  • Ep 127 - Hormones Are Shifting — Are You Paying Attention?
    2025/10/13

    Hormone shifts don’t always scream — they whisper. If you’re living with type 1 diabetes, even subtle changes can throw everything off. In this episode, Melissa dives into why paying attention matters and how to use tools like the Greene Climacteric Scale to get clarity and confidence in midlife.

    Melissa shares:

    • Why you shouldn’t dismiss feeling “off” as just aging
    • A client story of regaining focus, balance, and energy after starting HRT
    • The subtle symptoms that whisper: anxiety, irritability, brain fog, weight gain, slower recovery, and aches and pains
    • Self-check questions to ask: Am I sleeping deeply? Has my focus shifted? Do I feel like myself most days?
    • How the Greene Climacteric Scale helps track patterns, validate your experiences, and start better conversations with your doctor

    In our Type 1 in Midlife Circle, we’re using the Greene Climacteric Scale to measure and track symptoms together — so no woman must navigate this season alone.

    Don’t brush off what’s changing. Pay attention, act, and surround yourself with women who understand both diabetes and midlife hormones.

  • Ep 126 - Vaginal Estrogen Unfiltered: Why We’re On It
    2025/10/06

    Menopause is about more than hot flashes—it also affects vaginal and urinary health. In this episode, Melissa Slemp and Kim Hines get candid about their decision to start vaginal estrogen, even without obvious symptoms, and how it can support long-term wellness.

    They dive into genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), share the benefits of vaginal estrogen, and highlight proactive steps women can take to protect their health. From intimacy to bladder health, Melissa and Kim answer common questions about safety, cost, diabetes management, and working with your doctor.

    This conversation is an honest look at why prevention matters, the importance of speaking openly about women’s health, and how to confidently explore your options with the right information and support.

    Melissa and Kim share:

    • Why vaginal estrogen is different from systemic HRT.
    • The common symptoms it can help prevent dryness, painful sex, UTIs, and bladder leakage.
    • Our personal experiences starting it, even without symptoms—as a proactive choice.
    • What we’ve learned from experts like Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Rachel Rubin.
    • Questions to ask your doctor if you’re considering it.
    • Practical tips on application, types available (cream, suppositories, ring), and cost.

    Takeaway: Vaginal estrogen isn’t just about comfort, it’s about prevention, confidence, and quality of life as we age with diabetes and beyond.

    In this conversation, Melissa dives into the importance of hormone replacement therapy for women—especially those living with diabetes. She challenges common misconceptions about menopause, shares the real benefits of HRT, and emphasizes why open conversations with healthcare providers are critical.

    Drawing from both research and personal experience, Melissa highlights how outdated studies continue to fuel fear and silence around HRT. Her goal: to give women the tools and confidence to make informed decisions about their health.

    Topics covered:

    · HRT offers far more than hot flash relief—it supports long-term health.

    · Many women with diabetes aren’t told about the advantages of HRT.

    · HRT can improve insulin sensitivity, making diabetes easier to manage.

    · Conversations about hormone therapy are often missing in women’s healthcare.

    · Personal stories reveal the real impact of low hormones on daily life.

    · The 2002 WHI study created unnecessary fear around HRT.

    · Women must advocate for themselves and seek accurate information.

    · Bioidentical hormones may be a safer, more effective option.

    · It’s never too late to explore hormone replacement.

    · Education and awareness are key to empowering women’s health decisions.
