What if everything you thought you knew about menopause was either wrong, incomplete, or decades behind the science?Tammy Hadfield has been a women's health nurse practitioner for over 35 years — 25 of those as a hormone specialist. She was in the field in 2001 when the Women's Health Initiative scared an entire generation of women away from hormone therapy. Instead of backing down, she leaned in. She spent years being called one of the "crazy gals" giving hormones to women when most of the medical community said not to. The science eventually caught up. Her patients were better long before it did.This conversation covers everything you've been wondering about perimenopause and menopause — bioidentical versus synthetic hormones, why your cholesterol and your weight might have more to do with estrogen than your diet, what the hormone cascade actually looks like, and why the annual Pap smear is not the appointment to bring up your hot flashes, your mood changes, or your missing libido.But this episode also becomes something deeply personal. Tammy attended the BEST LIFE Retreat in Sun Valley in October 2025 — and what happened in the months after, including a planning meeting where she took a black Sharpie to her patient load and crossed out the number she'd been chasing, is one of the most honest things Laurie has heard in a recording studio.What we coverTammy's origin story: from postpartum nursing to military service in Alaska to hormone trailblazerWhat happened on the Today Show in 2001 — and how a single news segment derailed decades of women's healthWhy Tammy was considered "crazy" for giving hormones to women — and what the data eventually showedBioidentical versus synthetic hormones: what the difference actually means and why it matters for dosing and side effectsPremarin — the story behind the name, and why Tammy tells patients "I'm not a veterinarian and you're not a horse"Why all your hormones come from cholesterol — and what that means for women who are told their cholesterol is too highWhy your body holds onto fat when estrogen is low — and why estrogen is not making you fat; excessive estrogen isThe full hormone picture: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA — what each does and why all four matterWhy women who've had a hysterectomy are often wrongly told they don't need progesteroneThe difference between progestin (synthetic) and progesterone (bioidentical) — and why they are not the same thingADHD in menopause: why symptoms spike when estrogen and testosterone declineAlzheimer's, brain protection, and why 70% of new Alzheimer's cases are womenWhen hormone deficiencies actually start — and why Tammy says mid-30s, not menopauseWhy your annual Pap smear is the wrong appointment for this conversationTammy's biggest pet peeve: the male testosterone formulation being prescribed to women with instructions to use "a tenth of the packet"The four cornerstones that support hormones: nutrition, sleep, movement, and connectednessWhy Tammy closed her brick-and-mortar practice, stopped taking insurance, and launched Only HormonesHow to work with Tammy — including insurance, labs, FSA/HSA, and what the process looks likeThe BEST LIFE Retreat: what shifted for Tammy, the planning meeting with the blank calendar, and why she took a Sharpie to the patient number she thought she wantedRedefining success: from 30 patients a week to 12 — and why that's the better versionPermission to dream again — and why wanting what you want is not selfishWhat Tammy loves most about being a midlife womanWhat she'd tell her 20-year-old self: glimmers, breathing, and relaxingQuotable moments"I'm not a veterinarian, and you are not a horse — so we're not going to use this for your hormone replacement therapy.""All of your hormones come from cholesterol. Every single hormone.""Estrogen is not going to make you fat. Excessive estrogen will. But we need some estrogen so that our body can actually get rid of fat.""I just do hormones. I love hormones. That's all I wanna do.""Your appointment with me should be the easiest appointment you ever have.""I'm just your girlfriend on FaceTime.""We are taught as little girls not to be selfish — over and over again. And it's not selfish. It is figuring out what kind of life I want.""I took a freaking black Sharpie to that number of patients and said, 'Screw it. I'm gonna see 12.'""It's a redefinition of what I think success is. That's probably the bottom line.""I don't have to accept a smaller version of what I want my life to look like.""I would just tell myself: take a moment for yourself and breathe, girl. Just breathe."Resources + links mentionedThe Menopausal Brain by Lisa MosconiOnly Hormones — Tammy Hadfield's practiceApply for the BEST LIFE MastermindBook a 15-minute call with LaurieConnect with Tammy HadfieldWebsiteEmailInstagram📩 JOIN MY MAILING LISThttps://www.schoolofmidlife.com/newsletter👉 CONNECT WITH LAURIE:📩 Email Laurie ...
