   Understanding Menopause: Symptoms, Treatments, and Myths with Dr. Traci DeSplinter

   Episode 34 of The Care Room with Dr. Cindy features Dr. Traci DeSplinter in an empowering and eye-opening conversation on Understanding Menopause: Symptoms, Treatments, and Myths. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. DeSplinter; board-certified in OBGYN and Obesity Medicine and certified by The Menopause Society, shares a comprehensive, compassionate approach to helping women navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence, clarity, and support. Through her practice, Refined Women’s Health, she focuses on more than just symptom management, combining hormonal health, metabolic care, and prevention strategies to help women optimize their health and reduce risks like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. In this episode, she breaks down what’s really happening in the body during this transition, highlights symptoms that are often overlooked from joint pain and sleep changes to mood shifts and cycle irregularities, and challenges the long-standing myth that women should simply “deal with it.” With evolving treatment options and renewed access to hormone therapy, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and practical insight for women who want to feel like themselves again. Whether you’re approaching this stage or already navigating it, this episode is a powerful reminder that support exists, options exist, and you deserve to feel your best.You can find Dr. DeSplinter here:Website: www.tracidesplintermd.comwebsite: https://www.refinedwomenshealth.com/ (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbG9aWXZuMGVmbjZjamxIbGJOQkFfcUtidWxud3xBQ3Jtc0tuSGR6Z1FQSW5COFhNSVVZSkJKT09fVzdlU3lIYlphZkVMYl9fWGRLTTM0QjNSSjVXZ3hQbkRHRk1MZ3JPTmJJYzZxblN6cHU2MWZYZHdrY24zaVh5NTdHX1pERVUxQUZoRGFMTklpSUFRVHRYMmVfRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.refinedwomenshealth.com%2F&v=SCB5Z9KSvcg)

Dr. Coulter—double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease and founder of Infinity ID, shares a refreshing perspective on how the microbiome influences nearly every aspect of your health, from immunity and metabolism to mental and hormonal well-being, revealing that your gut is more like a living ecosystem than a fixed system.In this episode, we explore why there may be no such thing as a “perfect” gut, how your microbiome can begin shifting in as little as 24 hours, why quick fixes like over-relying on probiotics often fall short, and the truth behind popular gut health tests. Dr. Coulter explains how sustainable habits not extremes, lead to real, lasting healing, and how our bodies are constantly working toward balance when we support them with consistency and intention.What makes this conversation even more unique is how Dr. Coulter connects science, lifestyle, and even nature, showing how our internal health mirrors the ecosystems around us. This episode is filled with “aha” moments that challenge common health trends, shift the way you think about your body, and empower you to approach your health in a more grounded, realistic way.
