Episode 8: Reversing Menopause: The Science of Restoring a Woman’s Full Function

In this groundbreaking episode, Marie Hoäg, Clinical Hormone Coach, challenges one of the deepest myths in women’s health: that menopause is inevitable and irreversible.

Marie reveals how advanced, therapeutic-dose HRT—designed for full physiologic restoration—can actually reverse menopause for many women and keep them there for life.

Drawing from two decades of clinical experience, Marie walks listeners through the five steps and three phases of reaching the Hormone Sweet Spot™, a clinical destination where a woman feels—and tests—as though she’s in her reproductive prime.

This isn’t low-dose HRT “management.” It’s FULL hormone restoration.
It’s the difference between living like the walking dead and feeling fully alive again.

💡 What You’ll Learn

• The truth about menopause: It’s a disease caused by estrogen and progesterone deficiency that can be reversed by addressing the root cause of the deficiency.
• The difference between prevention and reversal: When to start HRT, and what makes each possible.
• Why conventional HRT fails: How low-dose, symptom-management protocols keep women in menopause, feeling like hell, and riddled with mental illness.
• The 5 steps to the Hormone Sweet Spot™: a roadmap to sustainable hormone balance.
• The 3 phases of hormone restoration: From receptor building to full optimization and lifelong maintenance.
• How estrogen transforms mental and physical health: Reversing depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, joint pain, and cognitive decline.
• Why coaching is critical: Avoiding “futzing” with hormones and learning to read your body’s indicators correctly.

💬 Key Takeaways

• Menopause does not have symptoms. Menopause IS a symptom of hormone deficiency.
• Low-dose HRT is symptom management; advanced HRT is full restoration.
• The body can “wake up” from menopause when given enough estrogen and progesterone in the right amounts and in the right way.
• Mental illness, fatigue, and apathy often disappear once hormones are fully restored.
• The Hormone Sweet Spot™ is both a science and an art—measurable in labs, but felt deeply in a woman’s life.

🩸 Real-World Success Stories

Marie shares the inspiring stories of:

• Tracy (age 52): Went from near job loss and daily tears to regaining her cycle, career, and confidence within months.
• Shelly (age 72): After decades on low-dose hormones, she restored her brain, body, and libido—and says she’ll “never give up these hormones over my dead body.”

Both women achieved full mental, physical, and emotional restoration—proof that age is not the defining factor, but estrogen deficiency is.

🧠 Moxie’s Message

“No woman with plenty of estrogen experiences menopause—no matter how old she is.”

“Women deserve more than symptom management hormone therapy. They deserve full restoration and to feel alive again.”
