214: In this episode, I'm diving into all things histamine—what it is, how it functions, and why it might be the missing link in your hormone and immune health journey. After sharing insights on the connection between histamine sensitivity and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the response was massive.  I'm unpacking why histamine issues are more than just food reactions, how they relate to estrogen, menopause, and chronic inflammation, and why there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I've dealt with histamine challenges my whole life and supported countless patients through it.  This episode is a deep, honest look at the bigger picture behind histamine imbalance. Topics Discussed:  What are the symptoms of histamine intolerance and how is it connected to hormone imbalances? How does histamine affect estrogen levels and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? What causes high histamine levels and how can you support balance naturally? What is the difference between histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)? How do lifestyle factors, diet, and gut health influence histamine sensitivity? Sponsored By: Nutrisense | Head over to nutrisense.io/drtyna to get 30% off your Nutrisense plan.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the relationship between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and cancer risk, particularly focusing on estrogen and progesterone. He reviews recent literature, including a 2025 paper that raises concerns about micronized progesterone and progestins. Dr. Doug emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between these two forms of progesterone and presents various studies, including the Women's Health Initiative and the PEPI trial, to analyze their implications on cancer risk. He concludes that while there are risks associated with HRT, micronized progesterone does not appear to significantly increase breast cancer risk, advocating for a careful risk-benefit analysis in treatment decisions.*STUDIES*https://www.annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-7534(24)04880-4/fulltexthttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24781971/https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/395611https://academic.oup.com/jnci/article-abstract/95/1/30/2520191?redirectedFrom=fulltexthttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/cmt.5.4.332.340

Howard and Antonia explore the evidence behind pit breaks in labor, cannabis use in pregnancy, and IUD options for hormone replacement therapy.• Pit breaks in labor lack substantial evidence of benefit when used in active labor• Current research suggests stopping oxytocin during active labor may slightly increase cesarean rates rather than decrease them• Long pit breaks (up to 8 hours) in latent labor may be beneficial by allowing rest and promoting patience• Recent systematic review shows prenatal cannabis use increases risk of low birth weight by 75%, preterm birth by 50%, and perinatal mortality by 29%• Cannabis use during pregnancy (7.2% of pregnant women) now exceeds tobacco use• Retrospective studies on doula care show association with better outcomes, but can't establish causation due to inherent differences in patients who seek doulas• 52mg levonorgestrel IUDs (Mirena/Liletta) are suitable for endometrial protection during HRT, but evidence only supports use up to 5 years• Most systematic reviews combine heterogeneous studies and shouldn't be considered level 1 evidenceWe'd love to hear your questions!

After a small hiatus we're back and picking up where we left off!  In this episode of Menopause Management, Dr. Barbara Taylor dives deep into one of the most debated questions in women's health: do estrogen and progestogen, when taken together, cause breast cancer? Drawing on decades of research and a nuanced understanding of hormonal health, Dr. Taylor explores the role of natural hormones, menstrual history, pregnancy, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). She dispels common myths, explains the impact of cyclic vs. continuous regimens, and emphasizes that fluctuating hormone cycles—not hormones themselves—are the real concern. This episode is part of an in-depth series on breast cancer, designed to empower you with facts, not fear. Visual learner?

If you are over the age of 35 or within a few years of 35, this episode is for you! Dr. Stephanie Cowie is back on the podcast today for a deep-dive conversation on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and its powerful connection to women's mental health, aging, and overall wellness during perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, we unpack the difference between BHRT and synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and why that distinction really matters. We also discuss the major gap in traditional medical training when it comes to supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, and how that impacts the kind of care many women receive. Hormonal shifts can begin as early as age 35, with symptoms often peaking in the late 30s to early 50s. Dr. Cowie emphasizes the importance of starting BHRT at the right time, and breaks down what to expect from a thorough intake, lab testing, and symptom monitoring process when exploring your options. I hope this conversation empowers you to feel more informed, supported, and hopeful as you move through perimenopause and postmenopause.
