Sweat, Tears, and Hormones

Menopause and perimenopause are not a “midlife crisis,” but a complex hormonal phase of life that affects the body, emotions, weight, and overall quality of everyday life. In this panel, we open a conversation about real symptoms — from hot flashes and mood changes to a slowed metabolism, shifts in appetite, and challenges with body weight — as well as the modern medical solutions, therapies, and treatments available today.

With expert perspectives from endocrinology and gynecology, alongside personal experiences, we speak openly and without panic about what is really happening with hormones, why the body responds differently to food and weight during this phase, and how being informed and taking a timely approach can significantly improve health and everyday functioning.
