What's my hormone therapy dose, talking back to doctors, sore hips and more

Send us a text

In this solo episode of the Hotflash inc podcast, host Ann Marie McQueen kicks things off by responding to a listener question about whether she's mega-dosing estrogen, breaking down how to check your prescription and what guidelines to follow. Then, she reflects on her recent experience giving a keynote speech at Arab Health – navigating imposter syndrome, unexpected encouragement, and how she bounced back from her "no one would help the little hen" moment.

Ann Marie also dives into:

  • How she’s declaring January 29  as Hotflash Inc's official fresh start.

  • The ongoing debate over hormone therapy and the pushback she gets from doctors.

  • Why she's cutting out sugar (again) and the surprising effect it has on her pain levels.

  • The challenges of standing up for herself, saying no, and asking for what she deserves.

  • What happens when you think someone is hating your talk... and they turn out to be your biggest fan.

  • Why she refuses to endorse fitness programs that don’t align with how she – and most women – wants to train.

Plus, a shoutout to stay tuned for Hotflash inc Podcast guest Steph Ziev’s upcoming TEDx talk, a reminder to be the CEO of your own health, and an open invitation to text her – if she can ever figure out how to reply!
