Join us on our FREE hormone education session at http://midlifeconversations.com/magic   Could hormone replacement therapy actually cause cancer if your body can't detox properly? This conversation isn't about joining "Team HRT" or going completely “natural” - it's about understanding why your individual biology matters more than blanket recommendations. Triple board-certified gynecologist Dr. Anna Cabeca joins us to shatter the black-and-white thinking around hormone replacement therapy. With over 30 years of experience prescribing HRT, she's witnessed the trends come and go, but more importantly, she's developed an approach that honors what makes YOU unique. Join us as we discuss personalized treatment plans, debunk myths around HRT, and answer questions on testosterone, progesterone, and the importance of vagal tone and mental well-being during menopause. You'll discover why two women with identical menopausal symptoms might leave the doctor's office with completely different treatment plans, and why that's exactly how it should be. Dr. Anna reveals the critical factor most doctors ignore - your body's ability to detoxify hormones - and explains why this could be the difference between thriving on HRT or facing serious health consequences. You'll also learn the surprising truth about cancer risks, why your monthly cycle was doing more than you realized, and the specific hormone levels Dr. Anna recommends for optimal safety and symptom relief. This isn't another episode telling you what to do - it's about empowering you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your own body. Whether you're considering hormone replacement, currently on HRT, or committed to natural approaches, this conversation will change how you think about menopause support forever.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Anna Cabeca:    Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/thegirlfrienddoctor Website ➜  http://midlifeconversations.com/magic    Thank you to our show sponsors!

Trans people in sports?! Huge if true. Republicans would have you believe this is a national emergency of the utmost unfairness, and for some reason a lot of otherwise good allies fall into the "well I just don't know about sports..." trap. So let's talk about where the origins of policing trans bodies in sports comes from (spoilers: it's literally the nazis), and how "unfair advantages" are actually what sports are all about. And let's talk about how trans women don't have those "advantages" anyway. You're gonna learn!

On today's episode Laura discusses hormone replacement therapy.  This is not medical advice, it's me sharing what I've learned through research, client work, and personal observation. The goal is to give you the bigger picture so you can make informed, grounded choices about your health.HRT is being pushed harder than ever, and many women are told that aging automatically means to go on HRT. But your body was designed to shift through each life stage with purpose. In this episode,  Laura break's down how hormones naturally change over time, why the current hype around estrogen is misleading, the differences between conventional HRT and bio-identical HRT, and what risks and benefits you need to know. Most importantly, we'll talk about the foundations you should put in place before even considering HRT, because no patch, pellet, or cream can fix a stressed-out, undernourished, or burnt-out body.___________Submit your questions to be answered on the show to wildwellfed@gmail.com_______Interested in becoming a client and working with me?

Her work is rooted in the belief that decline is not inevitable—it's simply what happens when we fail to adapt to our bodies' needs in midlife and as we age. Jill is the co-creator of two personalized Menopause Health & Hormone Optimization programs, the creator of The Beginner's Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy, and a trusted clinician known for making complex topics clear, approachable, and actionable. Most recently, Jill was featured in the groundbreaking menopause docuseries "Four Days," created by filmmaker Charles Mattocks and a passionate team of experts and women willing to share their stories. The series was born from a quiet question: What if we finally changed the conversation, and turned into a movement? Because the silence around menopause has gone on too long. And because women deserve to be seen, heard, and supported in this next chapter of life. The docuseries is expected to air in late fall 2025.  Jill's Links:  Website Instagram Respin Health HRT Telehealth Programs for women in the following states: California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Illinois, and Ohio   Watch on Youtube HERE.   Mentioned in this episode: HRT Made Simple™ - Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script.

In this compelling discussion, vascular surgeon Dr. Lily Johnston joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to share her journey from traditional surgical practice to metabolic health advocacy. After years of amputating limbs for diabetic patients who received poor nutritional guidance, Dr. Johnston couldn't unsee the devastating consequences of our healthcare system's approach to metabolic disease. She explains how surgeons fix anatomical problems without addressing the underlying metabolic dysfunction that causes blood vessel disease throughout the body.Dr. Johnston discusses how therapeutic carbohydrate reduction, hormone optimization, sleep quality, and stress management create better outcomes than surgery alone. She shares personal insights about her own health transformation through low-carb nutrition and her decision to create a practice balancing surgery with preventive care. The conversation reveals how traditional heart and vascular surgeries are temporary fixes that don't address root causes, leaving patients vulnerable to recurring problems.This interview bridges the gap between conventional medicine and functional approaches to metabolic health, offering hope for those looking to avoid major surgical interventions through targeted lifestyle modifications.BIG IDEASurgeons like Dr. Johnston and Dr. Ovadia have recognized that vascular and cardiac surgeries are temporary fixes—like placing buckets under a leaky roof rather than repairing the roof itself—and are now focusing on metabolic health interventions that address the root causes of disease.Lily Johnston MD contact infoWebsites: www.vascularhealthinstitute.orgnexushealthspan.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ljohnstonmdSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

This week on the podcast, I'm joined by my friend and fellow practitioner Esther Blum;  integrative dietitian, best-selling author, and someone who knows what it actually takes to feel better in perimenopause.   We get real about all of it - from postpartum hormone shifts, to the mental weight of motherhood, navigating HRT, and why women are done with being dismissed.   Esther shares what helped her reclaim her energy and identity (hint: it wasn't just supplements or sleep hygiene), and we talk through the deep nervous system shifts that so many women don't even realize are affecting their hormones.   Here's a peek at what we get into: How postpartum depletion can carry into your 40s The shame women feel around burnout and needing help How libido, confidence, and self-trust are all connected The difference between “doing all the right things” vs. actually feeling better Why midlife women need to be informed about perimenopause and HRT   Esther Blum: Esther Blum is a Menopause Dietitian and Keynote Speaker. In the past 27+ years she has helped thousands of women master menopause through nutrition, hormones and self-advocacy.

In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray, PhD in integrative and functional nutrition, reveals the shocking truth about HRT that could change how you approach midlife health forever. After working with tens of thousands of women over 20 years and diving deep into the research that conventional medicine ignores, she's uncovering why the fear around hormones is largely unfounded – and why that fear might be robbing you of your best years. From her own devastating experience with early perimenopause after a tubal ligation to becoming one of the world's experts in women's hormone metabolism, Dr. Murray shares the game-changing Medicare study of 10 million women that proves everything we thought we knew about HRT risks was wrong. She breaks down the real difference between therapeutic dosing and dangerous over-prescribing, explains why "estrogen dominance" doesn't mean what you think it does, and reveals why your body's estrogen receptors actually INCREASE during menopause – not decrease like we've been told. We also explore her telemedicine platform, The Minerva Project, designed to offer holistic, evidence-based hormonal care to women across the United States. This is the science-backed roadmap to reclaiming your vitality, protecting your brain, and thriving through midlife without apology. If you've been on the fence about HRT or struggling with conflicting advice from practitioners, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to make the best decision for YOUR unique situation.

In this enlightening episode of "The Bleeding Truth," host Sally McNally sits down with Dr. Lisa Carbonell, a board-certified expert in obstetrics and gynecology, to explore the diverse options available for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Dr. Carbonell shares her insights on the benefits and considerations of HRT, including the use of transdermal estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The discussion also covers the importance of vaginal estrogen for maintaining vaginal health and reducing the risk of urinary tract infections. Whether you're perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or simply curious about HRT, this episode offers valuable information to help you make informed decisions about your health. Tune in to discover how HRT can improve quality of life and address common menopausal symptoms.Important Links:Prescribing Addyi: https://addyihcp.com/prescribing-addyi/ISSWSH: https://www.isswsh.org/▶ Sally's Childbirth Education & Hypnobirthing Classes: https://drsallymcnally.com/childbirth...▶ Listen to us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5awpvBA...#sexual dysfunction#menopause#hormone replacement#women's health

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shouldn't be shrouded in outdated fears and misinformation. When I finally started HRT at 57, I realized I'd spent years unnecessarily suffering through sleepless nights, hot flashes, and night sweats—chalked up to “normal aging”—when effective treatments already existed.My journey began after a hysterectomy, when a nurse practitioner discovered my testosterone level was critically low (11 ng/dl, with a normal range of 13–87). That led to my first experience with vaginal estrogen and topical testosterone. But over time, I learned I needed a more comprehensive approach—including systemic estrogen and progesterone—to truly feel like myself again.This episode also breaks down the recent FDA meeting that addressed two major barriers to women's hormone health:The outdated black box warning on vaginal estrogenThe ongoing lack of FDA-approved testosterone options for womenThese regulatory hurdles continue to block access to treatments that dramatically improve quality of life for midlife women.Whether you're working with your OB-GYN or exploring options through platforms like MyAlloy, MidiHealth, HerMD, or Parlor Games—support exists. But you must advocate for yourself. No woman should suffer in silence or settle for a life that feels like a shadow of her former self.Share this episode with someone who thinks they're “just getting older” and doesn't realize how good they could actually feel.Some Online Women's Health Resources:Allara Health, Midi Health, Alloy Women's Health, Evernow, Winona, HerMD, Femgevity, Maven ClinicThis episode is not intended to be medical advice. I'm sharing my personal journey with hormone replacement therapy in hopes of starting a conversation and helping other women feel less alone.

In this episode of The Common Sense MD, Dr. Tom Rogers dives deep into the misunderstood and often controversial world of women's hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Drawing from nearly two decades of his clinical experience at Performance Medicine, Dr. Rogers unpacks the latest research, recent FDA movements, and the shifting narrative around bioidentical hormones for women—especially during and after menopause.Inspired by a recent talk featuring Dr. Marty Makary (link below), the new head of the FDA and a forward-thinking advocate for patient-first healthcare, Dr. Rogers sets the record straight on outdated myths that have kept millions of women from receiving hormone therapy. He addresses the legacy of the Women's Health Initiative study, clarifies the truth behind black box warnings, and highlights the substantial benefits of HRT, including reduced risks of heart attack, dementia, osteoporosis, and more.Whether you're a patient, provider, or simply someone interested in women's health, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a much-needed push toward redemption for women's hormone therapy.

He also explores why testosterone therapy for aging men is controversial and largely unadvised unless medically necessary, offering insights backed by evolving research and clinical guidance. Quotes to ponder: "Hormone replacement therapy may not be as risky as that study found." "For most women, the benefits of hormone replacement therapy may outweigh the risks."

The term 'hormone balancing' is widely used in wellness marketing, but it often lacks specificity and can be misleading. Despite its frequent use, true hormonal imbalances are serious medical issues that can impact various aspects of health, including metabolism, menstrual cycles, bone density, blood pressure, and fertility. If you're experiencing symptoms like irregular sleep, intense cravings, or irregular periods, you're not alone. We're here to help clarify what's really going on with your hormones.In the first episode of this series, we covered the hormones melatonin and leptin. Check out part 1 HERE. In part 2 of this series, we are covering the complexities of sex hormones, including progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. We will explore how lifestyle factors like body fat, stress, and diet influence hormone levels. We also cover the effects of chronic stress, exercise, and alcohol on hormonal health, offering practical tips for managing hormone-related symptoms and optimizing well-being.01:48 Understanding Sex Hormones: Progesterone, Estrogen, and Testosterone03:13 Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance06:13 Impact of Xenoestrogens on Hormonal Health08:37 Managing Stress, Exercise, and Diet 15:05 Debunking Seed Cycling for Hormone Regulation16:07 Practical Tips for Managing PMS Symptoms18:00 The Impact of Fiber on Hormone Regulation18:50 Hormone Replacement Therapy and Metabolism20:11 Conclusion: Supporting Your Hormones Through Lifestyle Choices Connect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookGeorgie's Instagram Christina's Instagram Have you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

As it turns out, aging isn't just about wrinkles and gray hair. It's about your immune system silently giving out years in advance. If you're dealing with chronic stress, sleep issues, inflammation, hormone shifts, or just feel like your body is aging faster than it should, there's a test that might explain exactly why—and how to turn it around. I sat down with Nikolina Lauc, CEO of GlycanAge, to unpack the science of glycans—those powerful, complex sugars that serve as early warning signals for disease and inflammation, even a decade before symptoms show up. Nikolina shares how glycans can predict things like hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis years before they happen, how menopause accelerates aging by 10+ years, why stress adds 15 years to your biological clock, and how hormone replacement, moderate exercise, and even switching from HIIT to yoga can roll your biological age backward. This is the kind of info that gives you back control of your health.   “We can predict hypertension six years ahead of time with 98% accuracy. We can predict rheumatoid arthritis 10 years ahead of time with 92% accuracy.” ~ Nikolina Lauc   In This Episode: - Backstory: What are glycans, and why should you measure them? - Research and predictive power of GlycanAge - What to expect from a GlycanAge test - Top factors that improve your biological age - The effects of stress on your biological clock - Exercise and its effects on aging - Key aging differences between men and women - Things to do if your biological age is high - How to get the GlycanAge test   Products & Resources Mentioned: GlycanAge Biological Age Test: You can get it from https://glycanage.com  Puori PW1 Protein: Get 20% off with code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy  Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Nikolina Lauc Nikolina Lauc is the co-founder and CEO of GlycanAge and has helped pioneer a revolutionary way to measure biological aging through glycans—complex carbohydrates that change with immune system wear and tear. Her father, a renowned glyco-biologist and the second most published scientist in the field, developed one of the first biomarkers of molecular aging. GlycanAge has since analyzed over 200,000 samples—more than 85% of all human glycan data globally. Nikolina is on a mission to make early detection and personalized prevention mainstream.

(59:06) #Quah question #2 – I've heard you guys say protein is hit or miss daily, it's not a weekly average. Why? If I hit 150G one day, 250G the next, for an average of 200G per day, why does that not work? (1:04:21) #Quah question #3 – I keep seeing that taking Baking Soda before you work out will give you bigger pumps. Is there any truth to this? I'm worried instead of getting bigger pumps it's going to be bigger dumps. (1:06:25) #Quah question #4 – Any tips for hitting all heads of the triceps when behind-the-neck movements cause elbow pain/discomfort? I don't think it's a mobility issue, since the pain is at the flexion point, not when having hands behind the head.
