Menopause Hormone Therapy Explained: Benefits, Risks & Women’s Health with Dr. Anna Barbieri

Shannon Herbert, PhD, RD, CDN, RYT

Confused about menopause hormone therapy (HRT)? Learn the benefits, risks, and how it impacts metabolism, mood, and women’s health—plus a whole-person approach to care.

Menopause is having a moment (finally!) but with so much conflicting information about hormone replacement, it can be hard to know what’s actually evidence-based.

In Episode 8 of the Eat Kale and Cupcakes podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Anna Barbieri to unpack the science and nuance of menopause hormone therapy, including who it’s for, potential benefits and risks, and how it impacts metabolism, mood, bone health, and cardiovascular health.

We also explore the often-overlooked intersection between perimenopause, eating behaviors, and body image, and why a whole-person, individualized approach is essential when supporting women through this transition.

Whether you’re navigating symptoms yourself or supporting clients, this episode offers a grounded, clinically informed perspective on women’s health, hormones, and menopause care.
