrets Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You with Elizabeth Shrader, DNP, MSN
You ever wake up at 2 a.m., drenched in sweat, irrationally mad at your ceiling fan, and 98% sure you’re losing your mind? Oh, and bonus: you’ve gained five pounds this month without changing your diet (or let’s be real—your coffee/wine habits)?
If this sounds familiar, it might not be burnout or “just stress.” It could be perimenopause—that sneaky hormonal rollercoaster that can start way earlier than anyone tells you (like your 30s early).
In our latest podcast episode, we talk with Elizabeth Shrader, DNP, MSN, a Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Bella Vita Integrated Healing. She’s here to say what your primary doc might not: you don’t have to “just deal” with it.
Elizabeth breaks down the myths around hormone replacement, explains why women’s health is often overlooked or flat-out misunderstood in traditional medicine, and shares how personalized care (think creams, patches, and yes—pellets in the butt!) can make a massive difference. Like, “feeling like yourself again in two weeks” kind of difference.
So, if you’ve been told everything looks “normal” but you’re still rage-screaming at your laundry pile and forgetting what day it is—this one’s for you.
Because the truth is: you’re not crazy. You’re hormonal. And there’s help for that.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- That hormonal shifts start earlier than you think—like your 30s early.
- What weird and yet very normal symptoms like sleep issues, weight gain, migraines, and more are often hormone-related.
- The truth about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)… isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it’s safer than you’ve been told.
- Why most providers won’t connect the dots to help you find relief.
