How DNA clues can rewrite your Menopause story
What if your DNA could explain why your hormones behave the way they do during perimenopause and how to actually feel better? In this episode, journalist, researcher, and podcast host Suzanne Rethans shares her wild ten-year journey from anxiety and sleepless nights at 37 to uncovering groundbreaking genetic links that change how we understand menopause.
We talk about:
Why “just take more estrogen” isn’t always the answer
How hormone therapy, when tailored to your genetics, can be a game changer
The surprising connection between perimenopause and your mental health
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too young” for menopause symptoms, or you just want to geek out on the science that could change your health, this conversation will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take charge.
