Most women are told to “just deal with it”—or they’re buried in conflicting advice. In this Brave Conversation, Dr. Tami Meraglia (MD, hormone + weight management specialist) cuts through the noise with practical, body-wise guidance you can use today. We talk about why individualized care matters, what most doctors were never taught about menopause, and how route and type of hormones make all the difference. From the “fine is a four-letter word” wake-up call to simple, science-backed shifts (think 10-minute post-meal walks and real-food fiber hacks), this episode is about reclaiming your energy, clarity, sleep, bones, and mood—without getting lost in influencer chaos. You are the CEO of your health; here’s how to hire right, advocate boldly, and feel more like yourself again. What You’ll Learn The critical difference in HRT: why type (body-similar/bioidentical) and route (topical vs. oral) can change risk/benefit—especially around clotting concerns. Your best timing window: how perimenopause and the first 10 years post-period shape long-term heart, brain, and symptom outcomes. Testosterone for women (yes, really): why it matters for energy, mood, focus, and libido—and smart ways to vet a provider. Bone health you can track: the two lab markers (P1NP and CTX) Dr. Tami uses to see if you’re building more bone than you’re breaking down. Everyday upgrades: easy wins like a 10-minute walk after meals and whole-food fiber boosts (chia, ground flax, even frozen-grated kiwi with the skin!). How to advocate: questions to ask, red flags to spot, and why “fine” isn’t the goal—vitality is.Dr. Tami Meraglia, MD is a nationally best-selling author of The Hormone Secret, CEO of BioThrive Life Clinic in Seattle (serving patients nationwide via telehealth), and host of the UpGraded Biology podcast. A physician specializing in hormones and weight management for 20+ years, she’s been featured on Good Morning America, Fox News, NBC, and ABC, and speaks internationally on women’s health and longevity.

Take a journey back with Laurie to a quiet island where everything looked fine on the outside. But inside her home—and heart—was a silent unraveling. She had three kids, a husband with a secret, and a growing knowing in her gut she could no longer ignore.

I was so full of fear around all the “how-to’s,” not sure if I could actually manage the technical side of it all, let alone do it on my own. But you… you made it feel doable. You took what felt overwhelming and turned it into something joyful, creative, and even easy. Your encouragement, support, and step-by-step guidance helped me move from fear to flow—and now here we are, The Being Brave Tour podcast is live! I never could’ve done this without you. You truly are a gift—and I’m so grateful our paths crossed. Karen Rae Karen@favelifestyles.com
