Use of hormones in medical treatment
POPULARITY
Your bones, brain, and muscles are having the same conversation—and nutrition is the translator. Duke orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein breaks down how midlife hormone shifts accelerate bone loss, cartilage wear, and muscle decline, and why training + food choices can improve all three at once. We cover earlier DEXA timing, the bone–brain crosstalk (osteocalcin, agility, balance), and a practical plan: progressive strength, safe impact/jump options (step drops, heel drops, rebounders), grip and toe work for fall prevention, and weighted vests/rucking basics. On the nutrition side, we get specific: prioritize protein, aim for food-first calcium, and use targeted support where appropriate—vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium glycinate, collagen, and turmeric—to lower inflammation, protect joints, and support cognition. Expect clear modifications for cranky knees/shoulders, plus why consistent movement is linked to reduced dementia risk. This episode is your integrated blueprint to build bone, protect your brain, and keep muscle on your frame—so you stay strong, steady, and independent for decades. Actionable, hopeful, and BS-free—use this episode to build stronger bones, happier joints, and real confidence for the next 20 years.Follow Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein at https://www.instagram.com/jocelyn_wittstein_md/Her book, The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan, is available at booksellers._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

Diet has become one of the most polarizing topics in modern health. Whether it's carnivore, keto, or veganism, conversations around food can quickly become divisive. But beyond the noise and online debates — how do you actually determine the best way to eat for your health, longevity, and heart? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joel Kahn, an integrative cardiologist often referred to as “America's Healthy Heart Doc.” After decades practicing conventional cardiology, Dr. Kahn shifted his focus toward preventative medicine — emphasizing nutrition, early testing, and lifestyle strategies to help patients avoid heart disease altogether. Dr. Kahn shares his evidence-based approach to heart disease prevention, including how he helps patients identify and treat risk factors ten years before a potential heart attack. We dive into the science behind different diets, what research actually shows about plant-based nutrition, and why personalization — not dogma — is key when it comes to both food and medication. We also explore the connection between hormones and cardiovascular health, the role of post-menopausal hormone therapy in prevention, and what tests you should consider before ever starting statins. If you care about protecting your heart—and cutting through the confusion around diet and prevention—this is an episode you don't want to miss. Episode Highlights: Dr. Kahn's transition from traditional cardiology to preventive and integrative care His lifelong passion for nutrition and functional wellness The simple rule everyone should follow for a heart-healthy diet Research-backed benefits of plant-forward eating Why statin therapy should be personalized, not automatic The most important tests to request before taking statins How hormone therapy after menopause impacts heart health The vital link between hormonal balance and cardiovascular function Dr. Kahn's top testing recommendations for early heart disease detection Connect with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Website | DrJoelKahn.com Dr. Joel Kahn's Clinic | Kahn Longevity Center Dr. Joel Kahn on Instagram | @DrJKahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Podcast | Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Books | View Dr. Joel Kahn's Library Dr. Joel Kahn on The Joe Rogan Experience | Listen To The Full Episode Dr. Kahn's Joe Rogan Experience Podcast Reference Guide | View The Reference Guide Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormonal Archetype Quiz Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.

Dr. Louise Newson, world-leading menopause specialist and hormone health expert, joins James Smith to expose the truth about hormones, testosterone, and modern medicine's biggest blind spot. From the history of contraception to the stigma around testosterone and the rise of synthetic hormones, Dr. Newson argues that hormonal health isn't a “women's issue”, it's a foundation of human health we've ignored for decades. Dr. Newson is a GP, menopause specialist, and founder of the Balance Menopause app, used by millions worldwide. In this powerful conversation, she reveals how hormones influence mental health, metabolism, fertility, and performance… and why balancing them could prevent depression, dementia, and chronic disease. She explains: ◼️ Why testosterone isn't just a “male hormone” and how it transforms mood and energy ◼️ The dark history of contraception and its lasting health impact ◼️ How inflammation and modern diets disrupt hormonal balance ◼️ Why women are prescribed antidepressants instead of HRT ◼️ The real science behind hormone replacement, fertility, and GLP-1 drugs Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textEvery October 18th marks World Menopause Day, highlighting a transition affecting over a billion women worldwide who spend at least a third to half of their lives in this phase. Despite its universal nature, menopause remains poorly understood and inadequately addressed in many healthcare settings.Speaking of Women's Health Podcast Host Dr. Holly Thacker walks you through the menopause journey in this episode. She touches on the increasing severity of health issues during menopause, including metabolic syndrome and hypertension, which compound cognitive challenges like word-finding difficulties and "brain fog."Dr. Thacker will focus on the key to navigating menopause - establishing care with a knowledgeable women's healthcare clinician who can create an individualized approach based on a woman's unique symptoms, medical history, and preferences. By addressing menopause proactively rather than reactively, women can minimize symptoms while protecting their long-term health and vitality during this important life stage.

In this episode, Dr. Mariza Snyder discusses her new book, 'The Perimenopause Revolution,' focusing on the often-overlooked stage of perimenopause. The conversation explores the symptoms, challenges, and societal perceptions surrounding perimenopause, emphasizing the need for better understanding and treatment options. Dr. Snyder shares personal experiences, insights into the medical system's approach, and practical self-care strategies for women navigating this transition. She emphasizes the significance of community support, mental health, and advocacy in navigating healthcare challenges. The discussion also covers the pros and cons of telemedicine and hormone replacement therapy, as well as the difficulties women face in finding knowledgeable healthcare providers. The episode highlights the importance of recognizing perimenopause as a natural stage of life rather than a disease, advocating for informed discussions about hormone therapy and lifestyle changes to improve women's health during this time. Ultimately, both Dr. Tassone and Dr. Mariza encourage women to take charge of their health and well-being during this time in their lives. Episode Highlights: Why perimenopause is often misunderstood Why women in perimenopause are often dismissed by the medical community How the traditional medical system frequently fails to provide adequate treatment options for women in perimenopause Self-care strategies, including diet and exercise, that can significantly alleviate perimenopausal symptoms Why tracking your menstrual cycle is crucial for understanding changes during perimenopause Reasons hormone replacement therapy should be part of the conversation for women experiencing severe symptoms Why women need to be proactive in seeking help and understanding their bodies during this transition Dr. Snyder's book aiming to educate women about the symptoms and health implications of perimenopause Reasons quality of life should be prioritized over merely extending lifespan Why community support is vital during perimenopause How large telemedicine companies offer access but may lack personalization Why finding a knowledgeable provider can be challenging About Dr Mariza Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women's hormone expert and the author of eight books.

In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Anne Fulenwider and Monica Molenaar of Alloy Health, co-founders and co-CEOs of Alloy Health, to explore how their personal menopause journeys led them to build a women's health company that bridges the gap between medical care and accessible, ongoing support. Anne shares how having her ovaries removed at 40—and then navigating a confusing system with limited guidance—sparked the mission behind Alloy, while Monica reveals how everyday symptoms like incontinence drove innovation in skincare and hormone solutions. Together, they dive into Alloy's “care, not just content” model: connecting women directly with physicians via messaging, offering transparent pricing, and delivering prescription therapies, skincare, and metabolic care in one streamlined platform. The conversation tackles systemic barriers in women's health, the role of estrogen in skin and bladder health, and how Alloy is expanding into weight management during menopause.

Reigniting Desire in Midlife with Dr. Diane Mueller: Stress, Hormones & Real-World Intimacy FixesDesire doesn't vanish in midlife—it evolves. In this episode of Asking for a Friend, certified sexologist Dr. Diane Mueller joins host Michele Folan to unpack what really happens to libido, intimacy, and connection as hormones shift, stress piles up, and long-term relationships get comfortable.We explore the science of midlife desire, from how oxytocin calms cortisol and improves sleep to how vibration therapy and pelvic floor health can ease pain and increase pleasure. You'll learn the difference between “wanting to want” and true arousal, how testosterone fits into the libido puzzle, and why body image and tissue health deserve as much attention as hormones.Dr. Mueller introduces her concept of “erotic repair”—a framework that moves intimacy beyond penetration and toward curiosity, communication, and play. Together, we tackle mismatched desire, dopamine boredom, and the single most important habit separating happy couples from disconnected ones: talking specifically about what feels good.Expect evidence-based tools and real-world scripts you can try tonight—like the Yes/No/Maybe exercise that makes awkward conversations easier.

What if stress isn't the reason your hormones are crashing, what if it's the other way around? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with longevity clinician Dr. Sarah Daccarett to explore how early hormone decline sets women up for stress intolerance, immune dysfunction, and accelerated aging.We will explain why telling women to “just de-stress” misses the point, how estrogen and progesterone regulate immune balance, and why autoimmune disease skyrockets when these hormones drop. We also dive into the role of environmental toxins and birth control in shutting down protective signaling, and why most standard hormone therapies fail because of outdated formulations and delivery systems.You'll hear why optimizing hormones in your 20s and 30s is critical for skin health, sleep, and vitality, why waiting until menopause is too late, and how Sarah is rethinking women's health.Dr. Sarah Daccarett is the founder of InnerBalance, a telehealth platform rethinking women's hormone optimization with clinically precise dosing, advanced delivery systems, and ongoing clinical support in 46 states.We Also Discuss:(00:00) Why Women's Hormones Decline Early(15:08) Hormones, Immunity & Skin Aging(25:32) The Future of Hormone Therapy(29:38) Why Women Age Faster Than Men(40:00) Telehealth & Hormone Optimization(50:00) Diet's Hidden Impact on Hormones(01:04:19) Hormones as the Foundation of LongevityFind more from Young Goose:The YouTH Firming Body Cream: Smoother arms, firmer thighs, tighter skin, powered by NAD+ and spermidine.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-28-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with concerning research about PFAS (forever chemicals) found in feminine hygiene products. Chinese and American studies reveal significant concentrations in paper diapers, sanitary pads, and especially period underwear, with some products containing up to 77,000 parts per million. These compounds can absorb through skin and never break down in the environment, raising health concerns for products used in intimate contact. She shares research on vitamin K (MK7) for nocturnal leg cramps in older adults. A study of people 65 and older showed that 180 micrograms of menaquinone-7 reduced cramp episodes by half over two months while placebo group episodes doubled. This form of vitamin K also helps direct calcium to bones rather than arteries when taking calcium and vitamin D supplements. Dr. Dawn explains how gut bacteria are evolving to digest food thickeners like guar gum found in ketchup, salad dressing, and toothpaste. Previously considered non-digestible, these cellulose-based compounds are now being broken down by bacterial enzymes that develop when people eat high-fiber diets, potentially adding hidden calories to processed foods beyond what labels indicate. An emailer asks about Botox brain effects after reading a study in Advanced Science. Dr. Dawn critiques the research methodology, explaining that the organoid model using fetal cells doesn't replicate real-world conditions. She argues the cosmetic doses used are orders of magnitude smaller than the doses used in the study. The study concentrations are much higher than doses used in even the most aggressive therapeutic applications and concludes the study doesn't provide compelling evidence for brain toxicity concerns. Another emailer inquires about myalgia encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome genome research. Dr. Dawn explains that while GWAS studies identifying eight genetic loci are scientifically interesting, they don't provide practical diagnostic tools or treatment insights. She notes the resemblance of ME/CFS to long COVID and describes the hallmark symptom of post-exertional malaise lasting days after activity. Dr. Dawn presents encouraging dementia prevention research showing Mediterranean diet benefits. The study found 13% reduced dementia risk overall, with 25% reduction for those improving adherence. Most significantly, people with the high-risk APOE4 gene variant showed the greatest protective effect from eating leafy vegetables, fish, whole grains, and limiting processed foods. She provides an extensive discussion of hormone therapy for mental health, criticizing the medical field's neglect of hormonal causes of depression and anxiety. Dr. Dawn explains how 35% of men over 45 are testosterone deficient and describes perimenopause effects on women's mental health, including 30% increased depression risk and 112% increased bipolar disorder risk during hormonal transitions. Dr. Dawn criticizes Gameday men's health clinics for exploitative practices, describing their "man cave" marketing approach and expensive injection protocols. She explains how normal testosterone production involves daily mini-spikes rather than weekly injections, and discusses clomiphene citrate as an alternative that can improve both testosterone levels and fertility without suppressing sperm production. She concludes with a cautionary tale about imaging studies, describing a patient whose X-ray showing arthritis led to activity restrictions that may have worsened her condition. Dr. Dawn emphasizes that movement and weight-bearing exercise are crucial for joint health, even when imaging shows degenerative changes. She warns against letting scans dictate treatment over clinical symptoms and urges a "physical therapy first" approach.

Episode 2687 - Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Laura Buchanan to discuss fears behind the Women's Health Initiative and the many benefits of hormone therapy. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/08/benefits-hormone-therapy-episode-2687 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - The Benefits of Hormone Therapy Lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the number of medications a person needs to take. (2:30) The number of drugs that are being prescribed keeps increasing; however, how much and for how long can the body take multiple medications without further debilitating the body? (7:00) Vinnie has questions about hormones. (14:00) The Women's Health Initiative announcement was based on incorrect information and a flawed study. The downside is that fear still surrounds it many decades later, so women have been denied treatment options. Dr. Buchanan explains how the study was done and the flaws within it. Hormone Therapy can be so impactful for a woman's life. (28:30) There are many options available today for estrogen, progesterone, and, if necessary, testosterone. Treatment can increase quality of life. Both transdermal and vaginal estrogen can be highly effective for all kinds of symptoms. (34:00) Vinnie asks about DHEA. (41:00) DHEA is more complicated because it's the precursor to the other hormones. Bioidentical hormones are regulated appropriately by the FDA. Testosterone does not appear to increase prostate cancer risk. However, if you are on treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, it should not be taken. (54:00) Systemic estrogen (as in patches) is approved for bone loss prevention. (57:00) It also helps decrease cardiovascular risk, anxiety and depression, dementia, diabetes, and many other health issues. The closer you start it to menopause, the more helpful it is.

"No one should suffer. I think a lot of cancer survivors get told, be thankful you're alive. We've got all these wonderful treatments. We will keep you alive and just deal with the side effects of treatments, and that just isn't true." - Dr. Mindy Goldman When I sat across from Dr. Mindy Goldman at dinner the night before Tamsen Fadal's World's Hottest Menopause Party, I knew I had to get her on the podcast. As someone who's spent decades watching women suffer in silence after breast cancer treatment—told just to be grateful they're alive while managing devastating menopausal symptoms—I was thrilled to meet someone breaking down these barriers, finally. Dr. Goldman has created something revolutionary: the only program in the country that bridges breast cancer care with menopause management, training over 300 providers to support survivors through virtual telehealth. We dive deep into the biggest myth plaguing women today—that ALL breast cancer survivors must avoid hormones forever—and she explains why that's simply not true for everyone. From the real truth about bioidentical hormones versus synthetic ones, to natural alternatives that actually work, to when testosterone might be safe, this conversation will arm you with the knowledge to have informed discussions with your healthcare team. Most importantly, you'll discover that suffering through treatment side effects isn't your only option. What you'll learn: Why "breast cancer is not breast cancer" and how different types affect hormone therapy decisions The real truth about bioidentical hormones versus the synthetic ones used in the Women's Health Initiative study Natural alternatives for managing hot flashes, sleep issues, and other menopause symptoms during cancer treatment How specific exercise protocols (including interval training) can actually help prevent cancer recurrence When vaginal estrogen might be safe even for hormone-positive breast cancer survivors Lifestyle factors that matter more than genetics for cancer prevention Why women with genetic mutations or family history can often still use hormone therapy How MIDI Health is revolutionizing care for cancer survivors in all 50 states Love the Podcast?
