Podcasts about Hormone replacement therapy

In this special re-airing, listeners are invited to revisit a highly requested interview from the Women Aging Powerfully 2025 Summit. The host Leah Vachani sits down with menopause medicine and functional neurology expert Dr. Fiona Lovely to pull back the curtain on Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause, or MSM. Drawing on two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Lovely expertly details this underdiagnosed condition, which affects seventy-one percent of women and manifests as joint stiffness, declining muscle mass, and bone density loss. The conversation provides a comprehensive look at the body's response to estrogen loss and the protective role of contemporary Hormone Replacement Therapy. Listeners will discover how bioidentical progesterone and topical estradiol can reduce pain while preserving muscle. Furthermore, the discussion highlights the necessity of optimizing daily protein intake to stabilize blood sugar and fight sarcopenia. Resistance training is presented as non-negotiable for metabolic health, alongside practical strategies for advocating for proper medical care. Episode Highlights: Understanding MSM and its prevalence among women. The protective benefits of bioidentical progesterone and estradiol. Why optimal protein consumption is crucial for fighting sarcopenia. The importance of resistance training and balance exercises for cognitive and metabolic health. Practical tips for advocating for contemporary treatments at the doctor's office. For full access to the summit, visit https://womenagingpowerfully.com. Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:

Welcome to this week's Midlife Minute. This episode is dedicated to the overwhelming number of HRT-related questions I've received from my community in 2026. Hormone replacement therapy has generated more questions than almost any other midlife topic, especially regarding timing, progesterone, testing, and special situations. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Women can still benefit from HRT later in menopause. The importance of working with a knowledgeable prescriber when making hormone replacement therapy decisions How progesterone tolerance can vary from one woman to another Why your blood work should be timed according to when you apply your estradiol patch, and why I prefer to focus on estradiol rather than routinely monitoring progesterone levels How the synthetic hormones used in oral contraceptives differ from the bioidentical hormones used in HRT How your medical history can influence your hormone replacement therapy plan Fear and outdated information may continue to create confusion about hormone replacement therapy.

LeAnn Rimes joins Dr. Mindy for a deeply honest conversation about what perimenopause has brought to the surface in her life.She opens up about the unpredictability of her hormones, the exhaustion of trying to maintain the same pace she has carried for decades, and the difference between anxious thoughts and anxiety that lives in the body. Together, LeAnn and Dr. Mindy explore why perimenopause can make old wounds feel louder, why hormone therapy can help without solving everything, and what it looks like to slow down when your identity has always been tied to performing, producing, and pushing through.This is a conversation about hormones, but it is also about identity, capacity, anger, rest, and the question so many women begin asking in midlife: who do I want to be now?In this episode you'll learn:The difference between mental anxiety and physical “body anxiety” Why LeAnn has had to change her relationship with rest What happens when your life still demands more than your body can give The grief women may experience around motherhood, identity, and missed choices Why hormone replacement therapy is not always a simple fix How perimenopause can force women to reconsider who they have always beenMore on LeAnn RimesLeAnn Rimes is a 2x Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, performer, and actress whose career has spanned more than 30 years.

Are you constantly exhausted, struggling with brain fog, watching the number on the scale climb, and being told, "It's just menopause" or "Your labs are normal"?In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I sit down with Margot Shute, Certified Holistic Health & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, to uncover why so many women over 45 continue to struggle despite being told everything looks "fine."We dive into why menopause isn't always the whole story, why thyroid dysfunction is frequently overlooked, and why conventional lab work can miss the deeper imbalances contributing to fatigue, stubborn weight, brain fog, and feeling unlike yourself. We also discuss why some women continue to experience symptoms even after starting HRT, and how taking a functional root-cause approach can help uncover what's really driving those symptoms.If you've ever felt dismissed because your blood work came back "normal," this episode will empower you to ask better questions, advocate for your health, and understand that your symptoms deserve answers.In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why your symptoms may not be "just menopause"  The thyroid connection many women never hear about  Why normal lab results don't always mean optimal health  Why HRT isn't always the complete solution  What a functional root-cause approach actually looks like  Practical next steps if you know something still feels "off" Resources To Help You

Diets rich in fruits and vegetables preserve brain function—but in vulnerable persons with the ApoE4 “Alzheimer's gene”, more meat staves off decline, contradicting years of recommendations to minimize animal protein; Supplements for adrenal insufficiency; “Forever chemicals” may weaken teen's bones—but menopausal hormone replacement therapy decisively fends off osteoporosis; Legionnaire's disease strikes poor and affluent alike in New York City; Doctors propose warning labels for GLP-1 drugs on account of this under-appreciated danger.

Are you feeling tired, irritable, or struggling with brain fog and weight gain? We're often told these symptoms are just a normal part of aging, but what if they don't have to be? In this episode, we sit down with CarolAnn Tutera, CEO of SottoPelle Therapy, to demystify Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).   CarolAnn Tutera  shares the fascinating history of how her late husband, Dr. Gino Tutera, revolutionized hormone therapy by individualizing pellet dosing to match each patient's unique needs. We discuss the critical importance of getting baseline lab work done, why the steady release of pellet therapy outperforms other delivery methods like creams or injections, and how hormone balance impacts everything from bone density to brain health and relationships. Plus, CaT shares her personal wellness routines, favorite self-help resources, and her philosophy on aging gracefully and joyfully.   In this episode, we cover: What bioidentical hormones are and how they differ from synthetic hormones. The science behind pellet therapy and its 24/7 time-released delivery system. Why hormone dosing must be highly individualized based on comprehensive blood work. The impact of lifestyle factors (stress, diet, environment) on hormone depletion. How BHRT can alleviate common symptoms of aging, including memory loss, hot flashes, and low energy. CaT's personal wellness practices for a joyful and healthy life. Timestamps [00:00] Intro: The lack of education around hormones and menopause.
