Naturopathic Medicine and Perimenopause with Dr. Jody Shevins
Episode 6
Naturopathic, homeopathic and other natural treatments for symptoms of perimenopause.
In this episode I chat with Dr. Jody Shevins (jodykshevins.com) - a naturopathic doctor who has been in practice since 1984. What I love about Dr. Shevins is her pragmatic approach to health care. She also specializes in … homeopathy! If there is one touchpoint in the holistic world that seems to polarize folks the most - homeopathy is it. And while we don’t talk a ton about homeopathy in this episode - it is on the list. And I encourage folks with strong feelings about this modality to take a listen and keep an open mind. We even chat about taking a pro-vaccine stance in the naturopathic world - yes, this is a thing! https://ndsforvaccines.com/ We review what naturopathic tools are most effective for perimenopause, how to build the best approach for individual patients and how to focus on preventative medicine to extend the healthspan.
*** Quick note - I say HRT (hormone replacement therapy) a lot in tis episode when the better terminology is MHT (menopause hormone therapy). Working on updating my vocabulary!
