In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia is joined by Dr. Ana Duarte, a medical doctor, expert in anti-aging and longevity medicine, and CSO of Eusari Nutrition. After 15+ years in pharmaceutical research, Ana hit her own perimenopause wall: burnt out, disconnected, and completely unprepared for the changes in her early 40s.

That experience led her to pursue advanced training in women's health and longevity – and to discover just how overlooked midlife women are. No roadmap. No conversation. Just silence, shame, and guesswork. So she founded Eusari, a science-backed wellness brand built by and for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Ana blends cutting-edge medical science with deep empathy, helping women feel like themselves again. She's also a speaker, writer, and passionate advocate for real, effective solutions to support women's health and vitality in midlife and beyond.

Whether you can't take HRT or simply prefer not to, this episode is packed with evidence-based guidance to help you take back control of your health.

You'll learn:

Why some women can't or choose not to use hormone replacement therapy
What non-hormonal alternatives women are turning to (and what actually works)
The surprising science behind equol, a powerful ingredient for estrogen support
What to look for in a trusted supplement brand
How Dr. Ana's product, MenoPlay, supports mood, sleep, and energy without hormones
How to cut through the noise and make informed choices in the age of overwhelm
