122. What to Expect When You Start Hormone Replacement Therapy

Sep 9, 2026 21 min

Starting hormone replacement therapy can feel both exciting and overwhelming. What should you expect? How do you find the right provider? Which delivery method is best? And how long does it take before you actually start feeling better? In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia Petrilli walks you through what the HRT journey can look like, from finding a hormone-savvy provider to understanding different delivery methods and the importance of starting low and going slow. Claudia discusses why simply finding someone who can prescribe HRT isn't always enough, what questions to ask when interviewing a provider, and why finding the right dose and combination of hormones can take some patience and fine-tuning. She also breaks down progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and several different delivery options, including patches, creams, pills, troches, injections, and pellets. Plus, she shares some of her own experiences with HRT, including the changes she noticed when starting testosterone and the difference estrogen made for her period-related body aches. If you're considering HRT or have already started and aren't sure what to expect, this episode will help you better understand the process and feel more prepared to advocate for yourself. In this episode, we covered: How to find an HRT provider Different deliveries of hormone replacement therapy Why hormone injections and pellets are not recommended Side effects of hormone replacement therapy Progesterone hormone replacement therapy Estrogen hormone replacement therapy Testosterone & DHEA hormone replacement therapy Sources: Women's International Pharmacy Institute of Bioidentical Medicine (IOBIM)-trained providers The Academy for Preventive and Innovative Medicine (Worldlink Medical) Institute for Functional Medicine Carol Petersen, RPh, CNP Dr. Phyllis Bronson _______________________________________________________________________________ To learn about hormone therapy, grab Claudia'...

Aug 5, 2026 9 min

Between supplements, protocols, and influencers all claiming to have "the answer," it's easy to end up more overwhelmed than when you started — chasing what worked for someone else instead of what your own body actually needs.

GLP-1 medications and peptides are everywhere right now - but the conversation around them has become loud, polarized, and often missing context.

99. Boundaries in Perimenopause: Why They Matter More Than You Think

Feb 25, 2026 8 min

In this episode, we're talking about one of the most overlooked drivers of how women feel in midlife and perimenopause: boundaries.

We covered: • Why stress and overstimulation hit differently after 40 • How lack of boundaries can worsen perimenopause symptoms • The hidden cost of constant information consumption & social media • Why energy depletion often mimics hormone problems • How to reassess what's truly worth your time and attention 👉CLASS REPLAY: The Real Reason You Feel 'Off' After 40: Why Your Mood, Energy, Sleep, Weight & Sex Drive Change - and What Actually Helps ➡️GRAB THE REPLAY HERE. 👉GET SUPPORT: The Perimenopause Method.

Feb 18, 2026 7 min

Perimenopause isn't the phase of life where more podcasts, Instagram advice, or short programs create lasting change. When hormones, stress tolerance, metabolism, sleep, and the nervous system are all shifting at once, information alone isn't enough. In this episode, I explain why piecemealing your health keeps you stuck in midlife and why strategy and ongoing guidance are the missing pieces for real symptom improvement. You'll learn: Why consuming more health information often worsens confusion in perimenopause How multiple systems shifting at once changes what actually works after 40 The difference between education and guidance and why it matters in midlife Why The Perimenopause Method exists and who it's designed to support 👉CLASS REPLAY: The Real Reason You Feel 'Off' After 40: Why Your Mood, Energy, Sleep, Weight & Sex Drive Change - and What Actually Helps ➡️GRAB THE REPLAY HERE. 👉GET SUPPORT: The Perimenopause Method.

96. Should You Get HRT or Peptides from an Online Telehealth Company?

Feb 4, 2026 8 min

More women are turning to online telehealth companies for hormones, peptides, and thyroid support - and for good reason. These platforms have made care more accessible and more empowering than ever. But access doesn't always equal personalization. In this episode, we explore when telehealth hormone clinics can be a great fit, where their limitations lie, and how to know whether you need simple support or a more strategic approach in perimenopause. You'll learn: Why telehealth HRT and peptide clinics are rapidly growing What these companies do well (and who they're ideal for) Where protocol-based care can fall short in complex midlife cases How hormones, minerals, thyroid, stress, and metabolism are interconnected How to decide between telehealth or personalized functional care >> WATCH ON YOUTUBE ----------------------------------------------------------------- 🎉NEW LIVE CLASS on February 17th: The Real Reason You Feel 'Off' After 40: Why Your Mood, Energy, Sleep, Weight & Sex Drive Change — and What Actually Helps ➡️GRAB A SPOT HERE. ----------------------------------------------------------------- LOVE THE SHOW?

Jan 28, 2026 8 min

You were told your iron is low - but is that really true? In this episode, Claudia breaks down why low ferritin does not automatically mean iron deficiency, why so many women are incorrectly told to take iron supplements, and how incomplete lab testing leads to more confusion and symptoms. You'll learn: Why ferritin alone does not tell the full iron story Key iron labs most providers miss (serum iron, transferrin, iron saturation, TIBC/UIBC) Additional labs that are essential to assess iron status Why iron supplements can make symptoms worse Common causes of low iron and low ferritin in women over 40 How heavy periods, low progesterone, and fibroids affect iron status The role of gut health, stomach acid, and stress in iron absorption What a root-cause approach to low iron actually looks like Ona's Natural Progesterone Cream (I recommend Luna Pro 10 or Luna Pro 20) Iron and Cell Damage Limitations of Serum Ferritin in Diagnosing Iron Deficiency Low Stomach Acid and Low Iron LOVE THE SHOW?

Jan 21, 2026 12 min

You've likely heard about magnesium being a miracle mineral and you're probably taking a supplement to help with some of your perimenopause symptoms, but supplementing randomly often leads to frustration. In this episode, I unpack why so many women over 40 struggle to raise magnesium levels, why electrolytes matter more than you think, and how minerals like sodium and potassium determine whether your body can actually use the magnesium you take. If you're tired of guessing with supplements and want a smarter plan, this episode will help you understand what your body actually needs — without the hype. You'll learn: What magnesium does for hormones, mood, sleep, and metabolism after 40 Hidden drains on magnesium (i.e. stress, medications, alcohol, processed foods, etc) Why many women don't feel better on magnesium – and what cofactors are missing The truth about electrolytes and why they may not be working for you How HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) helps reveal whether you're absorbing minerals or just guessing WATCH ON YOUTUBE Try my favorite topical magnesium for better absorption HERE!

Feeling exhausted, wired, and stuck in a loop of burnout? You do everything right: sleep, clean eating, supplements…but still feel like your energy is on fumes. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why hormone tests alone often miss the root cause. We'll dive deep into how mineral depletion (you read that right) is the missing piece of the puzzle for many over-functioning, type-A women. You'll learn: • The true signs of burnout vs. what's "normal aging" • What your body is trying to tell you by saying "you can't rest" • How I use HTMA (hair mineral analysis) in my practice (and why we start there) • Patterns I see in high-achieving women over 40 • Actionable steps to rebuild energy physically, emotionally, and hormonally This one's for the woman who literally can't slow down, even though her body is begging her to.

You'll hear what most people are afraid to say out loud and practical shifts that help you slow down, ask for support, set boundaries, and build a life that actually feels sustainable.
