Episode 2: From Patient to Clinical Hormone Coach: My Career in Female Hormone Medicine

In this episode of the MeNoPause Moxie Podcast, host Marie Hoäg and producer/co-host Maggie Kuhn dive into Marie’s transformation from hormone patient to clinical hormone coach—and her two-decade career shaping the future of female hormone medicine.

Marie shares how her early struggles with hormonal imbalance led her to a pioneering physician who introduced her to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). What started as her own patient journey soon evolved into hands-on clinical work—consulting, designing programs, tracking outcomes, and building a body of research on why HRT works, when it fails, and what women truly need for sustainable restoration.

Together, Marie and Maggie uncover:

* The evolution of HRT systems — from low-dose HRT symptom management to advanced HRT protocols designed for full restoration and true hormonal balance.

* Why clinical hormone coaching is essential — how women need guidance and clinical hand-holding through the transitional ups and downs of balancing hormones, especially with sophisticated restorative protocols.

* The origins of the Hormone Sweet Spot™ — how Marie discovered there is a true destination of optimal hormone balance where women feel their absolute best.

* The impact of early pioneers — from Suzanne Somers bringing hormones into mainstream conversation to the Wiley Protocol introducing rhythmic dosing.

* Why advanced hormone therapy is the future — and how Panacea Sciences is leading the way with protocols that restore both brain and body health.

Marie also reflects on her own life-changing results: moving from depression and anxiety into a state of genuine happiness for the first time in her life. Her personal transformation laid the foundation for her passion—clinically coaching women on advanced HRT protocols that allow them to choose whether they experience perimenopause or menopause.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to move beyond hormone deficiency symptoms management into full restoration and true hormonal balance, this episode offers both the history and the hope of what’s possible.
