Hot Flashes
About Hot Flashes
Hot flashes are one of the most common reasons women come to DrTalks. Waves of heat in the middle of a meeting, night sweats that soak the sheets, waking up again and again, or flashes that show up with anxiety and weight gain are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past menopause itself. The videos connect hot flashes to falling hormones, stress, blood sugar, inflammation, thyroid health and hormone-disrupting chemicals, and show how this time of life affects your heart, bones and brain. You'll find conversations on hormone therapy myths and facts, sleep in menopause, menopause and heart health, and natural approaches. Doctors, OB/GYNs and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from hormone and thyroid panels to bone density scans, and what helps, from hormone therapy and better sleep to strength training, herbs, nutrition and cutting back on everyday chemicals.
