Real Food Stories

Stacy Brix, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with a passion for perimenopause, joins Heather to challenge outdated misconceptions and bring clarity to a critical phase in women's health. Discover how her professional journey and personal experiences have led her to focus on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), shedding light on the often misunderstood benefits it offers beyond symptom relief.
Together, we aim to equip women with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their health, while addressing common hurdles like misdiagnosis and inadequate care that many women face. By tackling the persistent fears linked to the Women's Health Initiative study, we highlight the broader health benefits of HRT, encompassing heart, bone, and mental health improvements.
Navigate the perimenopausal journey with evidence-based support as Stacy shares essential insights on questions to ask your healthcare providers. Discover why many women might not need to seek out expensive specialty clinics or hormone tests and learn how primary care providers and gynecologists can often offer the necessary guidance. Stacy's commitment to holistic health coaching and lifestyle changes provides a fresh lens through which to view the often perplexing wellness space.
