Dr Darcy Graham- Hot Flashes, Brain Fog, And Seven Kids Walk Into A Clinic

Описание: Hot flashes at dinner, brain fog at work, zero interest in intimacy by night—if that sounds familiar, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. We sit down with Dr. Darcy Graham, DNP and founder of Grit and Grace Wellness, to demystify perimenopause and menopause with clarity, compassion, and real-world tools that fit a busy life.

Darcy shares how she moved from labor and delivery to hormone-focused care, why a single lab draw can’t define your story, and what has changed about hormone replacement therapy now that outdated fears are being challenged. We get specific about the symptoms most women whisper about—fatigue, anxiety spikes, night waking, and libido loss—and map them to practical options: balanced estrogen and progesterone, careful use of testosterone, and simple lifestyle shifts that lower inflammation and stabilize energy. Expect candid talk on weight gain through the middle, why protein matters more now, how light strength training protects your metabolism, and the surprising ways alcohol and sugar sabotage sleep and hormones.

We also dig into access and advocacy. Learn what questions to ask your provider, how to find clinicians trained in menopause care, what insurance often covers, and where compounded options fit. Darcy’s philosophy is grounded and doable: treat the person first, use labs wisely, make small changes that compound, and build a circle of women who keep you buoyant when life gets loud. If you’ve been told to “just deal with it,” consider this your permission to expect better care and a better baseline.
