This week, my guest is Dr Angela De Rosa, and we discuss why she believes testosterone is vital for women in perimenopause and menopause. Testosterone is a highly misunderstood hormone in women. Even though Testosterone is one of the most abundant hormones in women, it is hardly ever discussed or given it's just due in the treatment of perimenopause/ menopausal women. Dr De Rosa shares her views on why the current guidelines for menopause treatment exclude testosterone except for low libido.Dr DeRosa discusses how testosterone deficiency affects women's daily quality of life and puts them at risk for chronic illness. Sharing low testosterone levels can lead to several symptoms in women, including hot flashes, lower libido, and mood swings, amongst other symptoms.She discusses the benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women in this period and the importance of testosterone therapy for women in perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Angela DeRosa discusses essential issues related to testosterone therapy and hormone replacement and provides valuable information on how to get the most from these treatments. We also talk about how birth control pills impact testosterone levels in women and how to consider them not only for the reproductive system but also for the overall body.  Dr DeRosa also talks about the blatant gender bias that occurs in medicine and, in particular, the bias treatment of women in perimenopause and menopause.Angela DeRosa, DO, MBA, CPE, founded the Hormonal Health Institute and DR/M Integrative Health. She is also the former founder and owner of DeRosa Medical, which was one of the first and most prestigious hormonal healthcare practices in the Southwest. For more than 25 years, Dr. DeRosa has been advocating for a greater understanding of hormonal health, especially as it relates to menopausal women. She is the author of “How Your Doctor is Slowly Killing You.” Connect with Dr Angela DeRosa https://drhotflash.com/ Get full access to Heart of Menopause at clarissakristjansson.substack.com/subscribe

Dr Angela DeRosa is a doctor of osteopathy, integrative physician and hormone specialist in Arizona. She has a unique take on the current peri/menopause landscape as a doctor of osteopathy who also worked as senior medical director for Procter & Gamble, helping them launch osteoporosis treatments and try – and fail – to get a testosterone patch for women approved for use in 2004.During her years with the pharmaceutical division, she saw firsthand how women's ability to get proper medical care and treatment is thwarted due to politics, gender bias and poorly trained physicians. Her mission is to teach women about what's happening to them physically, how they can obtain proper treatment, and how to change the paradigm of medicine so women everywhere can live healthier and happier lives.Dr DeRosa discusses her view and experience of testosterone, which she says few doctors understand. This includes her endorsement of and cautions about the controversial use of pellets, as well as the important role of the thyroid, the vital interplay with blood sugar and the road to insulin resistance, and much more.Highlights:  What it's like working for Big Pharma  Her view on Intrinsa, the Proctor & Gamble testosterone patch the FDA did not approve almost 20 years ago We are more than estrogen – and why testosterone is pivotal The vital interplay between falling testosterone and insulin resistance The crucial thyroid piece – and why thyroid health must come first Why so many people don't understand how to properly administer testosterone Why pellets are like colour TV (and what people get wrong about them How to avoid unsafe doses  What is "fulminant fear", why it's rare and how to avoid it Her take on “menopause is natural”  Her take on fezolinetant, aka Veozah, the non-hormonal drug for hot flashes  Why you want your hormone therapy to be “biomemetic” aka bioidentical What you think you know about compounding pharmacies is wrong (including that they are always “expensive”)  Why we need to look at the “whole universe” of what's available Where to find Dr DeRosa: drhotflash.comhormonalhealthinstitute.comJoin the Hotflash Inc perimenoposse: Web: hotflashinc.comTikTok: @hotflashincInstagram: @hotflashincTwitter: @hotflashinc Episode website: Hotflashinc See hotflashinc.com/privacy-policy for privacy information

Hormonal optimization is the key to greater health, but unfortunately, hormone treatment is so regulated that not everyone has access to it, and for women, that access is nearly nonexistent.

In this episode, Dr Angela DeRosa, also known as Dr Hot Flash, discusses hormone optimization and women's health in a world full of restrictions and gender inequalities.   "There's no other outcome than having to win the fight for better healthcare in women, because we can't afford not to." -Dr Angela DeRosa   Three Curiosity-Driven Takeaways   The truth about testosterone in womenTestosterone is typically considered the ‘male' hormone, but is that a gross oversimplification? The role physicians have to play in offering patients hormone treatmentWhat's stopping more doctors from providing hormone treatment, and can we blame them?

In this show you will learn how hormones keep not only your skin thicker but waist thinner, but also how estrogen and progesterone are critical for boosting immune health and even treating leaky gut.     Dr. Angela DeRosa is an osteopathic physicians specializing in female health. Dr. DeRosa first got into this field because she went through peri-menopause in her 20's while attending medical school, and then experienced full-blown menopause at age 35.   When no other doctors could help her, Dr. DeRosa had to figure out how to accomplish that on her own.   As of 2021, Dr. DeRosa has been prescribing bioidentical hormone therapies for 25 years.   Dr. DeRosa also trains physicians.   In 2018, she launched The Hormonal Health Institute: Executive Instruction for MedicalProfessionals, a hormonal healthcare consultancy designed to instruct medical providers and provide practice development training on bioidentical  hormone replacement therapies.   In addition to her educational and clinical activities, Dr. DeRosa serves as the medical director for Belmar Pharma Solutions where she provides clinical and scientific technical support for all aspects hormonal therapies. Belmar pharmacy is the same facility that is “Behari Certified”, fulfilling low-dose-naltrexone scripts for $55 for a three month period.   In this show you will learn:   Males have multiple forms of FDA approved testosterone, while women have known. If the FDA succeeds in blocking compounding pharmacists from compounding bioidentical hormones, there will be NO testosterone replacement available for women! Why testosterone is one of the most important hormones for aging women. How (and why) big pharma is lobbying against bio-identical HRT The importance of custom tailoring hormone treatments instead of using a “one size fits all” approach.   Why your doctor “must” track FSH and SHBG when prescribing you hormones. Why you want to achieve a “pre-menopausal” FSH level, to improve if not normalize your blood pressure, waistline, bone density, cognition and more. Not to mention your vocal cords, to avoid “little old lady” voice. The gender gap in healthcare. How a lack of transparency in the FDA puts patient health at risk. The evidence demonstrating compounded hormones work for millions of people.   This is a must-hear conversation between two amazing women who hormone therapies have saved their own lives as well as patients they collaboratively serve.

Did you know that women have more testosterone in their body than estrogen? That's right! We do. But there are no FDA approved drugs for women's testosterone replacement and most of our estrogen replacements are ineffective. What does that mean for women going through menopause?  Dr. Angela DeRosa has been studying women's health for over 25 years, but it wasn't until she went through menopause at age 35 that she realized how lacking our knowledge is about women's hormones.  She joins me today to share her experiences and what women everywhere need to know about their own health and hormones. You know your body better than anyone. If you're having adverse symptoms or simply know something is wrong, keep questioning until you get an answer. This was a fantastic discussion with an amazing woman who is pushing for more research in women's health. Every woman, no matter their age, needs to take a minute and listen in to learn more about what you can do to advocate for your own health.  Show Notes: [02:47] How did she find herself on the road to being a doctor specializing in women's health?  [04:24] Why would menopause start at an early age?  [05:40] What sorts of signs and symptoms should women look out for regarding menopause?  [07:57] There is a huge gap in hormone research and therapies for women's testosterone deficiencies.  [10:05] Does the average woman's physician know these details regarding hormone replacement needs?  [12:40] How has the response to pre and perimenopause changed over time?  [14:39] Where can women find good resources to learn more about their experiences?  [16:38] Has she had any major learning moments as she's moved through her career?  [18:45] How does she approach managing stress especially when going through menopause?  [21:17] Dr. Angela shares her final parting advice for all women.  [23:40] Connect with Dr. Angela.  Links and Resources: Dr. DeRosa's Website  Dr. DeRosa on Facebook Dr. DeRosa on YouTube Dr. DeRosa on LinkedIn

See all the Healthcast at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ We recently attended a medical conference focusing on new age medicine. The focus of this conference was learning how to prevent illnesses in the future rather than treating the symptoms or diseases after they have happened. One of the female presenters at the conference seemed to match almost perfectly the experience that Dr. Maupin has experienced and this week we want to share some of the information that she presented and discuss it in light of Dr. Maupin's experience. In the last five years, medicine has begun to focus on the difference in the ways that men and women experience heart attacks. There are different symptoms that women have than those that men have. This focus meant that medicine would need to look at women differently than they had in the past when considering heart problems. Dr. Angela DeRosa, medical director of Belmar pharmacy was the presenter that we want to discuss. Up until recently medical research is beginning to include women in their test populations in ways that they did not do before. Women have been historically excluded from research protocols because they might have been pregnant at the time of the research experience and that pregnancy might have damaged the child or the mother. Now medical researchers are learning what they need to know in order to avoid these concerns and now they regularly include females in the research population. In fact, many of the norms that are established for lab tests have been normed on men alone. Women have historically been considered as men without a penis, but generally needing the same medical dosage and expecting the same numbers on their blood tests in order to indicate health or illness concerns. Dr. DeRosa talked about the gender bias that has always existed in things medical and that it posited a negative impact on the health of women. She also talked about the political binds that have limited the freedom of women to behave in the same ways as men and required them to be treated as almost secondary to men in terms of their health. Sexual matters regarding men have always received more attention, been given more value, and been more socially and religiously accepted in ways that sexuality in women has not. Question: if men need testosterone and or ED medicine, should insurance pay for it? If women want birth control medicine, should insurance pay for it? If women want or need some sexual desire or arousal medicine such as ED meds for men, should one be developed? And if so, should it be paid for by society? Insurance? Dr. DeRosa also talked about fear, and media and celebrities with regards to women's health and the approach that medicine takes for treating and studying the concerns of women. Celebrities are not doctors and yet they offer advertisements suggesting that they have written books, or have experienced concerns and experienced relief from medicines and therefore you should too. Dr. Maupin maintains that fear is how society manages women. Men are managed by data. Society is often manipulated by false data. In statistics, there is a statement “figures never lie, but liars always figure!” it is the manipulation of this fear that sells products and services. Please learn the difference between opinion and fact and focus on the numbers used in the statistical claim in order to make your own decisions. An example of fear impacting medical care is the turmoil surrounding the Women's Health Initiative research protocol.  Early returns of data suggested an increase in breast cancers if women were given hormone replacements. The data was interpreted as saying that hormone replacement would cause women to get breast cancer and probably die. The research protocol was stopped, and the results were that doctors were told not to give women hormone replacement, or they would die! This is not true, and we now know it. But the media and the medical organizations have not managed to reverse the messaging that women and doctors receive regarding hormone replacement. Another scare tactic or data -based manipulation regarding women was the change in the standard of yearly mammograms. The recommendations were changed to say that women should not get mammograms each year because it was too expensive, and the insurance companies did not want to pay for them. Also, when women have breast removals, they need to have reconstruction for their physical and emotional health. This has not been the way it has historically been done. The insurance would pay for the surgery, but the reconstruction was not covered for most women. Sometimes messaging for women's health care is erroneous or mis-focused. Look at the issue of sunscreen and sun exposure vs. the need for women to have sun exposure to prevent the development of heart disease. At the end of the day, the message was that women have been essentially second -class citizens when it comes to the research done regarding women's health issues, the marketing and advertising for women's treatments, and the social boundaries that negatively impact women when it comes to sexual matters. There is progress being made towards gender equity and health equity. Learn what you need to know about healthy aging and speak to your doctor, your insurance companies and your politicians about your own concerns and opinions!

See all the Healthcast at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Today we are going to discuss a presentation we heard at the AMMG conference in Tucson last October. The presentation was given by Dr. Angela DeRosa. Dr. DeRosa is the Medical Director of Belmar Pharmacy in Colorado. Her presentation covered six main themes and we want to speak to you about several of them today, in particular, her concept of statistical homicide and her discussion regarding the evidence surrounding the Womens' Health Initiative and how it relates to the current understanding of hormonal medicine. One of the major thought- provoking issues in modern medicine is the concept that there are two different expectations facing physicians in regard to the goal of treating patients:  one is the goal of working toward a long life, disregarding the quality of a patient's life. The other is the goal of a quality of life as our endpoint of treatment. For example, if a patient has an aggressive lung cancer and there must be a decision made between treating her with a type of chemo that causes daily nausea vomiting and incapacitation, but offers a slightly longer life (an extension of less than a year), versus living half the time in fairly good condition until the last month of life. There are drug regimens that provide the first option are usually extremely expensive and offer longer life without quality. The second option is a slightly shorter life with more quality to connect with her loved ones before she dies.  In the past doctors were trained to pursue a longer life with no regard to the quality of that life.  In the recent past we began to wonder about the intelligence of that decision.  What would I do if I had the choice?  These are extreme examples and at BioBalance I have created a much different idea that does not make patients choose between length of life or quality of life.  The only requirement for me to treat a patient to achieve a longer life with quality, is some “lead time”…..I need to treat my patients before they get sick!  In general, modern medicine and all the research that is the basis for decision making in medicine today is geared to making people live longer.  The goal of medical research is keeping people alive….they consider it a “win” as long as that person is breathing, however impaired, or unable to care for herself.  The new paradigm is that of quality of life as the endpoint, keeping patients from being housed in nursing homes and from having to be cared for by their families.  To do that you need muscle mass so you don't fall and so you can walk without a walker.  Quality of life means being able to connect to your spouse sexually, by keeping your libido for as long as you want and enjoy it. We are working on preventing Alzheimer's disease by decreasing inflammation, diabetes and avoiding toxic substances that contribute to that disease. Dr. Derosa lectured on the same things I teach my patients every day.  She maintains that many of the guidelines for doctors regarding treating and diagnosing illness do not make any recommendations towards treating a patient to achieve optimal health, and therefore quality of life. “Modern scientific medicine prefers laboratory measurements rather than assessing patient's symptoms; regardless of the fact that it is the symptoms that make up syndromes.” One of the syndromes that we treat every day is menopause. 1.1 billion women will be in menopause in the 2020. Medicine looks at menopause as one or two symptoms such as hot flashes and a dry vagina.   BioBalance Health® looks at menopause as a syndrome that changes women's lives for the worse and impairs their ability to enjoy life and be productive. We feel it is important to treat women as if their mental capacity, physical health, and sexual life are relevant and important and that the best way to take care of these issues is to replace their sex hormones (estradiol and testosterone) that are lost to the changes occurring at menopause. If you replace these hormones to the same level of hormones you had in your thirties, you will age in a healthier and stronger way, maintaining your abilities to function and remain relevant and independent! According to the Journal of the American Geriatric Society, you will hit menopause before you are fifty, and your life expectancy is about 80. Why should you spend thirty years of your life broken down and sick? We believe that you do not need to experience life this way and that replacing your lost hormones is the treatment of choice for maintaining strength, mental acuity, and independence throughout your life. This should be a Newsflash to mainstream medicine: Staying healthy with hormones keeps you from getting life-threatening illnesses! Menopause causes estrogen and testosterone deficiency. The primary symptoms of estrogen deficiency are: Hot flashes PMS worsening Night sweats Irritability Dry skin Insomnia Depression Mood swings Forgetfulness Vaginal dryness Heart palpitations Increased allergies The primary symptoms of Testosterone deficiency are: Low libido Weight gain Loss of focus Anxiety Depression Muscle pain Mood swings Sugar cravings Fatigue Belly fat Dr. DeRosa presented information identifying the long -term consequences of hormone deficiencies, the same illnesses that I list in my book the Secret Female Hormone, among them: Insulin resistance and diabetes Cardiovascular disease Osteoporosis Dementias Cancers In her discussion of the data provided by the Women's Health Initiative, she presented the concept of statistical homicide: “the triumph of long odds over common sense”.
