He empowers you to approach this next season with purpose—not just survive it. We cover everything from hormone replacement therapy and bioidentical hormones to the difference between natural and conventional approaches. This conversation is both eye-opening and practical, reminding you that this transition doesn't have to be as hard as the world makes it out to be. Whether you're struggling with fluctuating hormones or preparing for perimenopause or menopause, this episode offers a holistic framework and actionable tools to help you reclaim your energy, confidence, and health.

“Many women don't have the information they need to understand what's going on with their hormones.” - Kate WellsWhile the conversation around menopause and hormone therapy has progressed significantly in recent years, many women remain unaware of their options and lack access to practitioners who can guide them through these transitions. When you add the fact that many of the symptoms associated with these hormone changes are still highly stigmatized, it's no wonder women are left feeling isolated and uncertain.The good news is that more practitioners and companies are changing the way they approach women's health. Expanding their focus beyond efficacy, they're building a more engaging and empowering experience for their customers.Today, I'm excited to introduce you to someone who's doing just that - menopause advocate and self-proclaimed biochem nerd, Kate Wells. Recognizing the need for more education on and access to hormone therapies, Kate and Kirsti Hegg founded Parlor Games. Being a clinician and a businesswoman can be hard, and Kate has been able to successfully meld the two and pursue a new purpose, starting in midlife.In this conversation, Kate and I discuss why so many women are finding themselves on a new path after 50, her journey in creating accessible hormone products, the challenges of educating women about hormonal health, the significance of community support, what to think about when choosing over-the-counter hormone therapies, why practitioner guidance is important, common misconceptions about estrogen, why Kate is passionate about the educational aspect of Parlor Games, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/what-are-bioidentical-hormones-with-kate-wells/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).

In this week's episode Natalie is joined by GP & Hormone Specialist Dr Sohère Roked to talk the importance of hormonal balance in midlife and how adopting a holistic approach to our wellbeing could be the key to a smoother, happier menopause. Discussing the vital role that testosterone plays in a women's overall health and wellbeing, Sohère shares her expert insight on how she works with her patients to optimise their hormones, unpacking the different versions of HRT and giving a detailed description of her approach from diagnosis to treatment. She remarks that in order for women to receive the best care it's imperative that they actively get in tune with their bodies, tracking cycles, mood and sleep in order to provide their doctor with as much information as possible in order for them to receive most informed and effective treatment. Later in the conversation Dr Roked busts the myths around pregnancy in perimenopause with Sohère again providing an in depth account of how women in perimenopause become pregnant and how the right hormonal care can help with fertility. The pair also discuss the common concern of low libido in perimenopause and menopause with Sohère detailing that whilst HRT can be helpful it is advisable to consider all aspects of our wellbeing to address this symptom. Shining a light on mental health in mid life, Dr Roked notes she often recommends wellbeing practices before medication and the importance of considering the negative impacts of alcohol as we approach mid life. Listen in for expert advice and insightful commentary on women's hormonal health and wellbeing.

“Your normal is different than everybody else's.” There's so much misinformation out there about hormones. The misunderstanding of the Women's Health Initiative findings did massive damage to women's health. It basically ruined an entire generation of physicians who now buy into the false narrative on the dangers of hormone replacement. Today I'm doing a review episode all about my book, The Hormone Balance Bible. I wrote the book not for you to read from cover to cover but so that you can look at the relevant sections as you go through certain stages of your life. In The Hormone Balance Bible, I break down the 12 hormonal archetypes and what to do to start the healing journey for each one.  For this episode,  I'm talking about how you can start figuring out which archetype you are, the characteristics of each type, symptoms you might be noticing, the kinds of women I see in my practice for each archetype, and more. Enjoy the episode!   Highlights What I'm sharing today about the Hormone Balance Bible The concept and creation of the Hormone Balance Bible How I came up with the twelve hormonal archetypes Why it was important to me to include processes with which women could heal themselves Archetype #1: The Queen - Estrogen Dominance Archetype #2: The Unbalanced Heroine - Progesterone Deficiency Archetype #3: The Mother - High Estrogen, Low Progesterone Archetype #4: The Wise Woman - Menopause Archetype #5: The Workaholic - Excess Cortisol Archetype #6: The Saboteur - Low Cortisol Archetype #7: The Nun - Low Testosterone Archetype #8: The Warrior - High Testosterone Archetype #9: The Underdog - Hypothyroidism/Subclinical Hypothyroidism Archetype #10: The Overachiever - Hyperthyroidism Archetype #11: The Chairwoman - Estrogen Dominance + Excess Cortisol Archetype #12: The Philosopher The medical system's poor treatment of menopausal women   Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz   Thank you to our sponsor, Endurance Products Company!

In this conversation, Dr. Shawn Tassone, a holistic gynecologist, discusses the complexities surrounding bioidentical hormones and compounding pharmacies. He clarifies the differences between bioidentical and compounded hormones, emphasizing the importance of understanding their roles in hormone therapy. Dr. Tassone also addresses regulatory challenges, misconceptions about safety and efficacy, and the need for personalized treatment options in women's health. He advocates for patient empowerment in making informed decisions about their hormone therapy. Episode Highlights: Bioidentical hormones are structurally similar to natural hormones. Compounding pharmacies can customize hormone dosages for individual needs. There is a significant difference between compounded and mainstream hormones. Regulatory bodies often create misconceptions about compounded hormones. Patients should be educated about the options available to them. Compounding pharmacies can provide alternatives when mainstream options are limited. The lack of FDA-approved testosterone formulations for women is a significant issue. Compounded hormones can be more cost-effective and convenient for patients. Patient compliance improves with simplified medication regimens. It's essential for patients to have multiple options for hormone therapy.

In this episode, Tara clarifies the limitations of using herbs, supplements, and phytoestrogens as alternatives to natural bioidentical hormones in alleviating perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. She explains that while some herbal remedies may offer temporary relief for certain symptoms, they do not provide the comprehensive protective benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using natural bioidentical hormones. Tara emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making regarding HRT and provides resources, such as her course "HRT Made Simple," to guide women through understanding the significant health benefits of hormone therapy for long-term well-being. Here are three key takeaways from our discussion: Bioidentical Hormones vs. Alternatives While herbs and phytoestrogens might offer some relief from symptoms, they don't replace the health-protective benefits of natural bioidentical hormones, which are vital for mitigating risks associated with heart disease, osteoporosis, and more. The Importance of Educating Yourself Many doctors aren't fully equipped to guide you through hormone replacement therapy because they don't receive extensive training in medical school. My course, HRT Made Simple, provides you with simplified, evidence-based knowledge, empowering you to make informed decisions alongside your healthcare provider. Rethinking "Natural" Menopause Living longer means facing extended periods of hormone deficiency post-menopause. As we're at a higher risk for serious health conditions in these years, reconsidering the idea of natural menopause is essential. Embrace modern medicine's role in improving your quality of life.

“If you really want to build a relationship with your patients, a model based on insurance doesn't enable you to spend enough time with them to build that connection,” says Dr. Ginamarie Papia, a practitioner of integrative medicine based in New York. That explains why the 30-something entrepreneur has just launched her own virtual “direct-to-patient” medical practice that she describes as a more affordable version of the concierge model. The move reflects frustration among providers of her generation with the confining, administrative approach to healthcare delivery that's contributing to high levels of burnout, and their desire for a better work-life balance.  It also reflects a realization that millennials and subsequent generations are digital natives who grew up in a culture with high expectations for convenience.  Dr. Papia tells host Michael Carrese that her primary care practice will provide natural, holistic solutions with a particular focus on weight loss and women's health, including options beyond birth control medication for younger women struggling with hormone or menstrual cycle issues. Join us for a grassroots-level look at evolving models of healthcare delivery, the benefits of integrative medicine and the role of social media in providing patient education. Divinely Guided HealthThe Upward Spiral Podcast

Dr. Malaika Woods has a great expertise in many areas. She is certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine, and she is Double Board Certified both in Obesity Medicine, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. According to Dr. Woods, “The human body is divinely designed and has a great capacity to heal itself. We just need to learn how to fuel the body with what it needs. I am excited to use my knowledge of integrative functional medicine and bio-identical hormones to help individuals discover the root causes of their illnesses and unlock their body's full potential. My journey into weight loss then led me into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) certification. Once I incorporated BHRT, I started seeing great improvement in my client's health. But there was still something missing. The missing piece was integrative functional medicine which is all about discovering the root cause. Now I have a complete toolbox to help women discover the underlying cause of their condition and truly unlock their body's AMAZING potential. Because I was seeing such amazing results in my own health and my patients' health I couldn't keep this to myself!"
