Dr. Lyster brings decades of experience in women's health and a particular focus on helping women navigate hormonal changes in midlife.
In this episode, she joins us to explore the critical questions women face in their 40s and 50s. We discuss why perimenopause starts years before the last period, the science behind menopause brain fog, and how estrogen and progesterone interact with the brain to trigger sudden anxiety, insomnia, or ADHD-like symptoms.
We navigate confusing territory—including bioidentical HRT, libido, and metabolic changes—to ask an important question: Are we treating psychiatric symptoms without recognizing the underlying hormonal transition? While hormones don’t explain everything, the real conversation is how the brain, body, and life stages interact.
Menopause is a complex transition involving sexuality, identity, and mental health—and women deserve better conversations about it. Join Too Curious MDs as we explore the intersection of integrative health, neuroscience, and the human experience, because sometimes the most important medical question is the one nobody thought to ask.
