March 22, 2024

Why are my joints hurting? What are these aches and pains that come and go? If these are questions you are asking yourself, then this episode is for you! It isn’t in your head; the hormonal fluctuations in perimenopause and beyond can increase our experience of pain and inflammation. But, there is hope. Listen in to find out from Dr. Lisa and Dr. Toni, what is happening and what you can do about it.


In today’s episode, we cover:


  • How your hormones are involved in inflammation and pain signals in your body
  • The importance of sleep, stress management and nutrition to impact your perception of pain
  • What blood work and other lab tests you can discuss with your doctor to get a thorough assessment if you experience pain
  • The different hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options to effectively manage pain and inflammation
