In this episode of Soma Says, Dr. Soma sits down with Carolyn Zaumeyer, founder of LowTE Florida and a nationally recognized Nurse Practitioner who has spent over 20 years transforming lives through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

This conversation dives into the myths and misinformation surrounding hormone therapy, the importance of individualized dosing, and Carolyn’s success stories with patients from across the globe. They also explore how hormone therapy can alleviate menopause symptoms, improve quality of life, and empower women to embrace midlife as a season of strength and renewal.
