How your hormones affect far more than you think – Dr William Declerck with Barbara Geusens

What to expect from this podcast

In this episode of Het Cosmetica Complot, Dr Barbara Geusens talks to Dr William Declerck, physician and co-founder of Uma Health, about (peri)menopause and the effect hormones have on your body.

Hormones affect more than two hundred processes in your body. Medical training devotes roughly ten pages to menopause. That gap explains a lot about what women run into when they bring their symptoms to a doctor.

The conversation covers:

• what hormones actually do, and why their influence reaches far beyond the cycle
• why symptoms in perimenopause vary so widely
• what a systemic approach looks like: the whole picture rather than symptom by symptom
• what you can do yourself during this phase of life

A 37-minute conversation, in Dutch.
