Back to EpisodesWhy Your HRT Isn't Working (And What Your Doctor Isn't Testing)
Description
This week on the Functional Aesthetician Podcast, we're talking about pelvic floor, painful sex, and HRT; three topics women in perimenopause and menopause aren't getting straight answers on.
If your labs came back "normal" but you don't feel normal, or your HRT isn't doing what you hoped, this episode is for you.
Joining me is Kim Bilyk, an occupational therapist, trauma-informed pelvic health therapist, and self-titled "Queen of Turn On."
Kim's own journey into this work started when she lost her period for eight months after a bikini competition, and her doctor's only answer was birth control.
That experience sent her deep into women's hormones and pelvic health, and she's been helping women get real answers ever since.
In this Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why doctors only offer birth control instead of answers
- What your pelvic floor is
- The crystal yoni egg practice
- Painful sex and vaginal dryness after 40, plus options beyond "just deal with it"
- Why HRT stops working, and the labs your doctor isn't running
- The DUTCH test and getting to the root cause of perimenopause symptoms
- Strength training vs. cardio after 40
- Why old trauma resurfaces during perimenopause
- The "calm container" and "womb tuition" practices to try today
