Dr Salome Masghati knows how complicated perimenopause is

Episode 120

Today Hotflash inc founder Ann Marie McQueen is speaking with a board-certified gynaecologist whose surgical career was focused on fibroids and endometriosis before she discovered her love for functional medicine and holistic therapy and discovered what it could do for women struggling with menopause, hormones and wellness.

Dr Masghati, who offers virtual consults worldwide in four languages, talks about treating patients from Lebanon to the Philippines, about the balance of estrogen and progesterone, the role of testosterone, the relevance of detoxification, ADHD in midlife, why some people want compounded hormones and why no matter what, we all need individualized treatments.

The conversation also delves into the misconceptions about hormone therapies, such as pellets, and how to support women as they undergo psychological and physical changes.
