Plant Medicine for Menopause: What Science and Ancient Healing Say Actually Works

In this episode of unPAUSED, Dr. Mary Claire Haver sits down with Dr. Suzanne Gilberg, a board-certified OB-GYN, integrative medicine expert, and author with nearly 30 years of clinical experience, including training in Ayurvedic medicine spanning almost two decades. Dr. Gilberg is the Chief Clinical Officer of Monarch, a membership-based healthcare practice built to restore what modern medicine has nearly eliminated: time, relationship, and trust between women and their clinicians.

The Case for Combining HRT and GLP-1s. The neuroprotective potential of this combination may prove to be its most significant long-term benefit. 

HRT and GLP-1 receptor agonists address different levels of the same biological disruption. HRT acts upstream, restoring the hormonal signaling environment that menopause withdraws. GLP-1 receptor agonists act downstream, targeting the visceral fat accumulation, insulin resistance, and dysregulated appetite that estrogen’s absence creates. They are complementary tools, not alternatives.
