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.

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. She thinks that's what God intends for the human body.Her journey began when she went to Church, and the message was about procrastination. Jackie had been delaying trying to put her business together.According to Jackie, God placed her where she was. Her work isn't a job.[13:47] Breaking the Silence Around MenopauseThe guest, Jackie, tackles the stigma around menopause and how discussing it can help many women.According to Jackie, God works through our weaknesses, including our trials through menopause.Jackie encourages women to speak openly about menopause and seek help when needed.[27:07] The Environmental Impact on Natural Hormone BalanceFocusing on nourishing the body and taking care of one's health from an early age is essential.Many commercial products aren't good for you — they change the makeup of your body, especially your hormones.It's best to take early action against hormonal changes.Jackie criticizes the use of anxiety medications, highlighting that they temporarily alleviate symptoms, not heal.[38:25] Caution Against Synthetic HormonesJackie stresses the importance of finding a reliable healthcare provider for hormone tests.According to Jackie, synthetic hormones only trick your body into thinking it has the correct hormone levels.Jackie thinks there are alternative ways to handle hormonal disruptions and return to your natural hormone balance.Sleep is a time to heal when the body can really rest and regenerate. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt our sleeping patterns.[49:25] Reagan: “Once you realize, like, you know, my hormone levels are all over the place. I am going through perimenopause or menopause, then you have more peace about it.”All hormones work as messengers in the human body. Bioidentical hormones are almost exactly the same as natural ones, but synthetics aren't quite the same.[50:34] Finding Your Place Through GodYou might find your God-assigned place at any point in life.

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.

Why do some women thrive during perimenopause while others struggle with anxiety, insomnia, or weight gain? How do estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone impact your energy, mood, and overall health? And what's the difference between synthetic, bioidentical, and compounded hormone treatments?In this episode of The Courage To Be™,Dr. Anna Garrett, a hormone health expert and pharmacist, explains what every woman should know about perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy. 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. She also shares a surprising anecdote about how women often don't rub progesterone cream long enough, leading to fat tissue buildup and unwanted side effects—an important lesson for anyone using over-the-counter treatments.Dr. Garrett addresses common concerns, including the connection between hormones and bone health, libido, and weight gain, and why personalized care is essential. If you've ever felt confused about hormone therapy or frustrated by mixed messages in healthcare, this episode will help you make informed choices.Note: If you're looking for episodes on Think and Grow Rich and how it has transformed lives, look for an asterisk (*) before the title.

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.

From there, her practice focuses on optimization, longevity, disease prevention, and patient advocacy to help people live their best lives.

Dr. Roger Lobo, a renowned expert in women's health, discusses the misconceptions and controversies surrounding female hormones. He highlights the lack of knowledge and understanding in areas such as PCOS, menopause, and hormone therapy. Dr. Lobo also delves into the impact of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on hormone therapy and the importance of individualized treatment. He emphasizes the need for informed consent and personalized approaches to hormone therapy based on factors such as age, risk assessment, and transdermal delivery. The conversation also touches on the role of progesterone in protecting the uterine lining and the potential risks of bioidentical hormones. In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Roger Lobo discuss the use of hormone therapy for primary prevention in women. They address the controversy surrounding hormone therapy and the lack of consensus among healthcare providers. Dr. Lobo emphasizes the importance of education and the need for providers to be knowledgeable about hormone therapy. They also discuss the role of estrogen in preventing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Dr. Lobo mentions advancements in the field, including the use of estetrol and selective estrogen receptor modulators. Takeaways Misdiagnosis and lack of understanding are common in areas such as PCOS and menopause. The WHI study led to a generation of women being undertreated due to misconceptions about hormone therapy. Hormone therapy should be individualized based on factors such as age, risk assessment, and transdermal delivery. Progesterone is important for protecting the uterine lining in hormone therapy. Bioidentical hormones may still carry risks and should be monitored. There is controversy and lack of consensus among healthcare providers regarding the use of hormone therapy for primary prevention in women. Education is crucial to ensure that healthcare providers are knowledgeable about hormone therapy and can provide accurate information to patients. Estrogen has a role in preventing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Advancements in the field include the use of estetrol and selective estrogen receptor modulators.
