TITLE
Beyond the Hormones: Women’s Health, Wisdom & the Power of Being Heard
TAGLINE
A woman’s body changes throughout her lifetime. Her right to be heard, understood, and cared for should never change.
DESCRIPTION
Grab your cup and join Miss Liz for an educational, empowering, and deeply personal conversation with Dr. Ricki Pollycove, a nationally recognized OB-GYN with over 40 years of clinical experience caring for women throughout their lives.
From fertility and motherhood to hormonal changes, menopause, sexual health, breast health, and healthy aging, Dr. Pollycove has dedicated her career to helping women understand their bodies and make informed decisions about their health.
Author of The Pocket Guide to Bioidentical Hormones, Dr. Pollycove has contributed scientific research on testosterone, female sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, and menopause while continuing to educate medical professionals worldwide.
But behind the medical expertise is also a mother, grandmother, and woman who understands the demands of balancing family, career, and personal well-being.
Her T-E-E brings three meaningful words to the table:
LEARNING • LISTENING • HEALING
This Teatime will explore what happens when women are encouraged to ask questions, understand their changing bodies, challenge outdated assumptions, and become active participants in their healthcare.
Because women’s health is not simply about hormones.
It’s about being heard, respected, informed, and supported through every chapter of life.
☕ INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz, where we bring real stories, real experiences, and meaningful conversations to the table.
Grab your cup and let’s dig deep.
Today we’re talking about something that affects every woman, yet too often leaves women feeling confused, dismissed, or unheard.
Our health.
My guest is Dr. Ricki Pollycove, a nationally recognized OB-GYN who has spent more than four decades caring for women through every stage of their lives.
From bringing babies into the world to helping women navigate menopause, hormonal health, sexual wellness, and healthy aging, Dr. Pollycove has dedicated her career to understanding women’s changing health needs.
She’s an author, researcher, and medical educator whose work reaches healthcare professionals around the world.
But she’s also a mother and grandmother who raised her daughter as a single mom while building her medical career.
Today I want to go beyond the medical terminology and talk about what women genuinely need from healthcare.
Because being a patient should never mean losing your voice.

CLOSING — FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Ricki, thank you for bringing your kindness, wisdom, and decades of medical experience to my table.
Today we’ve talked about hormones, menopause, motherhood, aging, and the many changes women experience throughout their lives.
But underneath all those conversations is something much bigger. The importance of being heard. Too many women learn to normalize discomfort.To dismiss their exhaustion.
To minimize their pain.
To put themselves last.
And sometimes to accept answers even when important questions remain.
But our bodies deserve attention.
Our concerns deserve investigation.
And our voices deserve respect.
Ricki brought three words to our table:
Learning. Listening. Healing.
Learning helps us understand.
Listening helps us recognize what matters.
And healing requires more than simply telling someone their symptoms are normal.
It requires care, knowledge, compassion, and sometimes the courage to keep searching for answers.
So here is today’s food for thought:
A woman should never have to prove how much she is suffering before someone takes her seriously. Her voice deserves to be part of her healthcare from the very beginning.
Your age does not erase your worth. Your changing body does not diminish your identity. And asking questions does not make you difficult. It makes you an active participant in your own health.Until next time, keep making a difference one cup at a time.
YOU are all the TEA. Add me, and together we become a TEAM OF CHANGE.
