Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka | TUH #227

About this video

In a vulnerable episode with his wife Sage, Brecka walks through her perimenopause and menopause journey, which began in her thirties with mood shifts, exhaustion, brain fog, low libido and a frozen shoulder that resisted many therapies they tried. They describe hormone testing — including a DUTCH test — as the turning point that made her results visible, discuss precursor hormones at a general level, and urge couples to prepare questions before doctor visits.

Key takeaways

• Sage states she assumed she was too young for perimenopause, which she says can begin in a woman’s thirties
• The couple claim comprehensive hormone testing explained symptoms that many other approaches had not resolved
• Brecka argues menopause is one of the most underserved areas of women’s health
• They advise studying test options beforehand so patients can partner effectively with their doctor
