Podcasts about bioidentical

There's a prescription I think almost every woman should eventually be on, but most of them don't know that it could improve their future.  Things change as we age, but there's no reason to suffer unnecessarily, especially when there are cheap and easy solutions that can help you live more as you get older, rather than less.  If you want to improve your overall resilience while lowering your risk for urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, pain with sex, and more, I think it's worth your time to learn about vaginal estrogen and eliminate these problems before they even start.  come to my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comIntroduction: The Prescription Every Woman Should Know About00:24 The Importance of Vaginal Estrogen01:17 Personal Reflections and Exceptions01:52 The Consequences of Ignoring Vaginal Health05:14 Statistics and Realities of Women's Health Issues09:07 Medical Community's Shortcomings09:59 Understanding Vaginal Estrogen and Its Benefits14:31 Challenges and Misconceptions in Prescribing Estrogen16:09 Different Forms of Vaginal Estrogen24:52 Compounded Products and Alternatives26:15 Conclusion: Empowering Women with Knowledge

*Trigger warning: we share personal experiences about miscarriage in this episode*In this heartwarming (and off-the-cuff) episode, Jess and Rye sit down with their mom, Candace Burch — hormone health educator, founder of Your Hormone Balance, and living testament to aging with vibrance. Candace shares pivotal life lessons from her 20's, 30's and 40's. From her first shaky steps with hormonal birth control in the 1960s, to getting pregnant in her late 30s, to navigating perimenopause and ultimately becoming a fierce advocate for hormone testing and natural balance. This candid conversation is packed with wisdom for women at every life stage.Key Talking Points:— The powerful (and unintended) impact of going on hormonal birth control in her 20s — acne scars, mood swings, and why she wishes she'd had cycle awareness tools.— How feeling “broody” in her mid-30s led to embracing motherhood after years of living footloose in Europe (and selling art out of a van in France!).— Her traumatic miscarriage experience in Paris, what she learned about progesterone, and how it actually sparked her desire to have children.— The reality of having kids in her late 30s and early 40s, then heading straight into perimenopause with unpredictable moods and hot flashes.— How hormone testing, lifestyle changes, and bioidentical progesterone cream changed everything — plus why personalized testing is essential.— What women in their 20s & 30s should start doing now to support future hormone balance, fertility, and graceful aging.— Why it's never selfish to prioritize your health, and how Candace keeps thriving (and dancing past midnight) at 77.Resources Mentioned:

Initially, lithium was found beneficial in natural springs where the water was high in lithium, then it started being used in soda beverages noted for mood stabilization. Interestingly, lithium is found naturally in the environment and higher levels in drinking water correlate with improved mental health and longevity. Various studies suggest potential benefits of low-dose lithium for cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, and cognitive health, while also addressing the risks associated with high dosages. The episode advises listeners to consider lithium supplementation for its potential health advantages and discusses practical ways to incorporate it into daily routines.01:09 A Journey Back to 1860s 02:56 The Rise of Soda and Lithium in Medicine06:27 Lithium: From Mood Stabilizer to Potential Supplement07:40 The Science Behind Lithium's Benefits12:00 Considering Lithium as a Supplement14:38 Practical Tips for Taking Lithium

Thinking about hormone replacement therapy but unsure what's right for you? In this episode of the Paloma Health podcast, we're diving deep into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)—a treatment option that's gaining attention for being more aligned with your body's natural chemistry. You'll learn what bioidentical hormones actually are, how they differ from traditional synthetic hormones, and why many experts consider them a gentler and potentially safer alternative.We'll break down the science behind BHRT, focusing on commonly used hormones like estradiol and progesterone that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. We also explore why the delivery method—especially transdermal options like patches or gels—matters for both effectiveness and safety, potentially reducing the risk of blood clots, heart disease, and breast cancer compared to oral synthetic hormone therapies.But not all BHRT is created equal. This episode also tackles the controversy around compounded bioidentical hormones, which are custom-made by specialty pharmacies but not FDA-approved. We explain the concerns around quality control, dosing consistency, and regulation—while also acknowledging that for some people, compounded formulations may be necessary.If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause, this episode will help you better understand your options. LEARN MOREYou can learn more about how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in an in-depth article at the Paloma Health blog. https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/is-bioidentical-hrt-safer-more-effective  ABOUT PALOMA HEALTH ⁠⁠Paloma Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.

If doing the healthy behaviors that you feel like you should do always feels like an endless, joyless uphill battle, maybe it's because you think {q} “being healthy,” -whatever that even means-, is an end in and of itself.  An end that you should obviously want.  That you should be scared of not achieving.  But that's backward.  Keeping our reasons for creating a healthy physiology in the proper perspective is so easy to overlook.  But seeing things clearly changes everything about how it feels to do the hard work of putting more years lived in good health in your future.come connect with me:  www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me directly: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comTake my Udemy Course about Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy$10 off EYE BUY DIRECT: https://www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/1615995 Lume Deoderant discount: http://lumedeodorant.refr.cc/christinahackett $10 off coupon for your first order at Built Bar.

Instead of viewing health as an end goal, the discussion focuses on using health to enhance one's life and character. The episode dives into the concept of character development through the lens of famous figures and the distinction between 'resume virtues' and 'eulogy virtues.' By caring for one's physical body akin to a musician caring for their instrument, individuals can better engage in life's challenges and personal growth. The importance of maintaining perspective on health and utilizing it to mature morally and spiritually is emphasized, ultimately aiming to add more years lived in good health.00:00 Introduction: The True Meaning of Health00:46 Welcome and Magnesium Check01:29 Caring for Your Instrument: A Metaphor for Health02:53 Challenging Health Norms and Values06:05 The Deeper Purpose of Aging Well08:58 The Struggle for Character and Virtue13:20 The Importance of Humility and Wisdom19:32 Final Thoughts: Health as a Means to an End

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife.  But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again. The problem?  The massive knowledge gap in hormonal medicine.   That's why this week, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Louise Newson, a trailblazing general practitioner and menopause specialist who's transforming the conversation around hormone health.  We're diving into the real risks of not prescribing HRT, why hormones can be a game changer for your symptoms, and the surprising link between menopause, migraines, and inflammation.  Dr. Newson is bringing the science and clarity to the HRT convo, and she's here to help you reclaim your voice—and your hormonal health.  Listen here to set the record straight and start advocating for what you truly deserve! Dr. Louise Newson Dr. Louise Newson is a physician, women's hormone specialist, and member of the UK Government's Menopause Taskforce. She's an award-winning doctor, educator, and author, dedicated to raising awareness of women's health in perimenopause and menopause.

IN THIS EPISODE The revolution of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy  Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones  Advocating for yourself and addressing the conversation of hormone replacement therapy options with your doctor  Individualizing hormone replacement therapies  Hormones for addressing conditions like migraine  How hormones affect women's long-term health  HRT for mitigating inflammation in the entire body  Lifestyle suggestions and habits to promote hormonal balance  QUOTES “Let's just remind ourselves that hormones are an evidence-based treatment and the guidelines are telling us that it has more benefits than risks for the majority of women. Yet… It's only a minority of women in our countries and other countries that are receiving it.”  “It's harrowing what people are being told by their clinicians. And they often just want advice. They don't always want treatment, or they want to know the treatment options available to them in the future. But they're not getting any answers, and I think this is a great disservice to women.”  “I see a lot in the clinic, women who have seen all sorts of specialists, have all sorts of treatments, but no one's spoken about their hormones.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Louise Newson's Website Dr. Newson's Instagram Dr. Newson's Podcast Get Dr. Newson's FREE Balance App: Your go-to for Menopause Health  Pre-order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE!  RELATED EPISODES  #647: Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) Isn't Your Mom's HRT + It's One Of The Best Strategies For Longevity with Dr. Amy Killen #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #620: What You Need to Know About Premature Menopause, Perimenopause, HRT and Your Options with Dr. Salome Masghati #605: Breaking the HRT Confusion: The Truth Behind Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopausal Women with Karen Martel

I sat down with Dr. Vikram Talaulikar—reproductive endocrinologist, menopause specialist, researcher and co-founder of The Menopause Clinic London (UK), and one of the most evidence-based, grounded voices in this space. This conversation goes deep into what's really going on in perimenopause and menopause. We talk about: The actual hormone changes during perimenopause (hint: it's not just estrogen!) Why so many women (and doctors!) are still confused about HRT in 2025 Bioidentical vs. compounded hormones—what's safe, effective, and evidence-based What the research really says about breast cancer risk And how YOU can walk into your doctor's office with the language, tools, and confidence to advocate for your own hormone health. How to find the best combination of hormone therapy for you Whether you're already on hormone therapy, curious about starting, or navigating symptoms and wondering WTF is going on—you're going to get so much clarity, validation, and actionable advice here. This one is a must-listen. I wish every woman (and doctor) could hear it.

Today, I have the privilege of sitting down with the very first business coach I ever had—Sandi Krakowski. With over 32 years of entrepreneurial experience, Sandi has built multiple businesses, generating over nine figures in revenue. While growing her companies, she also homeschooled all of her children—embodying her identity as a true overachiever who has not only succeeded, but also healed and thrived along the way.

 We spend a lot of time wondering whether we're normal, whether the things that we're experiencing are normal, or if our test results are normal.  I think you should aspire not to be normal.  Today we'll talk about several ways I think being abnormal will put more years lived in good health into your future.  Let's not be normal together.  As Jiddu Krishnamurti once said “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”email me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comMy Website: www.healthcouragecollective.com

Are you looking to manage your hormones but were told to wait until menopause? Do you feel you were ignored by your doctor when you asked about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), perimenopause, menopause, endometriosis, anxiety, depression, brain fog, weight gain, PCOS, or postpartum issues? We invited Dr. Sarah Daccarett, a top hormone expert and founder of Inner Balance to the podcast to give you some clarity and empowerment, because the decline of hormones starts much earlier than you think and most doctors are not hormone experts. The go-to answer for a myriad of symptoms has always been birth control. Birth control is NOT a hormone, and it's not HRT. It's a chemical and shouldn't be prescribed as a treatment. Dr. Daccarett is here to debunk estrogen dominance and explain why you don't need lab work for HRT, you need to be heard. And btw, HRT is safe in case you were scared by the media years ago. Hormones are a source of youth and beauty and wellbeing and they can be optimal no matter how old you are. Help is out there and HRT is your choice. You can have your cake and eat it too. We'll tell you how. Dr. Daccarett's Links:Website: https://www.innerbalance.comInstagram (Practice): @innerbalancemdInstagram (Personal): @sarahdaccarettmd(00:01:23) Welcome Dr. Sarah Daccarett, hormone health expert to the podcast.(00:03:27) How Dr. Daccarett's personal struggles led her down this path.(00:08:40) Why birth control isn't always the answer to regulate hormone imbalances. (00:17:06) If hormone levels decline in our 30s, why are we brushed aside until we are in our mid 40s?(00:25:21) What are the long term impacts of birth control? (00:29:51) How to understand our hormone levels.

 There is a cheap and easy lab test that can give you a lot of information about your risk for scary things like  heart attack, stroke, dementia, brain shrinkage, osteoporosis and more.

However, many people — even children — are experiencing hormone disruptions today.[03:37] Jackie: "It's really our practices, focusing on how the body was designed by God, and how can we work with it to really help that person heal through all stages of life."Jackie tries to help people return to what she believes is the body's "natural" state.

Send us a textIs hormone replacement therapy a risk or a protector for women's cardiovascular health? Debunking outdated myths, this episode explores the latest research on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and its potential to support vibrant wellness, especially for women navigating menopause.Today, hosts Dr. Emmy Brown, ND, and co-host Melissa Gentile, INHC, welcome Deidre Arms, BC-APRN, a functional medicine nurse practitioner, to discuss bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and its impact on women's cardiovascular health. 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:

You can make your healthy choices, the choices you wish you'd just make automatically….automatic if you know the language of the future!  It's not Jawaese or Clingon.  It's the language of algorithms, and it can make your life amazing!  Algorithms are just a process or set of rules to be followed in a series of steps that can be used to make calculations, resolve problems, and reach decisions.  Whether you know it or not, your life is already a series of algorithms.  If (this)....then (that).  You can leverage this language to install algorithms that run on autopilot that create a life that will blow your mind.$10 off Eye Buy Direct Glasses:  https://www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/1615995Visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comEmail me directly: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:      Melissa: I am 43, 160lbs 5ft. 6 good amount of muscle. I eat completely clean as in grassfed fed, organic turkey, organic chicken occasionally brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus and arugula, pickles, saurkraut and kimchi and I only drink water. I do eat a good amount of protein 140ish grams a day. I just got bloodworm and my A1C was 5.6. All other markers were great just that one was high for me not dr. ...why when I don't eat sugar of any sorts! Just recently as in last few weeks started introducing some fruit back in such as apples, blueberries and strawberries but still so confused can you explain?                                                                                                                                                                                               Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just completed a 7 day detox, love it. Today I started the Heavy Metal detox. Really excited about detoxing my body from toxic metals. I have high Aluminum and mercury and mineral ratios are off. Anyway, Thank you for your protocols. I'm in menopause and suffering from a couple of symptoms. No libido, no sleep, irritable, brain fog, dryness, I'm not the person i used to be in terms of happiness. I used to be happy for no reason, but since menopause I changed. I'm 51. Do you offer help for those symptoms? I want to be a lovely wife as i used to be. At this point I'm even considering taking Bio Identical hormones. Thank you in advance.                                                                                                    Drew: For almost 2 years I have had a pain behind my right eye. It started as a flare up after cutting grass one day. Most of the pain comes in the morning right before I get out of bed. It is a dull ache and sometimes leaves my eye crusty. I have seen two different eye doctors, my PCP, an ear nose and throat doctor, and a neuro ophthalmologist all of which can find nothing wrong. I have had a CT scan as well as an MRI which revealed nothing. Hoping you could shed some light on next steps that I need to take or where I need to look. Thank you so much for all that you do.     AA: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am hoping that you might have some insight. In Oct. I got extremely sick ( maybe covid) with horrible respiratory issues high fever etc. every month since my period has been 3 weeks late and as of one month I cannot eat without pain. The worst symptom is no sleep because of abdominal cramping and severe full body chills ( tingling) the tingling happens all day but is more apparent after ingesting food. I have taken stool tests/blood tests which seemed normal except for low b12 (300/ml) and went for a colonoscopy ( which resulted in the doc. saying I had some inflammation at the bottom end of my colon and it could be ulcerative colitis but didn't say with certainty. ) I am at a loss its been three weeks without caffeine, sugar, wheat, dairy and the symptoms persist.                                                                 Kay: Hello Dr. Cabral- I really appreciate your very informative podcasts! I am taking pregnenolone capsules at night recommended by my physician to help make some of the hormones that decline with age, and also to enhance cognitive function.. I have 2 questions: 1) Should I discontinue this prior to taking my at-home Equilife Stress, Mood and Metabolism test, and if so, by how many days? 2) Is taking this supplement going to make my body "lazy" and produce less of my natural pregnenolone? I've noticed that this helps me sleep better at night- I take this and a very low dose of naltrexone compounded by a compounding pharmacy. I am hoping that the SM&M test will give me clues to rebalancing my hormones naturally so I do not always need to rely on exogenous (and expensive) compounds.

What diseases or conditions are you most worried about getting as you age?  I can tell you what you should be most worried about, based on statistics (which is metabolic dysfunction, such as prediabetes and cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and damaged blood vessel linings), but if you're like most women I've talked to, you'd probably say you're most scared of getting cancer, Alzheimer's and living in chronic pain.  But did you know that there's a TON you can do to tip the odds in favor of not getting those 3 conditions?  Most of what most people think they know about these 3 conditions is wrong.  Which is great, because when you know better, you can do more to create the future you want for yourself.Free list of alternative Cancer Therapy Books: https://www.healthcouragecollective.com/lead-gen-funnel-opt-in-3189-1897-8755connect with me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com & www.healthcouragecollective.comGet $10 off glasses: $10 off EYE BUY DIRECT: https://www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/1615995 Take my udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/course/draft/5505730/?referralCode=C418EDF9C393C5716D9E

Most of the women I talk with about getting 100% consistent doing the things they wish they would consistently do because they know they'll put more years lived in good health in their future are on kind of a roller coaster ride of feeling successful and smart and committed and feeling discouraged, ashamed and defeated.  If you're ready to exit that carnival and build the physiologic future you want from a more grounded and steady place (one that's way more effective and way more satisfying), then today's episode is for you.   connect with me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com & www.healthcouragecollective.comTake my Udemy Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/draft/5505730/?referralCode=C418EDF9C393C5716D9EGet $10 off glasses:  https://www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/1615995

She breaks down how hormone levels fluctuate, why testing is key, and which treatment options—like estrogen patches, progesterone creams, and testosterone therapy—might work best for different symptoms.

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."

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.

If you want to dive deeper, you'll find links to the full episodes in the show notes below. In the early 1900's estrogen hormone replacement was the most prescribed medication in America! It remained in first or second place for the rest of the century. Until 2002 when the media got a hold of the results of the Women's Health Initiative study. Doctors around the world were warned not prescribe it and women were told that it was dangerous and shouldn't be on it. But since that time there has been a reanalysis of the study with a much different outcome then was first perceived. Yet we as women and our doctors have heard very little if anything about the benefits and safety of hormone replacement. In this episode: what the WHI study found in their trials the reanalysis of the study and what it really showed HRT versus BHRT a deep dive into the multiply studies done on HRT and BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) can BHRT help with weight loss? does hormone replacement cause breast cancer? and much more!
