SHE MD Podcast, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney are joined by psychiatrist Dr. Stacy Cohen to explore how hormones shape women’s emotional health across life stages. They dive into PMDD, postpartum mental health, perimenopause, and menopause, explaining these transitions as neurological and hormonal events rather than simple mood disorders. Dr. Cohen discusses how progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone affect mood, sleep, libido, and cognition, and why low-dose supplementation can be life-changing.
