"The Labs Look Normal." Then why are women still suffering? | Sarah Musleh

In this episode of On to the Next Quarter, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Musleh, endocrinologist and co-founder of Anzara Health, to explore why so many women are being told "everything looks normal" while feeling anything, but normal.

We dive into the realities of hormones, metabolism, perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, thyroid health, weight gain, and the growing disconnect many women experience with their bodies. Dr. Sarah shares what she's seeing firsthand in her practice, why so many symptoms are overlooked or misdiagnosed, and what every woman should know about advocating for their health.

But this conversation goes beyond medicine. We talk about modern life, chronic stress, prevention, the importance of feeling truly heard by your healthcare provider, and what it means to take a more holistic approach to health and healing. 

Whether you're navigating hormonal changes, struggling to understand symptoms that don't seem to have answers, or simply want to better understand your body, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we discuss:

- Why so many women are told "everything looks normal"
- Perimenopause and menopause myths
- Hormones, metabolism, and weight gain
- The impact of stress, sleep, and lifestyle on hormones
- What holistic women's healthcare actually looks like
- How to become a better advocate for your own health
