In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jaclyn Piasta, a nationally recognized women’s health nurse practitioner and menopause expert, to demystify hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and sexual health for women in midlife. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Piasta breaks down the science in a relatable way so you can feel informed, empowered, and confident when it comes to your health.
