Stop Wasting Money: 7 Supplements That Are Ruining Your Hormones After 40

Episode 266 Cover -  Stop Wasting Money: 7 Supplements That Are Ruining Your Hormones After 40

Are your supplements actually making your menopause symptoms worse?

Most women over 40 have a "supplement stack" they’ve built based on articles, social media trends, and health store recommendations. But as a double board-certified OB/GYN, I see the same pattern every day: women accidentally sabotaging their hormones with the very pills meant to fix them.

In this episode, I reveal the 7 common supplements that could be distorting your lab results, accelerating cellular aging, or even blocking your HRT from working. From the "Biotin Trap" to the dangers of high-dose melatonin, we’re breaking down the science and telling you exactly what to take instead.
