Danielle Kriegsman is a licensed therapist and the founder of Her Talk Therapy, where she helps women navigate a faulty BRCA gene diagnosis and a difficult menopause. After her own BRCA diagnosis, double mastectomy, and hysterectomy, she found that the surgical menopause was far harder than she had been told, and that very few providers were prepared to help.

In this episode, Danielle and Dr. Adam Sewell discuss:

  • Why Danielle found her hysterectomy and surgical menopause harder than her double mastectomy
  • Insomnia, night sweats, brain fog, and crying spells: the symptoms she was never warned about
  • Why so few newly trained OB-GYN, family medicine, and internal medicine doctors feel comfortable treating menopause
  • How depression questionnaires and single hormone labs can lead to missed perimenopause
  • What the WHI study actually showed, and why hormone therapy prescriptions dropped for decades
  • Asking your surgeon about starting estradiol before or right at surgery
  • How clinicians can refer patients to Danielle for short-term or ongoing support
