Dr. Joshua Schacter, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who performed over 15,000 surgeries, chose to walk away from the traditional medical model.We talked about why he made that decision and what he's doing now to help patients heal without relying on surgery, bone medications, or steroid injections. Dr. Schacter's story is personal, powerful, and eye-opening — especially for women dealing with joint pain and osteoporosis.What I love about his approach is that it aligns so closely with what I teach: bone loss is not just a number on a scan. It's a metabolic, inflammatory, and hormonal issue that requires a whole-body, root-cause solution.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why surgery and bone medications are often used too soon—and the risks they carryHow bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) can help protect your joints, muscles, and bonesThe surprising connection between gut health, inflammation, and bone lossHow to shift from symptom management to true healingThe role of strength training in maintaining bone density and aging strongWhat We Talked About:Dr. Schacter's personal story and shift to functional orthopedicsWhy bisphosphonates like Fosamax may not prevent fracturesThe long-term dangers of steroid injectionsThe gut-bone connection and how to address itBHRT as a powerful tool for postmenopausal bone healthThe power of muscle and movement for aging with confidence Let's Stay Connected:Debi RobinsonWebsite: https://www.debirobinson.comInstagram: @debirobinsonwellnessDr. Joshua SchacterWebsite: https://pinnaclesportsmedicine.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pinnacleintegrativeorthopedics/

Deidre shares her personal health journey, including her experience with a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, which led her to explore the role of hormones in cardiovascular health.This conversation challenges the misconceptions stemming from the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study, highlighting its flaws and the subsequent misinterpretations that have led to the underutilization of BHRT. Deidre emphasizes the importance of individualized approaches to hormone therapy, considering factors like the type of hormone, route of administration, and the patient's overall health and lifestyle. She also covers the significance of lifestyle interventions, including diet, exercise, and stress management, in optimizing hormone therapy and promoting vibrant wellness.   Key Takeaways from Today's Episode:

If you are over the age of 35 or within a few years of 35, this episode is for you! Dr. Stephanie Cowie is back on the podcast today for a deep-dive conversation on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and its powerful connection to women's mental health, aging, and overall wellness during perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, we unpack the difference between BHRT and synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and why that distinction really matters. We also discuss the major gap in traditional medical training when it comes to supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, and how that impacts the kind of care many women receive. Hormonal shifts can begin as early as age 35, with symptoms often peaking in the late 30s to early 50s. Dr. Cowie emphasizes the importance of starting BHRT at the right time, and breaks down what to expect from a thorough intake, lab testing, and symptom monitoring process when exploring your options. I hope this conversation empowers you to feel more informed, supported, and hopeful as you move through perimenopause and postmenopause.

If you are considering BHRT, this is for you. Even if you're currently on BHRT, you'll learn or confirm something here. If you've got daughters or DIL, in my case, there's something here for you on that front too. If you've wondered why does cholesterol go up for so many women or why do autoimmune numbers increase in midlife? There's a reason to be considering BHRT, and our guest explains why.    My Guest: Dr. Shilpa Sayana, MD is a Triple Board Certified in Internal, Obesity Medicine and Functional Medicine. She is recognized by her peers by receiving the “Most Humanistic Intern and Resident” award in all three years of her Internal Medicine Residency and celebrated by her patients by being presented the Best Doctors Women's Choice Award. She treats women in perimenopause and menopause, optimising their hormones, energy and weight, especially if they have been previously told that their labs are normal.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:07:54] What are natural ways to improve your hormones above 45? [00:14:27] What tests do you recommend to a woman considering hormones? [00:22:30] Do you have a unique opinion on starting both progesterone and estrogen at the same time or layer in one?  [00:26:06] Do you advocate for women taking testosterone and what are the benefits and side effects of using TRT? [00:30:21] Why do autoimmune markers increase in perimenopause and menopause? and what to do about it? [00:32:04] What can help cholesterol and blood sugar levels?  #1 Longevity Hormone Panel  Purpose: To get a baseline of all key hormone levels Includes: Morning cortisol (before 10am) DHEAS (hormone that makes cortisol) TSH (thyroid) Free T4  Autoimmune Reverse  T4 (Hashimoto's) Reverse T3  Estrogen, Progesteron, Testosterone Total Testosterone Free Testosterone Sex Binding Hormone Globulin  ANA (antinuclear antibody or autoimmune antibody) ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate to check inflammation rate for autoimmune) CRP (C-reactive protein) Ferritin  Genetics Vitamin B12  Vitamin D   More Tests to Truly Know If You're Ready Before Considering BHRT   #2 Gut Test Purpose: To assess inflammation, microbiome health, and how well your body can process and eliminate hormones   #3 Toxin/Environmental Load Testing Purpose: To detect environmental toxins that may be disrupting hormone production or metabolism   Track Your Hormones Functional vs. Conventional medicine's approach to lab results: Functional Medicine Focuses on what's optimal, not just normal. Listens to the whole person (hormone networks), not just the labs. Conventional Medicine Labs are often labeled "normal" if they fall within the wide reference range. No action is taken unless results are severely out of range.   Connect with Shilpa: Website - Sayana Medical  Instagram - @sayanamedical YouTube - @SayanaMedical Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Smart Movement for Aging Better with Lara Heimann Next Episode - Can We Just Stop the Self Sabotage to Feel Your Best Ever More Like This - Restore Hormones to Factory Settings?

Listen as Dr. Greg Brannon explains how testosterone begins to decline every year after 30, the symptoms that are experienced by men and women, and how an individualized BHRT plan can alleviate symptoms.

Did you know that even on hormone replacement therapy, many women are still losing bone? I hear it all the time—“But I'm on BHRT…why are my bones still getting weaker?” And that's exactly what we're diving into today on the Stronger Bones Lifestyle podcast. I'm so excited to share this powerful episode with you because we're pulling back the curtain on hormone therapy and giving you real, practical answers.I'm joined by Dr. Nayan Patel, a compounding pharmacist who's trained over 5,000 physicians across the country on how to properly prescribe bioidentical hormones. We break down what most doctors get wrong about estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—and how the way you take your hormones matters just as much as what you take. You'll learn why the right dose, delivery method, and hormone balance are essential for bone protection, and how lifestyle is still the foundation no matter what you're prescribed. Dr. Patel shares so much wisdom in this conversation—so grab a cup of tea and settle in, you're going to want to take notes!Key TakeawaysThe Role of Estrogen – Estrogen levels must be between 60–110 to effectively protect bones and prevent fractures.Progesterone's Dual Benefit – Oral progesterone supports bone formation and improves sleep and emotional balance.Testosterone's Impact – Testosterone is key for building muscle mass that supports and stabilizes aging bones.Why Hormone Delivery Matters – Applying creams to the inner labia ensures better absorption and fewer side effects than wrist or oral routes.Delayed BHRT Can Still Help – Women 10+ years post-menopause can start BHRT safely when guided by a knowledgeable provider.Understanding Hormone Balance – Feeling your best is the true marker of hormonal balance—not just lab numbers.Cancer History and Hormones – BHRT may not be safe for those with recent estrogen-sensitive cancers; timing and monitoring are critical.Lifestyle is 70% of the Solution – Managing stress, eating nutrient-dense foods, sleeping well, and moving intentionally are the true drivers of bone strength.Where to Find Our GuestAuro Wellness: https://aurowellness.com/Auro Wellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@aurowellnessAuro Wellness IG: https://www.instagram.com/AurowellnessLinks & ResourcesStronger Bones Lifestyle CommunityJoin a supportive space to strengthen your bones naturally with live sessions and masterclasses.

Sometimes, feeling “off” isn't just about stress or aging—it could be your gut trying to tell you something. Your digestion plays a bigger role than you might think, influencing everything from your energy and hormones to your mood and even your sex life. Steven Wright, Functional Medicine Expert and Founder of The Healthy Gut Company, is back to share why gut health is the key to feeling like yourself again. We get into the hidden culprits behind bloating, brain fog, and even intimacy struggles—because, yes, your gut impacts that too! Turns out, simple changes can make a big difference. Steven breaks down how digestive enzymes can transform your digestion, why butyrate is a game-changer for gut healing, and what all of this has to do with hormone balance. We even tackle a topic most people avoid—how gut health can impact erectile function and what men can do about it. If you've been dealing with stubborn symptoms and wondering what's really going on, you won't want to miss this one. Taking care of your gut is one of the best ways to support your body, and it doesn't have to be complicated.

[00:12:05] – Steven Wright "If it doesn't work, most of the time you have a gut issue that you need to address along with the BHRT. And if you do those things together, everything you're wanting from your program will start to come together."

Struggling with menopause symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, or brain fog? In this episode of Clock Talk, Dr. Greg Brennan breaks down the science behind Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and why pellets are a safer, more effective alternative to synthetic hormones. Learn how BHRT supports heart health, brain function, and overall well-being without the risks of traditional treatments.

Tara sits down with one of her mentors, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, to have an important conversation about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and why so many women are left in the dark when it comes to their options. Dr. Rosensweet has been at the forefront of bioidentical hormone therapy for years, and in this episode, he shares his deep expertise on how to approach HRT safely and effectively. They break down the fears and misconceptions that have prevented countless women from getting the support they need and discuss why personalized hormone therapy should be the standard—not the exception. Whether you're currently using HRT, considering it, or just want a better understanding of your options, this episode is a must-listen.   Key Talking Points Why hormones matter—they're not just about reproductive health, but essential for brain function, bone strength, and overall vitality. The shocking truth about declining hormone levels—they start dropping in your 20s and never stop. How misinformation about hormone therapy has kept women suffering needlessly. The Women's Health Initiative study—how it wrongly created fear around hormones and what the real science says. Bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones—why the form of hormones you use makes a massive difference. When to start hormone therapy—(hint: the earlier, the better). The importance of individualized dosing—why one-size-fits-all approaches don't work. How to find a knowledgeable provider who truly understands hormone therapy.   Dr. Rosensweet:  Daved Rosensweet, MD is the Founder of The Institute of BioIdentical Medicine and The Menopause Method, as well as the author of three books on the subject including his latest "Happy Healthy Hormones".  Early in his career, Dr. Rosensweet trained the first nurse practitioners in the United States and was in charge of health promotion for the State of New Mexico. With over 30 years of experience specializing in Andropause and Menopause treatment, he is a nationally known lecturer and presenter at The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), The American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM), The Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG), and more. In 2019, he was called to Washington to speak in front of The National Academies of Science Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) on "The Safety and Efficacy of Bioidentical Hormones." Through The Menopause Method and The Institute of BioIdentical Medicine, Dr. Rosensweet is training medical professionals to master cBHRT using the most advanced and modern tools. His protocol has been used to treat more than 12,000 women.

In this episode of The Next Level, I sit down with Dr. Erika Schwartz to dive deep into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)—what it is, why it matters, and why so many general physicians are hesitant to address hormone imbalances. Dr. Schwartz is the founder of Evolved Science, a world-renowned medical practice in New York City, built on the principle that balancing hormones is the foundation for better health. From there, her practice focuses on optimization, longevity, disease prevention, and patient advocacy to help people live their best lives. We break down some of the biggest misconceptions about hormone therapy, why traditional medicine tends to resist it, and what you need to know if you're considering BHRT for yourself. Dr. Schwartz also shares her insights on the negative effects of alcohol, including its well-documented links to cancer risk and overall health decline. This is a must-listen if you've ever felt dismissed by a doctor when asking about your hormones or if you're curious about how to optimize your health through a proactive, science-based approach.

About Donna White: Donna White is a seasoned expert in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with over 30 years of experience. As the founder of the BHRT Training Academy, author of "The Hormone Makeover," and a pioneer in establishing BHRT programs, she has played a pivotal role in advancing hormone health.

Her training academy has revolutionized the way medical practitioners approach hormone therapy, leading to significant improvements in patient care and practice growth. What We Discuss In this Episode: In this episode, Donna opens up about her struggle with severe PMS symptoms in her 20s and how it motivated her to find answers, ultimately transforming her life with bioidentical hormone therapy. She sheds light on the widespread confusion surrounding hormones, debunking myths like the misconception that they cause health issues such as cancer. Donna clarifies the critical differences between bioidentical, synthetic, and animal-derived hormones, explaining why bioidentical options—molecularly identical to those produced by the body—are a safer and more effective choice. Donna dives deep into the common signs of hormone imbalance, including fatigue, sleep issues, mood swings, weight gain, and skin changes, and stresses the importance of proper testing to uncover root causes. She explains the pros and cons of various hormone testing methods, such as saliva, dried urine, serum, and capillary blood spot, emphasizing the need to monitor cortisol levels accurately. Donna also highlights how hormone balance is essential at every stage of life, showing how declining hormone levels can contribute to age-related diseases and sharing research that supports hormone replacement therapy for improved longevity and health. Additionally, Donna addresses fears about hormones and breast cancer, citing evidence that hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can be protective and even improve outcomes for those diagnosed. She offers practical advice for finding qualified healthcare providers, from evaluating testing protocols to consulting compounding pharmacists and hormone testing labs.

If you want to dive deeper, you'll find links to the full episodes in the show notes below. In part one of this round table talk we discuss why New Year resolutions don't work and what to do instead.

Why you must deal with past traumas in order to lose weight and have optimal health. The one macro that will make the biggest difference in your attempts to lose weight. Plus, hear about our own personal experiences with healing and weight loss. Join me for an amazing eye opening conversation with menopause expert Dana Lawson and fitness guru Pam Sherman. In part two of this round table talk we answer our listeners and followers question on weight loss, hormones and fitness.

What is the best exercise regimen to follow as you enter the menopause phase of life, while starting hormone therapy and trying to lose weight - at the same time? My diet is under control for the most part. Should you heal the gut first or balance hormones. How do you feel about testosterone replacement during peri and post menopause when free to is non existent. Plus what are some natural ways to help boost testosterone before replacement? How can you tell when your body is metabolically recovered from over dieting? Also, how can you tell if you are clearing inflammation from exercise (i.e., what markers can/should indicate recovery besides fatigue or muscle soreness)? Best approaches when you have hypothyroidism and possibly adrenal issues. How do you assess when to start bioidentical estrogen? What issues contribute to chronic pain? What do you do when you take the recommendations from your naturopath (et al), take the recommended supplements, eat clean, exercise regularly and you can't lose the weight? So frustrated! Do flowering plant essential oils provide the same benefits as BHRT? (such as bone and cardiovascular health, breast and brain protection?) Can essential oils and BHRT be used together? Is it okay to combine estrogen and testosterone together in a compounded cream? Do hormones such as the estrogen patch and oral progesterone need to be taken forever? I'm 51 and post menopausal.

Mara is a licensed marriage and family therapist She first found fasting in 2019, and tried extended fasting, but had limited success. Her frustration eventually led her to try the Galveston diet by Dr. Mary Claire Haver in June of 2019, which not only helped her shed pounds but also introduced her to the benefits of fasting. She started out with macro tracking, which helped her adopt a more balanced approach to eating which has stuck with her. However, the initial weight loss journey had its ups and downs, especially during menopause.Mara experienced a mental funk by January of 2020 due to the weight gain of menopause, and planned a yoga retreat for self-care, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to cancel the retreat. Despite the challenges, the lockdown brought precious family bonding time as her daughters returned home from college. This period, which Mara describes as "stolen time," allowed for unexpected moments of joy and indulgence. During the lockdown, Mara also explored hypnotherapy for weight loss, unearthing deeper emotional issues related to self-imposed guilt, and learning the importance of forgiveness and implementing personal rules that provided the discipline she needed.Mara achieved her weight goal of 145 pounds in six months. In 2021, she discovered Gin's work and delved deeper into intermittent fasting. Initially hesitant to change her habits, Mara eventually embraced a clean fast with positive results. Gin and Mara also discuss Dr. Mary Claire Haver's insights on perimenopause and the importance of proper education in women's health, as well as Mara's and Gin's positive experiences with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).Mara shares her personal triumphs over insomnia, brain fog, and the incredible feeling of restful sleep after starting BHRT. She has also experienced powerful mindset transformations along the way. In closing, Mara emphasizes the importance of finding personal solutions that work for you, highlighting the necessity of balancing discipline with freedom. Her final advice to listeners is to trust the process and also learn to trust your body again.Check out our sponsor Zoe at ZOE.com, use code IFSTORIES10 to get 10% off your membership.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

In today's episode with Dr. Deb Matthew, you'll hear us take a deep dive into: 1. What HRT and BHRT actually are, and what they do 2. How Practitioners can assess and diagnose your hormone levels 3. Why Breast Cancer isn't the giant risk we think it is 4. How taking HRT can change depending on whether you have a uterus 5. Taking HRT after you've beaten breast cancer Once upon a time, we were told that HRT was the best thing in the world. Then, in 2002, the Women's Health Initiative Study was published and said that HRT led to more cases of Breast Cancer.

Ready to rethink everything you've heard about perimenopause? In this episode of Fast to Faith, I'm diving into a surprising client story—a story that might make you question what you thought about hormones and perimenopause.Imagine: a 49-year-old woman tried BHRT, expecting it to be her solution to fatigue, weight gain, and terrible sleep. Yet, her symptoms lingered. Frustrating, right?So, why didn't BHRT do the trick? Could it be that the root cause isn't what most think it is? What if hormone issues aren't all about hormones?In our talk, we uncover some wild connections between gut health, inflammation, and hormone chaos. I'll share what diagnostic tests revealed—the hidden culprits that almost no one talks about. Insulin, thyroid, A1C… does any of this sound familiar?And here's the kicker: We didn't just tweak her hormones. We took a whole new approach, one that transformed her life and her energy.

What a treat this episode will be as it is packed with insights you don't want to miss. Dr. Doug Lucas, an orthopedic surgeon turned bone health advocate, joins me to unveil the secrets of preventing osteoporosis through a combination of holistic strategies and cutting-edge science. We'll talk about his incredible work with Optimal Human Health and the Osteo Collective, where he's making waves by reversing osteoporosis naturally and keeping bones robust for the long haul. Have you wondered what the difference is between osteoporosis and osteopenia? Dr. Doug will explakn the difference, and he will break down the myths around traditional calcium supplements and makes a strong case for magnesium, vitamin D3, and K2, and algae-based calcium as the real heroes in bone health. Then, hormones take center stage as we dive into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and its profound benefits over standard bone medications that often come with a slew of side effects. Dr. Doug also demystifies the role of a suppressed TSH in bone density and opens up about the power of resistance and impact exercises for bone strength. From discussing practical workouts that build bone density to the right kind of protein (hint: think animal-derived), and touching on the sometimes misunderstood effects of diets on bone health, this conversation is a must listen with actionable tips.
