  Could You Be Losing Bone and Not Know It?

  Sep 28, 202637 min

  Dr. Chhaya Makhija was teaching 160 students when she couldn't remember the name of a disorder. She had also been waking up with night sweats before her period. Those changes were hard to ignore. Then, in her late 30s, she ordered a scan of her own bones. What it showed is why she wants you checked long before 65. In this episode of Menopause Stories with Dr. Tamara Beckford, Dr. Makhija shares her perimenopause story and explains why your bones need attention before a fracture. We talk about the age bone loss starts, the bone test you shouldn't rely on, the difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis, and how food and strength training protect your bones.

  Menopause's Hidden Grief

  Sep 21, 202636 min

  There's a sentence Dr. Beckford hears more than any other. Usually right at the end of the visit: "I just don't feel like myself anymore." If that's you, there's a reason, and it's not just hormones doing what hormones do. In this episode, Dr. Beckford names something most women carry alone and never say out loud. She also shares new brain research from Cornell showing real, measurable changes during this transition, not just normal aging. Then she gives you a way forward, five steps to move from feeling lost to feeling like yourself again. What you'll learn Why what you're feeling has a real name, and why almost nobody uses it What new Cornell research shows about your brain during this transition Why this shift touches nearly everything about you at once How to tell the difference between what you're feeling and depression, and when to get help A five-step way through it, one step at a time Why what's ahead isn't a smaller version of you Resources & Next Steps: The 5 biggest lies keeping you sharp, rested, and feeling like yourself again (live webinar, Sept 22) https://go.trulybalancedwc.com/brain-fog-exhaustion-webinar Not sure if it's hormonal?

  Why you're gaining weight in perimenopause after 40

  Sep 14, 202641 min

  You haven't changed your food. You haven't changed your workouts. So why does the scale keep climbing? Dr. Tamara Beckford breaks down what's actually happening in your body during this shift, and why "eat less, move more" misses the real cause. Using a story many women will recognize, she walks through the SHIFT Method: five hormonal changes driving this weight gain, and a specific move for each one. Muscle loss. Insulin resistance. Where hormone therapy fits. What tools actually help and why. You deserve to know the rules have changed before you spend one more year blaming yourself for something your hormones are doing.

  The UTI Won't Stop Coming Back. Here's Why

  Aug 31, 202633 min

  Another UTI. Another round of antibiotics. Another one right behind it a few weeks later. If that cycle sounds familiar, you've probably been told it's bad luck, bad hygiene, or just something that happens as you get older. Dr. Tamara Beckford sees this pattern constantly in her practice, women getting treated over and over for infections that keep returning, while nobody ever asks the one question that actually matters. In this episode, she breaks down Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause, the estrogen-driven shift that changes the vaginal and bladder environment and makes recurrent UTIs, dryness, and urinary frequency so much more likely after 40. She also shares what can happen when this gets missed for years, and why in older women, an untreated infection can turn into a medical emergency. If you or someone you love keeps getting UTIs and nobody has connected it to hormones, this conversation could change how you handle it going forward.

  Perimenopause vs Menopause: What's The Difference

  Aug 24, 202630 min

  You've heard the words. Perimenopause. Menopause. Postmenopause. But nobody ever sat you down and explained what actually separates one from the next. So you've been guessing. Piecing it together from your mom, your group chat, a comment section at 11pm. In this episode, Dr. Tamara Beckford breaks down the three phases in plain language, including the exact moment your body crosses from one to the next. She also shares her STAGE method, the framework she uses with her own patients to figure out where they really stand. If you've ever wondered whether your symptoms even make sense for the stage you think you're in, this one's for you.
