In this episode, we covered: The transition from surgeon to regenerative & integrated medicine Why we need a holistic approach to perimenopause What is regenerative medicine? What does it mean to age with radiance? The benefits of hormone replacement therapy in perimenopause & menopause
Today I have a lovely guest, Dr. Prudence Hall with me.
Dr. Prudence Hall started as a traditional gynecological surgeon and transitioned her career to focus on regenerative and integrated medicine.
As the founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, CA, she saw a critical need to address the problems confronting women and men experiencing the stubborn and often debilitating symptoms associated with aging.
Her practice is focused exclusively on regenerative medicine, looking into the root causes of conditions and diseases rather than simply treating symptoms. She strives to help clients achieve optimal health and actively prevent disease without the use of pharmaceutical drugs when appropriate.
As a health consultant, she strives to help clients achieve optimal well-being and actively prevent inevitable decline using proven natural, regenerative methods. She is also the author of Radiant Again & Forever.

Jill is a Registered Nurse, Women’s Health Expert, and Menopause Educator who is calling B.S. on the “it’s all downhill from here” narrative on aging and teaching women how to reconnect with their bodies, support themselves through pausal stages, and advocate for their well-being forever and always.
Jill believes education is the key to helping women understand their bodies, manage their health, and advocate for themselves as they age. Jill created The Beginner's Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy to help women navigate the wild ride from perimenopause through menopause and beyond. In 2022, she launched Pausing Together, an online community for women to connect, learn, and open up discussions on topics that affect "PAUSAL" women.
Jill is a medical advisory board member at the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine (IOBIM), whose mission is to improve the standard of care in menopause medicine. Jill is a frequent guest speaker and has been called upon as a “pausal” guest expert on many podcasts so I’m thrilled to have her on Perimenopause Simplified today.
In this episode, we covered: Why is estrogen so important to us? What happens to estrogen in perimenopause? Is it really a case of estrogen dominance? Why is there so much fear around estrogen? What are the benefits of estrogen HRT? Why should progesterone be taken alongside estrogen? Are there any contraindications for taking estrogen HRT? Links Mentioned:Jill’s Website

In this episode, we covered: Breast cancer prevalence in the US Should you fear breast cancer? Heart disease - the #1 killer of women How should we be screening for breast cancer Should women have mammograms? Negative impact of breast cancer treatments Does estrogen cause breast cancer? What does ER (estrogen receptor) or PR (progesterone receptor) positive mean? Is HRT (hormone replacement therapy) safe to use after breast cancer? Dr. Jenn Simmons:
Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. This personal journey led her to create Real Health MD in 2019, a practice dedicated to holistic healing for breast cancer. It integrates conventional wisdom with root cause medicine and the drivers of health: nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification, and stress management. Dr. Jenn's innovative approach doesn't stop there.
As the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, she is establishing safe imaging centers across the nation, armed with revolutionary technology that promises to redefine breast cancer screening. This technology is not only fast and safe but also comfortable, affordable, radiation-free, and boasts 40 times the resolution of MRI. It has received FDA clearance, signaling a new era in breast health and breast cancer screening.

In this episode, we covered my own essential, non-negotiable health “hacks” to help me thrive in perimenopause.
These are things that I believe all humans need in order to thrive, the not-so-sexy things like supplements, testing and biohacking tools.
While those things certainly help and I use them myself, what I’m covering in this episode are things that truly move the needle when it comes to your health.
These are things we’ve seen work with many clients over the years and things I make time for every day that give me energy, help my mood, digestion, maintain my weight and more.
