The Truth About Hormone Balancing
Hormone balancing is making its way around every social platform. This urge to balance fluctuating hormones has its merits: It stems from wanting to minimize the most disruptive symptoms of menopause, like hot flashes, brain fog and sleep issues. Women are looking everywhere for symptom relief. But I’m here to tell you that attempting to balance your hormones won’t do the trick. Instead, you want to focus on managing the symptoms that result from your naturally fluctuating hormones, not the other way around. In this episode of Medsplaining, we look at three important hormones—estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—and learn about their vital roles in your body’s functionality.

Your Go-To Skincare Guide with Estée Lauder
Season 1 of Medsplaining is brought to you by Estée Lauder, so of course we were thrilled to offer you this exclusive episode all about skincare with Estée Lauder’s field executive training manager Janice James. Our skin changes during perimenopause and menopause. That’s often because as estrogen levels decline, collagen production is altered, leading to dryness, thinning and irritation of the skin, whether that presents as itchiness, burning, allergic reactions or easy cuts and bruises. Luckily, Janice is here to share with us the best ways to take care of our skin, no matter our age. Janice has been training with Estée Lauder for 20 years. She’s travelled the country educating beauty advisors on the latest Estée Lauder products. Working closely with customers helps her understand what people's skincare wishes really are and how to best address them. Janice’s holiday gift guide: For teens: Nutritious Collection: 2-in-1 Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask, Radiant Essence Treatment Lotion, Airy Lotion Moisturizer For adults: Advanced Night Repair Collection: Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix, Revitalizing Supreme+ Moisturizer Older adults: Perfectionist Pro Rapid Brightening Treatment Serum, Resilience Multi-Effect Tri-Peptide Eye Creme Follow Janice on IG @ janicebeautybytes Season 1 of Medsplaining is brought to you by Estée Lauder Use code DRZ15 for 15% OFF all Estée Lauder products at http://esteelauder.ca Follow Medsplaining on all your favourite platforms!
