Menopause isn't just a diagnosis—it's a transition, and the way we treat it needs to change. Dr. Kelly Casperson joins Dr. Suzette Sutherland in this urogynecology crossover episode of BackTable to challenge outdated beliefs about menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). They revisit the impact of the 1990s Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study and explain how its findings—especially around synthetic hormones—were widely misinterpreted and continue to adversely influence patient and provider decisions today. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Casperson breaks down the differences between the hormones used in WHI and the safer, more targeted options available today. The conversation explores the broad benefits of modern HRT, including reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis-related fractures, and even dementia. Beyond the science, the episode also addresses the urgent need for better medical education and updated guidelines around menopause care.Dr. Casperson and Dr. Sutherland make the case for empowering patients through informed consent and better clinician training. They also discuss Dr. Casperson's upcoming book, The Menopause Moment, which aims to equip women with the tools and knowledge to navigate this life stage with confidence. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:50 - Focus on Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy04:20 - The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Study05:39 - Understanding Risks and Misconceptions12:43 - Reevaluation of the Women's Health Initiative Study18:31 - Impact of Media and Physician Education19:58 - Current State of Hormone Therapy22:17 - Broader Implications and Future Directions27:17 - Evaluating FDA Warnings and Gender Bias in Hormone Treatments29:49 - The Impact of Hormone Therapy on Women's Health32:11 - Risks of Not Using Hormones35:44 - Hormones and Brain Health: Debunking Myths40:41 - The Timing Hypothesis and Long-Term Hormone Use46:32 - Advocacy and Education for Menopause Awareness48:04 - Conclusion and Upcoming Resources --- RESOURCES PBS: The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause:https://www.pbs.org/show/the-m-factor-shredding-the-silence-on-menopause/ The Menopause Moment by Dr. Kelly Casperson: https://kellycaspersonmd.com/the-menopause-moment-book/ Systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of menopause hormone therapy on risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10625913/

Vaginal estrogen is not the enemy. Outdated data is. In this crossover episode of the BackTable Urology and OBGYN podcasts, Dr. Suzette Sutherland and Dr. Yahir Santiago-Lastra delve into the persistent challenges and ongoing advocacy efforts surrounding the FDA's black box warning on vaginal estrogen. --- SYNPOSIS They explore the historical context and far-reaching influence of the 1990s Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, asserting that its misinterpretation continues to shape misconceptions and hinder effective menopause care. The discussion highlights recent data refuting the risks associated with vaginal estrogen therapies and underscores the urgent need for updated, evidence-based guidelines to support women throughout menopause. Dr. Santiago-Lastra also draws attention to gender-based inequities in hormone treatment, the robust evidence contradicting the current black box warning, and the multi-faceted advocacy required to bring about change. This episode is part of a broader series focused on various aspects of menopause. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:01 - Menopause Series Overview03:55 - History of the Black Box Warning on Estrogen07:26 - Understanding the Black Box Warning12:11 - The Citizen's Petition and FDA Process18:11 - Gender Inequity in Medical Treatment22:45 - Factors Resulting in Gender Inequity29:02 - Genital Urinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)29:32 - Benefits of Vaginal Estrogen33:33 - Legislative Advocacy and Medicare34:43 - Professional and Patient Advocacy36:35 - Challenges and Progress in Label Change43:35 - Historical Context and Gender Equity45:07 - Recap and Future Directions

Did you know that starting hormone replacement therapy has an ideal window, and starting it at the wrong time can actually impact your brain, bones, and heart? In this week's episode of Menopause Mastery, I'll break down the science behind the critical window theory of hormone replacement therapy. Discover the truth about the Women's Health Initiative study that scared women away from hormones overnight, and learn why that poorly constructed study led to decades of misinformation. I explain how the average 63-year-old participants with existing cardiovascular disease don't represent the typical woman considering hormone therapy. Learn about the biological signals your body gives you - from sleep interruption and brain fog to the "Sahara desert" effect and joint pain - that indicate it's time to consider bioidentical hormone replacement. I reveal why progesterone decline starts in your late twenties, how testosterone affects memory and motivation, and why topical estrogen is the gold standard. Whether you're experiencing perimenopause symptoms in your 40s or wondering if it's "too late" to start hormones in your 60s, this episode provides the science-backed guidance you need to make informed decisions about your hormone health.

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Optimal Metabolism, I'm opening up about something far beyond food, fasting, or hormones: my spiritual transformation. Over the past several years, I've experienced tremendous success—and tremendous loss. What started as a nutrition therapy business rooted in service began to feel more like striving. I found myself chasing downloads, metrics, and content calendars… and losing sight of who I was really called to be. ✨ In this episode, I share: Why I stepped away from social media and podcasting for a season How I realized I was idolizing my business The power of obedience and stillness when life feels out of control What God is showing me about rest, identity, and true healing How I'm rebuilding my work around Him—not around hustle This is a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and consider whether you're prioritizing spiritual health as much as physical. ✅ Key Topics Covered The unspoken pressure behind business success in the health world Recognizing when social media becomes spiritual distraction How stepping away brought clarity to your faith and family What it means to trust God with your business and your purpose Encouragement for others stuck in the cycle of “doing more” Want to connect with me personally or share your story?

This one is a must-listen. I wish every woman (and doctor) could hear it.
Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! In this deeply personal episode, he shares why lab work—especially testing FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)—is non-negotiable in hormone replacement therapy. This is not about gatekeeping. It's about understanding. It's about caring. Dr. McCarthy recounts a formative memory of meeting a woman who underwent surgical menopause and was never told what would happen to her body afterward. That moment shaped his lifelong mission to treat women with comprehensive, individualized care—not cookie-cutter patches or “blind firing” estrogen without context. In this episode, he explains:

Women are generally told that if they have a breast cancer diagnosis, they should steer clear of estrogen. In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Swati Kulkarni, the lead investigator of a new study in which women with a newly diagnosed breast ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS, were given a month's worth of hormone therapy before standard treatment to see the impact it would have on developing cancer cells. What DCIS is and how it is typically diagnosed. If DCIS is considered to be a pre-cancer or a cancer If DCIS is untreated, how often it will progress to invasive cancer If treated, how often women with DCIS go on to develop invasive cancer? Why this particular form of hormone therapy, conjugated estrogens and bazodoxifene (Duovee™) was used in the study The details of the study The results of the study The Promise Study: A presurgical randomized clinical trial of CE/BZA vs placebo in postmenopausal women with ductal carcinoma in situ.

Coaching and programming from Justin, Amanda, and William can be found here - https://highcallingfitness.com/ Summary In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coach Justin, Coach Amanda, and Coach Bill engage in a comprehensive discussion about hormone replacement therapy, particularly testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). They explore the importance of understanding individual health needs, the benefits of TRT on mental clarity and mood, and the significance of a holistic approach to health that includes diet and training. The conversation also touches on personal training updates, health challenges, and the impact of hormones on relationships and overall well-being. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of testosterone therapy, discussing the variability of optimal testosterone levels among individuals, the morality surrounding hormone replacement therapy, and the role of SHBG in treatment protocols. They emphasize the importance of individualized approaches to therapy, the limitations of current medical practices, and the fallacies of correlation and causation in medical research. The discussion also touches on the risks associated with PCT and the challenges of understanding medical knowledge in a nuanced way. Takeaways TRT can benefit those who are doing everything right but still feel off. Mental clarity and mood improvements are significant benefits of TRT. It's important to consider individual needs and not just follow standard protocols. Hormones play a crucial role in both physical and mental health. Trialing TRT can lead to positive lifestyle changes and improvements. The concept of optimization is more beneficial than therapy in hormone discussions. Normal ranges in blood work may not reflect optimal health. A holistic approach to health includes diet, training, and hormone levels. Testosterone can have profound effects on relationships and personal well-being. Understanding the nuances of hormone levels is essential for effective treatment. Optimal testosterone levels vary for each individual. The morality of TRT is a complex issue. SHBG levels should not dictate treatment protocols. Individualized treatment is crucial for effective therapy. Clomid is not a suitable alternative to testosterone. PCT may not be necessary for everyone. Oral testosterone has significant limitations. Inductive reasoning can lead to medical fallacies. Correlation does not imply causation in medical studies. Understanding medical knowledge requires humility and caution.
In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright sits down with Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OBGYN, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and 23-year breast cancer survivor who brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to the menopause conversation. A BRCA carrier and surgical menopause patient, Dr. Menn is a fierce advocate for women navigating cancer risk, premature menopause, and hormone health. Together, they unpack the major gaps in menopause care—from the underuse of hormone therapy (only 4–5% of women use it) to the widespread misinformation among healthcare providers. Dr. Menn sheds light on how women with conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, or hereditary cancer risk are often excluded from mainstream menopause discussions and left without support. She explains why many cancer survivors can safely use hormone therapy under updated guidelines and why progesterone is still needed even after hysterectomy if endometriosis was present. This powerful conversation is a must-listen for anyone impacted by surgical or early menopause, and those advocating for more compassionate, informed, and personalized care. ••• Connect with Dr. Corinne Menn: Instagram: @drmennobgyn TikTok: @drmennobgyn Website: www.drmenn.com Alloy Website: www.myalloy.com ••• Make sure to follow Dr. Vonda Wright: Instagram: @drvondawright Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@vondawright Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drvondawright LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonda-wright-md-ms-2803374 Website: http://www.DrVondaWright.com ••• If you enjoyed this episode, Subscribe to “HOT For Your Health” for more inspiring episodes.

What if I told you that the question itself – hormones or nervous system – is missing the point entirely? A recent post by Dr. Bradley Campbell sparked something in me that I had to address, because it touches on one of the most important conversations we're not having about perimenopause. The conversation about how everything in your body is interconnected, and why the either/or approach to women's health is keeping us stuck. If you're navigating perimenopause and feeling like you're caught between conflicting advice – hormone therapy versus lifestyle changes, medical intervention versus natural approaches, your symptoms being "all in your head" versus them being completely out of your control – this episode will help you find your way through the noise. I'm sharing my clinical experience working with hundreds of women, my own personal journey with hormonal shifts, and what I've learned about the delicate dance between our hormones, nervous system, and the choices we make every single day. What we'll explore together: Dr. Bradley Campbell's Post (01:11) The controversial perspective that started this conversation and why it matters for every woman in perimenopause Clinical Experience (02:22) What I've witnessed in practice – the real stories of women whose lives transformed when we addressed the whole picture, not just isolated symptoms Empowerment and Responsibility (05:02) The difference between taking responsibility for your health and being blamed for your symptoms – and why this distinction changes everything Truth Behind Hormonal Symptoms (06:50) Your body is always giving you signals – what your symptoms are actually telling you and why dismissing them (or over-medicalizing them) both miss the mark Personal Resilience and Lifestyle Choices (17:18) How building resilience isn't about perfection – it's about partnering with your body through sustainable, compassionate choices Stress and Women's Health (18:41) The invisible load that's wreaking havoc on your hormones and why addressing stress isn't just about bubble baths and meditation Hormone Therapy vs. Lifestyle Management (32:40) Why this isn't an either/or conversation – it's about finding what works for YOUR unique body and circumstances Here's what I want you to know: It's all connected. Your hormones don't exist in isolation from your nervous system, your stress levels, your sleep, your relationships, or your daily choices. And neither do you. You deserve more than being caught between extremes. You deserve nuanced, compassionate care that sees all of you – and that starts with understanding how beautifully complex your body truly is.

If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You're not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace personal medical advice.* ...

Women go on hormone therapy to manage peri/menopause symptoms and feel better. But sometimes to their surprise, they feel worse. Or some symptoms go away while others pop up. That's because of the hormones! We have hormone receptors all over our body and whenever we switch up the signals they're receiving, whether through the menopause transition itself or through the hormones we use, they're going to respond to those changes, and sometimes not in the way we want. Most side effects are manageable with time or by dialing in delivery methods and/or doses. It's just important to know what to expect. We talk all about it this week with our resident menopause specialist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine. She is also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and member of CrossFit Health. She is a MedFit Care provider and provides weekly workouts and medical updates at her Substack Athletic Aging. She is an Endocrine Consultant for Wild Health. Most recently, she has launched her own private practice specializing in helping active and high-performing women reach their performance potential from puberty through menopause. Dr. DiGirolamo is now seeing patients for virtual consultations for menopausal care and performance optimization.
