Podcasts about Hormone therapy

A Note from James:In the first two episodes with Dr. Nicole McNichols, we talked about chemistry, communication, anatomy, and the science of pleasure. This final episode is really about something deeper—how relationships evolve over time and what actually keeps desire alive.Because the truth is, long-term relationships don't stay exciting automatically. They require intention. They require curiosity. And sometimes the issue isn't your partner at all—it's that you've stopped doing things that light you up in your own life.We also talk about novelty, sex toys, aging, hormones, communication, and why pleasure itself is not optional for wellbeing—it's essential.This conversation tied everything together for me.Episode Description:How do couples keep desire alive years—or decades—into a relationship?In the final part of this series, Dr. Nicole McNichols explains why long-term passion isn't about constant novelty or dramatic reinvention. It's about intentional connection, personal growth, communication, and maintaining a sense of play.They discuss the “seven-year itch,” why boredom often comes from losing personal passion rather than losing attraction, and how seeing your partner energized by their own interests can reignite desire. The conversation also explores sex toys as collaborative tools, the health benefits of sexual activity, aging and sexuality, hormone therapy, and practical ways to communicate about sex without embarrassment.The episode closes with a powerful reminder: pleasure is not a luxury—it's a core component of wellbeing.What You'll Learn:Why boredom in relationships is often about your own life—not your partnerHow pursuing individual passions can increase attraction in long-term couplesWhy sex toys enhance connection rather than threaten itThe physical and psychological health benefits of sexual activityHow curiosity, humor, and vulnerability improve sexual communicationTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] Pleasure, Playfulness & Why Attraction Fades[00:03:28] The Seven-Year Itch & Long-Term Desire[00:04:00] Intention, Communication & Intimacy Dates[00:04:45] When Boredom Is About Your Own Life[00:05:25] Personal Passion & Seeing Your Partner Differently[00:06:11] The Best Sex of Your Life After Kids[00:08:16] Novelty Without Threatening the Relationship[00:09:24] Erotic Identity & Emotional Needs[00:11:00] Frequency of Novelty & Sexual Compatibility[00:11:21] Men Feeling Threatened by Novelty[00:11:42] Sex Toys as Collaborative Tools[00:13:26] The Pleasure Cycle: Wanting, Liking, Learning[00:14:12] Sex, Stress Reduction & Sleep[00:15:23] Health Benefits of Sex[00:16:08] Pleasure as Essential Wellbeing[00:19:00] Is Sex the Most Enjoyable Activity?[00:20:00] Presence, Mindfulness & Happiness Research[00:21:39] Sex and Meditation[00:22:00] Sex in Your 80s & Aging[00:23:22] Loneliness, Health & Sexual Function[00:24:25] Erectile Dysfunction & Physical Health[00:25:00] Menopause, Hormones & Sexual Pain[00:26:23] Hormone Therapy & Medical Guidance[00:27:35] Communication as the Core Skill[00:28:35] Leading With Curiosity[00:29:56] Humor, Playfulness & Awkward Conversations[00:31:08] Closing ThoughtsAdditional Resources:You Could Be Having Better SexNicole McNicholsDaniel Gilbert — Happiness research referencedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For years, hormone replacement therapy has been clouded by fear, outdated research, and confusing messaging.But the landscape has shifted.In this episode of The Balanced Body Podcast, I'm joined by Elise Schroeder, a naturopathic doctor with over 20 years of experience helping women balance their hormones and feel vital at every stage of life.We're breaking down:• What the Black Box warning on HRT actually meant — and why its removal matters • The biggest myths still circulating about hormone therapy • Why HRT shouldn't be viewed as a “last resort” • How hormone therapy may play a role in preventing osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease • Why perimenopause may be the most important window for interventionIf you're in your late 30s or 40s and noticing changes in your energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, or cycle, this episode will help you understand what's happening and what your options truly are.Hormones influence far more than hot flashes. They impact your brain, bones, heart, metabolism, and long-term vitality. The right information changes everything. 

In this clip from Bathroom Diaries, Dr. Sofia Din and Dr. Rob Frankel break down one of the most common mistakes people make with peptides: thinking one peptide can fix everything. Using a simple and hilarious analogy — "asking for one peptide is like going to a tire shop and buying just one tire" — they explain why peptides work best as a system, not a single quick fix. If you're curious about how peptides actually work, which combinations make sense, and why personalized protocols matter, this highlight is a must-watch.

Do you feel like the gap between you and your partner's sexual desire is widening?Has managing a home, raising kids, and building a career left you feeling disconnected from your body and from sexual pleasure?You are not broken. And you are not alone.In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles, board-certified OB/GYN, founder of Women's Healthcare of Princeton, nationally recognized menopause expert, and author of The Bedroom Gap. With over 1.2 million views on her viral TED Talk, “What Happens to Sex in Midlife,” Dr. Sophocles is leading the conversation on female sexual health, perimenopause, and closing the intimacy gap in long-term and short-term relationships.Together, we pull back the curtain on sexual health, menopause wellness, hormone therapy, vaginal health, and the cultural silence that has left so many women believing they've simply “outgrown” desire. You haven't. Midlife intimacy is possible when you understand what your body actually needs.When you realize that menopause wellness is about restoring what your body is missing (not pushing through discomfort), you can release the guilt and choose real support.In this episode, we explore:Vaginal health and vaginal estrogen: how targeted treatments restore comfort, and support long and short-term relationship intimacyThe truth about perimenopause and heart health and how estrogen therapy may help in early menopauseWhy Viagra widened the “bedroom gap” and what couples can do about itBioidentical hormone therapy and menopause relief: what's evidence-based, what's marketing, and what actually works3 practical ways to reduce painful intercourseSexual dysfunction in women: causes, solutions, and when to seek supportWhat current science says about hormone therapy so you can make informed decisionsThe connection between intimacy, longevity, and overall post menopausal healthYou were never meant to outgrow sexual desire, you were taught to deprioritize it.Your physical comfort matters. Your pleasure matters. And this next chapter of life can include confidence, connection, and vibrant intimacy.If you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, low libido, painful sex, or relationship disconnection, this conversation will give you clarity, science-backed guidance, and hope.Tune in to reclaim your anatomy, close the bedroom gap, and embrace midlife with confidence and heart.Much love,LaurieClick here to listen to Dr. Maria Sophocles first podcast interveiwClick here to learn about my NEW “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExercisePlease leave me feedback.

In part two of our menopause series, we unpack common myths and misinformation about perimenopause, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy. Many women are treated in fragments – this episode brings the conversation back into the exam room with practical, patient-centered guidance. We continue our conversation with Sharon Malone, MD, board-certified OB-GYN and chief medical advisor for Alloy Women’s Health, on how perimenopause is diagnosed clinically (often without definitive lab tests), which symptoms should raise red flags, and why HRT is never a one-size-fits-all yes-or-no decision.

In this episode, we delve into the complex and often misunderstood topic of menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We explore the nuances of menopause and perimenopause, the evolving conversations around it, and the physical and emotional challenges women face during this natural transition. We discuss the controversial history of HRT, including the flawed Women's Health Initiative and Million Women Study that led to a drastic reduction in HRT prescriptions. We also touch on the recent removal of the black box warning on HRT products in the US and what this means for women considering these therapies. The importance of distinguishing between synthetic progestins and bioidentical hormones is emphasized, alongside the need for personalized, holistic approaches to manage menopausal symptoms. We invite you to contemplate the potential gifts of menopause and advocate for a balance between natural health practices and medical interventions. Join us for an in-depth, nuanced conversation that aims to empower women navigating this significant life stage.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction and Theme Song Confusion01:13 Welcoming the Audience03:21 Introducing the Topic: Menopause and HRT07:09 Understanding Menopause and Perimenopause09:45 Factors Influencing Perimenopause Experience12:22 Emotional and Mental Health During Menopause16:33 Hormone Replacement Therapy: Historical Context18:20 Critique of Past Studies on HRT23:28 Misunderstandings and Misuse of HRT27:58 Black Box Warning on HRT Removed28:40 Impact of Black Box Warning on Prescriptions29:40 Personal Stories and Experiences with HRT30:38 Exploring the Safety and Dosage of HRT31:26 Natural vs. Pharmaceutical Approaches33:21 Advocating for Women's Health and Natural Cycles42:11 Marketing and Pharmaceutical Influence46:54 The Role of Menopausal Women in Society49:20 Conclusion and Final Thoughts~Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths⁠⁠ ⁠here⁠⁠⁠!

In 2025, the U.S. FDA removed the “black box” warnings from menopausal hormone therapy products – but what does that actually mean for patients? For decades, many women have navigated perimenopause and menopause with limited information, few effective options, and little validation of their symptoms. In part one of this two-part series, we speak with Sharon Malone, MD, board-certified OB-GYN and chief medical advisor for Alloy Women’s Health, about what happens during the menopausal transition, why symptoms can feel chaotic and unpredictable, and how misinterpretations of past research have shaped – and often restricted – women’s care.

The truth about hormone replacement therapy, birth control, and cardiovascular risk.

In this solo episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons answers the exact questions women ask her every day about breast cancer risk, hormone therapy, aromatase inhibitors, and screening. She breaks down the difference between bioidentical and non-bioidentical hormones, what “high risk” actually means, why fear-based medicine keeps women stuck, and how to build a screening and prevention plan you understand and trust.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Shepard, board-certified OB/GYN and Chief Medical Officer of Hers, shares that the FDA just removed the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy after 23 years. We discuss what actually happened with the WHI study that created all the fear around estrogen and breast cancer, and why the research never actually supported that narrative.Dr. Shepard explains why you shouldn't wait until menopause to start the HRT conversation and how starting in your perimenopausal years can make all the difference for long-term health. Dr. Shepard shares the essential labs she runs on patients including ApoB, HbA1c, and thyroid optimization, plus the longevity metrics women should be tracking.We also get into supplement recommendations including why she recommends 10 grams of creatine daily, the role of inflammation in aging, and how estrogen is naturally anti-inflammatory which is why women see increased cardiovascular risk and metabolic dysfunction after menopause.Kayla's social + website:Instagram:  kaylabarnesTikTok:  femalelongevityTwitter: https://x.com/femalelongevityWebsite: https://www.kaylabarnes.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OLWWn2...Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Follow Her Female Protocol: https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.comDr. Jessica Shepherd's social + website:Website: https://www.jessicashepherdmd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessicashepherdmd/Transform Your Health: https://eudemonia.net/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=kayla-podcast&utm_campaign=jessica-shepherd

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryYour body isn't a mystery box—and “that's normal” is not a medical plan.In this episode, we sit down with Tierra Duncan, Air Force veteran, women's health educator, and author of The Birth Control Illusion, for a straight-talk conversation about what so many women were never taught: how our cycles actually work, what birth control really does, why endometriosis is often misunderstood, and what's happening during the hormonal shift of perimenopause.With clear language and zero fear-mongering, Tierra breaks down estrogen, progesterone, and ovulation—and shows how understanding them can turn confusing symptoms into actionable information. We trace her journey from the flight line to health advocacy, and explore how military culture's “mission first” mindset often trains women to ignore pain, fatigue, and mood changes as background noise.Tierra explains why the pill's “withdrawal bleed” isn't a true period, how synthetic hormones differ from bioidentical options, and what informed consent in women's healthcare should actually look like. We also dig into endometriosis as a full-body condition, the role of prostaglandins in pain, and why symptom severity doesn't always show up on scans.Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, this conversation focuses on building a strong foundation—sleep quality, strength training, adequate protein and fiber, and stress boundaries—so you can decide if labs, hormone therapy, or other interventions belong in your plan.If hot flashes, brain fog, low libido, or cycle chaos have you wondering where to start, this episode gives you a practical checklist for smarter care: track your symptoms, clarify your goals, and walk into appointments with better questions and better language. You'll leave reminded that clarity is power—and that feeling vibrant at every stage of life is not too much to ask.Find Tierra's resources and book details in the show notes.

Send us a textFor decades, women were told that hormone replacement therapy was dangerous — largely due to a deeply flawed study that created fear, confusion, and misinformation around female hormones. In a long-overdue move, the FDA has now removed the black box warning on hormone therapy for women, signaling a shift back toward science.In this episode, Dr. Greg Dennis breaks down why the warning existed in the first place, what went wrong with the original research, and why properly prescribed hormone replacement therapy is one of the most powerful tools for women's long-term health and quality of life. We discuss the benefits of starting HRT early, why choosing the right provider matters, and the pros and cons of today's treatment options — including pellets, creams, injections, and patches.This is an honest, science-based conversation about why female hormone replacement therapy deserves a second look — and why it may be one of the best decisions a woman can make for her health.

Episode Summary: In this energizing episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris Voss delves into the intricacies of hormone replacement therapy with Ryan Root, CEO of HormonesForMe.com. With a remarkable 20 years of experience, Ryan sheds light on the critical role hormones like testosterone play in maintaining health and vitality, regardless of age or gender. Through engaging discussions, the episode demystifies the stigma surrounding testosterone therapy and emphasizes the groundbreaking benefits of achieving hormonal balance. With keywords like “testosterone replacement therapy,” “hormonal balance,” and “HRT benefits,” the episode provides insightful perspective on how environmental toxins and lifestyle factors affect our hormonal levels. Ryan elucidates why maintaining optimal hormone levels can significantly enhance life quality, improve energy, and even extend lifespan. He challenges the misconceptions present in mainstream medical narratives and advocates for personalized, data-driven approaches to hormone therapy, emphasizing the importance of informed and preventative healthcare. Key Takeaways: Hormones such as testosterone are crucial for both men and women and play a vital role in overall health and quality of life. Environmental toxins significantly lower hormone levels, making hormone replacement therapy essential for many individuals. Evidence debunking common myths about testosterone therapy shows it can reduce risks of cardiovascular diseases and improve mental well-being. Personalized hormone therapy, supported by comprehensive blood work and genetic testing, is key to achieving optimal health outcomes. Holistic approaches that include lifestyle changes, like exercise and nutrition counseling, enhance the benefits of hormone therapy. Notable Quotes: “Testosterone, SDI, and progesterone are some of the most beneficial medications in the history of medications.” – Ryan Root “The range is completely arbitrary. It’s rooted in nothing real.” – Ryan Root “Everybody is very unique. We have customized protocols.” – Ryan Root “It’s about developing a methodology to figure out what yields the best results for each individual.” – Ryan Root “When couples do HRT together, you should do it together.” – Ryan Root

Think testosterone is just a male hormone? Think again. In this game-changing conversation, Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, debunks a major myth in women's health. Spoiler alert: women have more testosterone than estrogen, and when those levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, it affects more than just libido. Brain fog, disrupted sleep, stubborn belly fat, and a feeling of losing strength and vitality are common symptoms. While men have had access to testosterone therapy for decades, women have been left in the dark until now. Shalin explains the importance of testosterone for various bodily functions, debunks myths that prevent proper treatment, and shares the revolutionary science behind the first effective oral testosterone therapy that aligns with the body's natural rhythms.Episodes Overview (timestamps are approximate):(0:00) Intro/Teaser(3:00) Understanding Testosterone in Men and Women(6:00) Clinical Signs and Symptoms of Low Testosterone(11:00) Testing and Diagnosing Testosterone Levels(13:00) Challenges in Hormone Therapy for Women(21:00) Environmental and Lifestyle Factors Affecting Testosterone(23:00) Increasing Natural Testosterone Levels(30:00) Modes of Testosterone Delivery(35:00) Female Hormone Therapy: Standardized Dosing(39:00) Debunking Myths About Testosterone(44:00) Dosage and Monitoring for Testosterone Therapy(51:00) Challenges in Accessing Hormone Therapy(54:00) Global Availability and Future of Oral Testosterone(58:00) The After-Party with Dr. StephanieResources mentioned in this episode can be found at: https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep451/We couldn't do it without our sponsors:TIMELINE - A new year means a new gym membership - but you can't out-train low energy; it starts deeper than that.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has become one of the most misunderstood, and controversial, topics in women's health. In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone takes a deep dive into how we got here and why so much of what women have been told about hormones simply doesn't hold up. Dr. Tassone unpacks the complicated history of HRT, including the lasting fallout from the Women's Health Initiative study and how its misinterpretation shaped decades of fear-based medical decision-making. He addresses persistent myths linking estrogen to breast cancer, challenges outdated assumptions, and explains why hormones were never the villain they were made out to be. This conversation goes beyond the science. Dr. Tassone also critiques the modern hormone industry, calling out profit-driven practices, poor education, and the ongoing failure of the medical system to prioritize women's long-term health. At its core, this episode is a call for clarity, context, and compassion — because women deserve better than fear, confusion, and half-truths when it comes to their bodies. Episode Highlights: Why hormones remain one of the most misunderstood topics in medicine How the Women's Health Initiative study dramatically altered HRT prescribing and why it still matters The truth about estrogen and its potential protective role against certain cancers How HRT supports bone health, cardiovascular health, and overall quality of life The historical underrepresentation of women in medical research and healthcare decision-making Why fear — not evidence — has driven much of the anti-HRT narrative How misinformation continues to influence both patients and providers Why women deserve informed and individualized hormone care Episode Resources: Dr. Tassone's Free Women's Health Journal Club | Dr. T's Evidence Edit 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.

“It takes more than hormones to fix our hormones.” - Dr. Anna CabecaWhen it comes to vaginal health, pelvic floor health, and incontinence issues, hormones play a critial role. From the type of hormones to oral formulations, injections, and topicals, there are a lot of options for hormone therapy, from the delivery vehicle to the forms of hormones used.At the same time, you can't optimize hormone health through hormone replacement only. We have to take a holistic picture, starting with the gut, lifestyle, and stress management. This approach enables the body to resuscitate, repair, and rejuvenate itself, allowing it to function at its peak. At this point, hormone therapy can offer a complementary supporting role, increasing the opportunity for optimal health and wellness.Today's guest, triple board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Anna Cabeca, has been working with women in midlife for decades, and she's an advocate for a holistic approach to hormone support, which she calls hormone replenishment.In this episode, Dr. Anna and I discuss when to start thinking about supporting your hormones, the connection between gut health and hormone balance, the need for personalized treatment appraoches, detoxification pathways, and the use of topical hormones, Dr. Cabeca's products for women in midlife, how her patients have improved their vaginal health and reversed incontinence in post-menopause, 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/getting-nerdy-about-hormones-topical-transdermal-oral-oh-my-with-dr-anna-cabeca-do/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

Standard blood work might tell you everything looks “normal,” while your hormones are actually in post-menopausal free fall. In this episode, I'll walk you through my wife Sage's hormone test results on the whiteboard, exposing the hormonal ratios blood tests miss, estradiol being 100x more potent than other estrogens, and why hormone therapy is the only approach that actually works. This episode is essential viewing for couples navigating the hormonal minefield together, complete with the exact protocols that brought Sage back to herself.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARYS VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg See Sage's Exact Lab Panel for Precision Health: https://bit.ly/3L1kE3m  Get Tested with the 10x Female Blood Hormone Panel: https://bit.ly/48TL66N  Connect with Sage Workinger-Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/44sN390 Thank you to our partners H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP: JOIN AND GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn CARAWAY: “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S RHO NUTRITION: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 Intro of Show 02:11 Sage and Gary's Menopausal Journey 05:16 Effects of Menopause (Frozen Shoulder, Brain Fog, Exhaustion) 12:31 Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy 19:18 Results of Sage's Dutch and Wellness Tests 23:58 Link of Catecholamines and Anxiety 27:37 Sage's Dutch Test Results in Visual 43:42 Debunking of the Hormone Therapy and Breast Cancer Connection Study: https://bit.ly/4quZqdt 51:17 Effects after the Hormone Therapy 54:05 Timing of Hormones: https://bit.ly/48UF9Xw 57:49 Other Recommendations from Sage's Health Journey 1:07:15 Connect with Sage 1:08:03 What does it mean to you to be an Ultimate Human?

Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has been a hot topic, especially as the FDA removed menopause hormone therapy black box warning this month (November, 2025). To better understand how MHT can benefit women's health, tune into this enlightening conversation with JAAPA authors Ashley Church and Megan Biagi and JAAPA OBGYN Department Editor Alannah Zheng.   Note, our guests gave a fantastic overview of MHT - to learn more check out their article at: https://journals.lww.com/jaapa/abstract/2025/07000/menopausal_hormone_therapy__making_sense_of.3.aspx   Contributors: Ashley Church Credentials: MPAS, PA-C Job Title: Physician Associate  Primary Employer: Western Sierra Medical Clinic  City, ST: Grass Valley, CA   Megan Biagi Credentials: MPAS, PA-C, CHSE Job Title: Associate Professor Primary Employer: University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine City, ST: Reno, NV   Alannah Zheng Alannah Zheng, MSPA, PA-C, CLC Job Title: Physician Assistant Primary Employer: Allina Health City, ST: St. Paul, MN

Last month the Food and Drug Administration announced that it would remove its warning on hormone-based products used to treat menopause symptoms.  As women age, most will experience changes linked to the stop of their monthly menses, including hot flashes, bone density loss and sleep problems. But in the past two decades a strong “black-box warning” has scared many women off from seeking relief in hormone creams, patches, pills and other treatments. The warning was added following a landmark study that linked hormone therapy to an increased risk for cancer and cardiovascular problems. Now the FDA says the risks were overblown for most women. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks about the FDA's change, the risks and benefits of hormone therapy and what women should consider as they decide whether to try it. Guest: Dr. Jissy Cyriac is a primary care physician trained in internal medicine. She sees patients at the Menopause and Women's Sexual Health Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Rochester and is also a certified practitioner through The Menopause Society.  

Send us a textHot flashes don't keep a schedule, and neither do lab numbers. We sit down with Dr. Rachel Novik of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Specialized Women's Health to cut through the noise around perimenopause, menopause, and hormone testing—and focus on what actually helps you feel like yourself again.We talk about why the most reliable “diagnosis” of menopause is still 12 months without a period, and when lab work like estradiol and FSH can be helpful for patients with hormonal IUDs or after hysterectomy. She breaks down common myths about the Dutch test and other urine hormone panels, explains why major medical societies don't endorse them for menopause, and shows how chasing unvalidated numbers can drive unnecessary supplements and costs without improving outcomes.If you're overwhelmed by conflicting advice on “balancing hormones,” this episode offers a calmer path: collaborate with a clinician, align on goals, and judge success by how you feel, not a single number.Support the show

The FDA is planning to remove the “black box” warning from many hormone treatments for menopause -- a major shift that could change care for millions of women in this country. On this week's Paging Dr. Gupta, we break down what who this treatment could help and what you still need to know about its risks.  This episode was produced by Jennifer Lai with assistance from Kyra Dahring and Leying Tang.   Showrunner: Amanda Sealy  Senior Producer: Dan Bloom  Technical Director: Dan Dzula  Executive Producer: Steve Lickteig Learn more about your ad choices.

We've been taught that "good women" keep up with their Pap smears, mammograms, and hormone therapy. But what if those routines (sold as prevention) are actually creating stress in the body's terrain? In this episode, I break down how each of these pillars of women's healthcare functions on a biological level, what they miss, and how to reclaim your health sequence: drainage before detection, regulation before replacement, resilience before results. This is prevention through sovereignty, not compliance.   Hosted by Leanne Vogel.   Coaching and other supports available at: https://shop.healthfulpursuit.com/    Podcast Sponsors, links and offers available at: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/podcast/  Bioactive Peptides: https://www.healthfulpursuit.com/make

The FDA is removing the black box warning on estrogen therapy after two decades. Should it?Women who want to use estrogen to treat menopause symptoms often face a difficult choice.That's because those hormone treatments contain a “black-box warning.”The Food and Drug Administration uses black box warnings to indicate a medication has potentially life threatening side effects.In the case of estrogen for menopause symptoms, an increased risk of endometrial cancer, cardiovascular disorders, dementia and breast cancer.Well those warnings are going away.  For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Mia Venkat and Erika Ryan.
