In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone examines a paradigm-shifting study from the Journal of the North American Menopause Society that demolishes decades of unfounded hysteria surrounding hormone replacement therapy for women over 65. The research reveals that HRT—specifically estrogen therapy—administered beyond age 65 correlates with significant risk reductions across multiple disease categories: mortality, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, congestive heart failure, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and dementia. The findings underscore the critical importance of precision medicine approaches utilizing individualized protocols, lower dosing strategies, and non-oral delivery methods for optimal clinical outcomes. Episode Highlights The NAMS study that's rewriting the hormone therapy playbook for women over 65 Quantifiable risk reductions across nine major disease categories, including the holy grail of mortality reduction Why the data on breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer risk reduction should make us question everything we thought we knew The cardiovascular benefits that contradict decades of clinical paranoia: reduced congestive heart failure, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, and heart attacks Dementia risk reduction—because apparently estrogen is neuroprotective, not neurotoxic The vindication of individualized hormone therapy protocols using lower doses and transdermal delivery Estrogen monotherapy combined with progesterone: the life-extending intervention hiding in plain sight How this research obliterates the arbitrary age-based cutoffs that have dominated clinical practice Why your patients over 65 deserve a risk-benefit analysis based on actual science, not medical mythology The clinical implications for practitioners ready to abandon fear-based prescribing in favor of evidence-based care Episode Resources Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health! The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits. Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective. For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension.

Thanks to voices like Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Stacy Sims, cold plunging has gotten a lot of attention over the last few years - but today I'm bringing you someone who goes even deeper. Dr. Thomas P. Seager is, in my opinion, one of the world's top experts on ice bathing. Not only did he use it to reverse his own chronic health conditions (conditions doctors couldn't explain, let alone treat), but he's also helped countless people use cold therapy to recover from debilitating and even terminal illnesses.In this episode, we explore how cold exposure impacts hormones, fertility, mitochondrial health, and so much more. I also share a bit about my own pregnancy and experience with cold plunging. Topics Discussed:→ Can cold plunge therapy improve hormone balance?→ Does ice bathing help with fertility and testosterone?→ How does cold exposure support mitochondrial health?→ Can chronic illness be reversed with cold therapy?Sponsored By:→ Black Lotus Shilajit | Visit: www.blacklotusshilajit.com and Use Code: SARAHK for 15% the entire site!→ Bon Charge | Click here & use code for SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. → Troscriptions | There's a completely new way to optimize your health.

‘I'm a journalist, and I'm always trying to make sense of stories... that's just how my brain works. But I've never been able to make sense of this one... the whole HRT story, the information women are given, and the choices we make based on information we're not entirely sure about. I've always felt that was just unsatisfactory. So that overview from you, I have found really, really interesting'. In this week's episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by broadcaster and journalist Kaye Adams — a familiar face from ITV's Loose Women and host of the How to Be 60 podcast — for a candid and deeply insightful conversation about navigating menopause in your sixties, the vital role of hormones, and the ongoing confusion around HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Drawing on her background in pathology and neurophysiology, Dr Louise unpacks decades of overlooked science showing how hormones like oestradiol, progesterone, and testosterone influence everything from brain function and inflammation to bone health and dementia risk. She explains how hormones deficiencies can create a perfect storm for disease, and why understanding their role at a cellular level is crucial for women's long-term health. Together, Dr Louise and Kaye address the persistent fears around breast cancer and HRT, revisiting data from the controversial WHI study. Dr Louise explains how misinterpretation and media panic have caused widespread confusion and lasting harm to women's health. Dr Louise also highlights the significant reductions in risks such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis that HRT can offer, questioning why compelling evidence is still often ignored by mainstream medicine. Kaye shares her personal reflections and doubts as a woman navigating healthcare in a landscape clouded by misinformation. Their discussion becomes a powerful call for clearer, evidence-based communication, encouraging women to feel empowered, not frightened, when considering treatment.

Feeling wiped out no matter how many iron supplements you take? You're not alone—and you're not crazy. In this episode, Tara breaks down the often-misunderstood world of iron, ferritin, and fatigue, revealing why the typical "take more iron" approach doesn't always work (and can even make you feel worse). She explains the key roles of iron transport, inflammation, and cofactors like copper and ceruloplasmin, and shares how low energy and poor lab results are often symptoms of a deeper imbalance—not a straightforward deficiency. If you've ever been told you're anemic, or your labs show low ferritin, this episode is a must-listen.   What We Cover in This Episode: Why low iron on labs doesn't always mean you need more iron The role of inflammation and gut health in iron absorption How minerals like copper, retinol (vitamin A), and magnesium support proper iron function The problems with relying on ferritin alone to assess iron status Why Tara rarely recommends iron supplements—and what she uses instead How excess iron can fuel oxidative stress, inflammation, and worsen symptoms What to test for instead (and how to get real answers about your energy and fatigue)   Mentioned in this episode: EQUIP PRIME PROTEIN – Click HERE to grab yours and use my code: TARA20 to get 20% off Purchase Herbatonin here and use Tara's discount code for 15% off, which is Tara15: https://symphonynaturalhealth.com/TaraHerbatonin PIQUE TEA – These are some of Tara's favourite teas! They're crystal form, which makes them super unique and easy to transport in your purse, (they come in single use satchels!) and higher in polyphenols. They're made from high quality ingredients with triple toxin screening, (super important when it comes to your tea). Click HERE to visit the shop.

We've both treated thousands of women and lived through it ourselves. The truth? Perimenopause doesn't begin in your 40's. It starts years earlier, and too many are left struggling without answers.If you've been told you're “too young” for perimenopause, you're not alone—and you're not too early. In this conversation with Dr. Fatima Khan, an Australian menopause specialist, we dig into what perimenopause really looks like and why so many women fall through the cracks of outdated definitions.Dr. Khan explains how progesterone and testosterone begin declining in our late 30s, long before estrogen crashes. The result? Fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and heavy bleeding symptoms often brushed off or misdiagnosed. We discuss how the stress of modern life, poor sleep, and constant cortisol spikes are pouring gasoline on an already intense hormonal fire.But this isn't just about hormones it's about support. From rethinking your exercise habits to building better boundaries and giving up the need to control everything (easier said than done), we talk about real-life tools that make this phase survivable and maybe even freeing.Whether you're a clinician or someone living through the chaos, this episode offers a new lens on the perimenopause transition one that goes far beyond HRT and into the heart of what women truly need.Highlights:Why current definitions of perimenopause don't reflect what women actually experience.The early symptoms no one talks about: anxiety, fatigue, and mood swings.The role of progesterone and testosterone before estrogen becomes the issue.How cortisol and chronic stress intensify hormonal symptoms.Practical tools for nervous system support and reclaiming your energy.If you found this episode helpful, make sure to subscribe, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, and share it with someone who might need it too.Get in Touch with Dr. Khan:WebsiteInstagram Get in Touch with Dr. Rahman:WebsiteInstagramYoutube

In this episode I'm going to help you answer the question: should I be starting hormone replacement therapy during peri or post menopause? Over the past 23 years, there has been a lot of fear about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The Women's Health Initiative originally reported a concern about breast cancer risk, and that led many women to avoid hormone replacement. A newly updated report from the same researchers has completely changed the perspective on hormone replacement. The researchers are now stating that HRT is not increasing breast cancer risk the way they once feared. Instead, HRT can actually decrease disease risk, including by decreasing heart disease, dementia, diabetes, and osteoporosis. That is such essential information, and such a shift in what we've been hearing, that I wanted to cover this topic in detail. Choosing hormone replacement therapy is a very individualized decision. It's important to understand and think through your medical history and your health risk factors. It's also important to work with a practitioner who understands the latest research. It is essential to individualize your doses and how hormones are delivered to your body (oral, cream, patch, etc). I'm going to cover how to find a practitioner who can guide you every step of the way. I'm here to help you!

Are you looking to manage your hormones but were told to wait until menopause? Do you feel you were ignored by your doctor when you asked about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), perimenopause, menopause, endometriosis, anxiety, depression, brain fog, weight gain, PCOS, or postpartum issues? We invited Dr. Sarah Daccarett, a top hormone expert and founder of Inner Balance to the podcast to give you some clarity and empowerment, because the decline of hormones starts much earlier than you think and most doctors are not hormone experts. The go-to answer for a myriad of symptoms has always been birth control. Birth control is NOT a hormone, and it's not HRT. It's a chemical and shouldn't be prescribed as a treatment. Dr. Daccarett is here to debunk estrogen dominance and explain why you don't need lab work for HRT, you need to be heard. And btw, HRT is safe in case you were scared by the media years ago. Hormones are a source of youth and beauty and wellbeing and they can be optimal no matter how old you are. Help is out there and HRT is your choice. You can have your cake and eat it too.

In this week's episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely sits down with Kim Casaburi, co-founder of Serotonin Centers, esthetician, and passionate menopause wellness advocate, for a powerful and empowering conversation about reclaiming midlife health through hormone optimization and functional medicine. After facing years of unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and emotional struggles, Kim shares how her search for answers led her to hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—a turning point after being dismissed by traditional medical professionals. She opens up about the medical gaslighting many women face and how she found her vitality again through functional, whole-body care. Kim also dives deep into the connection between hormones and skin health, sharing why aesthetic treatments like microneedling and HydraFacials fall short when hormones are out of balance—likening it to “pouring water into a bucket with a hole.” She explains why testosterone is not just for men and how it supports women's confidence, energy, and emotional resilience. Together, Dr. Lovely and Kim explore the need to shatter outdated medical narratives around menopause, embrace personalized care, and prioritize thriving—not just surviving—in midlife and beyond. What You'll Hear: Kim's personal journey through misdiagnosis and healing The overlooked impact of hormone imbalance on skin and vitality Testosterone: the misunderstood hormone women need too How Serotonin Centers blend HRT, aesthetics, and wellness coaching The stigma around menopause in conventional medicine Why hormone health is a cornerstone of longevity A call to action for women to own their needs and advocate for themselves You can learn more about Kim Casaburi and the services offered at Serotonin Centers by visiting www.serotonincenters.com.

Dr. Eti Ben Simon returns for yet another AMA episode, this time specifically focussing on sleep and women. Together, they delve into the nuanced differences in sleep patterns between men and women, exploring aspects like sleep duration, quality, and architecture, including variations in deep sleep and REM sleep. They discuss how females generally sleep slightly longer, experience fewer awakenings, and have more deep sleep early in the night, alongside a quicker onset of REM sleep. The conversation also touches upon the potential health risks associated with shift work, particularly night shifts, highlighting an observed associational link with increased risks for certain cancers, such as breast and skin cancer, though emphasizing this is not necessarily causal.The discussion then transitions to the profound impact of hormonal changes on female sleep throughout different life stages. Matt and Eti examine the common sleep disturbances during pregnancy, detailing the reasons such as physical discomfort, hormonal shifts, and frequent urination, and the consequences like mood disorders and increased risk of gestational diabetes. They further explore how sleep is affected by the menstrual cycle, with changes in REM and deep sleep across follicular and luteal phases, and then tackle the significant sleep challenges during menopause, including insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome, discussing management strategies like HRT and CBT-I.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Tired of untrustworthy protein shakes?

Chances are, it's already happening, and nobody handed you a guidebook.In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Cathleen Brown, Medical Director at Winona, to finally demystify perimenopause and menopause. We're bringing this conversation to our audience because so many people on a GLP-1 journey are also navigating hormonal shifts. Whether it's perimenopause, menopause, or just the hormonal chaos of midlife, these changes can impact everything—from weight and sleep to mood and metabolism.We're here to break it all down.From night sweats and mood swings to insulin resistance and hormone shifts, we cover it all with real talk and science-backed solutions. Dr. Brown walks us through the current landscape of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and even Osphena. She also addresses the past fears about HRT—strokes, heart attacks, cancer—and how updated research is changing the conversation around safety, longevity, and quality of life.We also explore the role of GLP-1 medications in the menopause space, especially for those with PCOS, insulin resistance, or other metabolic challenges. Could these meds be part of a modern menopause toolkit? Dr. Brown shares her perspective.And yes, we get personal too. As Winona patients ourselves, we're sharing what's worked, what hasn't, and what questions we had going in—so you don't have to figure it all out alone.What you'll hear in this episode:What perimenopause and menopause actually are (and why it matters)Why hormone disruptions are common during the GLP-1 journeyGLP-1s and menopause: emerging research and real-world useHRT today: what's changed, what's safer, and what's workingTestosterone, Osphena, and how to treat painful sexHabiSend us Fan Mail!

In episode 212 of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch welcomes Dr. Julian Gershon Jr., a triple board-certified physician in family medicine, sports medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Gershon is the author of Beyond the Fountain of Youth, a compelling guide to optimizing vitality, preventing age-related decline, and redefining what it means to grow older. Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience and personal practice, Dr. Gershon shares how his own transformation as an aging athlete led him into the field of regenerative medicine. Together, he and Dr. Lockitch explore powerful, science-backed strategies that can enhance both lifespan and healthspan—the years we live well. From hormone optimization to peptide therapies and red light treatments, Dr. Gershon explains how these tools support cellular health, fight inflammation, and reverse the effects of environmental toxins. He addresses common myths about hormone replacement, especially in women with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, and explains the critical differences between synthetic and natural hormone therapies. This episode also dives into emerging regenerative solutions like peptides (BPC-157, AOD-9604, and more), red light therapy for pain and skin rejuvenation, and the foundational role of nutrition and micronutrient support. Aligning with the Growing Older Living Younger concept, Dr. Gershon emphasizes that many symptoms of “normal aging” are in fact avoidable and often reversible—if we are willing to become proactive students of our own biology.Listeners will also appreciate the discussion on the importance of mindset, self-talk, and spiritual and emotional resilience in aging well. Dr. Gershon and Dr. Lockitch share their personal insights on living with purpose, managing stress, and embracing daily rituals that uplift the body and the mind. Whether you're in your 40s or your 80s, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and empowering wisdom to help you live younger, longer. Discover how regenerative medicine, lifestyle changes, and belief in your body's potential can transform the way you age.  Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Introduction to the Podcast Welcome and overview of this week's focus: healthspan vs lifespan and regenerative aging 3:09 – Meet Dr. Julian Gershon Dr. Gershon shares his background in sports medicine and his evolution into anti-aging medicine 3:51 – The Core Message of Beyond the Fountain of Youth Longevity is attainable—everyone can take steps to live better, longer 8:16 – Misconceptions About Aging and Hormone Therapy Why hormone decline isn't inevitable, and how restoring balance improves quality of life 11:46 – Hormone Therapy After Cancer The controversy around HRT in breast cancer survivors and why natural hormones may be protective 14:49 – Peptides: What They Are and Why They Matter An overview of bioactive peptides, including BPC-157, and their roles in healing and inflammation 22:29 – Hormone Imbalance in Younger Generations The role of environmental toxins in lowering hormone levels in men and women—even in their 20s 24:29 – Red Light Therapy at Home and in Clinics Therapeutic uses for pain, skin health, and inflammation—plus tips on what makes a device effective 27:19 – Nutritional Therapy and Micronutrient Testing Why even healthy eaters may be nutrient-deficient, and how supplementation bridges the gap 30:53 – Sugar: The Silent Killer Glycation, inflammation, and the metabolic drivers behind aging and chronic disease 33:09 – Blue Zones and Natural Living Lessons in longevity from cultures that prioritize movement, real food, and community 35:00 – The Power of Mindset and Spiritual Practice How positivity, intention, and mental habits shape the aging experience 38:18 – One Key Takeaway “Become a student of the process—there's so much you can do to influence how you age” Learn about Dr. Gershon and The Fountain of Youth. https://www.facebook.com/AspenMed https://twitter.com/aspenmed https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL5KHBSpVVPm7DMTr0nzSqg https://www.instagram.com/drjuliangershon/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/julian-gershon-jr-do-faoasm-abaarm-2a1a3315/ www.aspen-regenerativemedicine.com Action Steps: Access Your Free E-book Guide from Dr. Gillian Lockitch Schedule a  OneonOne conversation with Dr. Gillian Lockitch.  Join the Growing Older Living YOunger Community  If you have not already done so please rate and review the show.

In this powerhouse episode of The Thyroid Fixer Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing something deeply personal: my recent uterine cancer diagnosis. But this isn't just a story about me—it's about everything I'm uncovering for YOU as I navigate the tough questions about hormone replacement, cancer risk, and bioidentical hormones. I brought in the hormone whisperer herself, Betty Murray, to break down my DUTCH test results and show you how this test can reveal critical pieces of your hormonal puzzle, from estrogen metabolism to those sneaky detox pathways that even most practitioners don't see coming. If you've ever wondered how to personalize your hormone replacement and avoid the cookie-cutter clinic approach, this episode is your must-listen cheat sheet. We're diving deep on why no woman should settle for an algorithmic approach to hormone therapy—because you are not an algorithm! You'll hear exactly how genetics, lifestyle, and even environmental toxins can impact your estrogen metabolism and overall cancer risk. We'll talk about what those DUTCH test dials really mean for your thyroid, testosterone, cortisol, and most importantly, your long-term health. Whether you're already on HRT, battling fatigue, have a family history of cancer, or simply want to bulletproof your future, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to advocate for your own body...plus, you'll get some never-heard insights into how I'm customizing my post-cancer hormone protocol.
