Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-17-2025: Dr. Dawn analyzes a leaked federal health program budget document, noting a significant $80 billion cut in discretionary funding, workforce reductions of 20,000 employees, elimination of disease prevention programs, and potential reorganization chaos that could impact healthcare access. She reports on research showing a troubling 5% increase in infant mortality rates in states that have implemented abortion bans, with particularly high increases among Black infants, demonstrating that these bans may have unintended negative consequences on families. Responding to an email about Dupuytren's contracture, Dr. Dawn describes a radiation therapy approach used in Europe that can treat early-stage disease with lower radiation doses, potentially stopping progression without surgery. She discusses new research suggesting that bacterial vaginosis should be treated as a sexually transmitted infection by treating both partners, which reduced recurrence rates from 63% to 35% compared to treating only the woman. Dr. Dawn addresses an email from a breast cancer survivor experiencing menopausal symptoms recommending 5-HTP, trazodone for sleep disruption, iron supplementation for her low ferritin, and dietary adjustments while noting concerns about the black box warning for NOT FEXO - CHECK THE EMAIL FOR THE NAME OF THE DRUG. A studio guest joins the conversation about healthcare priorities, discussing how the American medical system focuses more on disease treatment than prevention, with both agreeing that public spaces should be redesigned to encourage physical activity like in European cities. Responding to an email about a 61-year-old man experiencing dizziness and balance issues when standing or walking, Dr. Dawn suspects B12 deficiency possibly caused by past heavy alcohol use and longstanding acid reflux medication, recommending specific tests. She recommends a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in each ear every night as the best at-home solution to melt earwax buildup and prevent recurrence of blockage.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog Menopausal Symptoms I waited to announce the emerging research regarding the safety of post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy for breast cancer patients suffering from severe menopausal symptoms until the research finally supported my belief that women have the right to receive the treatment that they need if they accept the risks of that treatment. The past year of research (2024-2025) has produced a significant amount of research demonstrating the health risks associated from not taking hormone replacement therapy, as well as the safety of using testosterone after breast cancer and the limited risks of hormone replacement therapy following breast cancer. I have practiced women's medicine for over 40 years, and I believe that female patients should have the right to receive post-menopausal hormone therapy if they understand and accept the associated risks and benefits, as long as it is administered safely. Let me pause here to discuss how doctors ethically make decisions about treatment. First, the aim of medical treatment is to improve health and longevity while alleviating symptoms. It is a doctor's responsibility to evaluate, treat, and advise patients on the best course of therapy based on their medical training, practical experience, and the latest research. However, the third factor is often overlooked when advising patients about hormone replacement therapy after breast cancer. Doctors determine the best course of treatment by using this information and weighing the benefits of a treatment against its risks. We are trained to provide this information to patients to facilitate informed decision-making with the patient, not for the patient. This process requires time that doctors no longer have. Ah, and therein lies the problem. Doctors are trained to follow research related to the diseases and conditions they treat and to integrate that research into their practice. The basic decision-making process involves weighing the benefits of treatment (or no treatment) against the associated risks. When the benefits of a treatment outweigh its risks, it is recommended to the patient. “Recommended” means the doctor, based on current knowledge, believes it to be safer and more effective for the patient's health to pursue a specific treatment. However, this does not imply that the patient must follow the doctor's advice. A patient is autonomous and can assess the risks and benefits once informed, allowing them to refuse a treatment or request one that falls outside current medical guidelines. Doctors do not have to embark on a treatment they do not believe is beneficial or safe. Doctors have autonomy as well! Doctors in mainstream medicine adhere to “medical guidelines” established by our specialties, which represent the minimum level of care expected from a physician. However, these guidelines are often decades behind current research, meaning that the risks and benefits communicated to a patient may be outdated. A legal requirement known as informed consent mandates that a doctor inform the patient or include this information in a consent form that the patient reads and signs, detailing the procedure or treatment. If the treatment is newer than the guidelines, it is categorized as “off-label.” It is essential for the doctor to inform the patient that the treatment does not conform to current guidelines, and the patient must acknowledge the known risks associated with the treatment. At BioBalance Health®, we often find ourselves ahead of the guidelines, and my experience indicates it may take up to 20 years for the guidelines to catch up with us. Much of our treatment is considered off-label because it is current and ahead of the guidelines. It is superior to other treatments and remains safe, but risks are inherent in every treatment! Now, let's return to breast cancer and the roles of estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone replacement. Here are the facts about breast cancer: Most breast cancer patients are post-menopausal, and have symptoms of menopause Not all types of breast cancer are stimulated by estradiol or progesterone, and therefore for these cancers hormone replacement therapy is safe. Breast Cancer patients with negative nodes who have had a bilateral mastectomy are candidates for hormone replacement therapy after their treatment. The risks of estrogen replacement for ER+ breast cancer patients may promote the growth of cancer cells, while testosterone replacement lowers the risk of recurrence and alleviates certain menopausal symptoms. When testosterone is combined with estradiol, the risk of developing breast cancer in all women is reduced. Testosterone enhances the quantity and activity of cancer-fighting T-killer and T-helper white blood cells. All breast cancer patients can manage menopause symptoms using testosterone pellet therapy and vaginal estrogen without an increased risk of recurrence. Do you remember when I mentioned that the risks of treatment should be balanced with the benefits of that same treatment? Recently, numerous research articles have outlined the benefits of estradiol treatment, which I included in my 2017 book, “The Secret Female Hormone: How Testosterone Replacement Can Change Your Life.” In early 2025, the safety of taking estradiol for menopausal women confirmed the less publicized research that had come before. The Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that women who underwent estradiol replacement after the age of 60 live 20% longer than those who do not take hormone replacement therapy. This challenges the guideline that advises OB-GYNs to discontinue hormone replacement therapy before the age of 60. The Benefits of Estrogen replacement after menopause, based on multiple research studies over the last 20 years is as follows: ERT alleviates symptoms such as dry vagina, painful intercourse, insomnia, hot flashes, and night sweats. Estrogen replacement prevents and treats osteoporosis in women. Testosterone replacement in women with osteoporosis can reverse the process of bone loss, bringing bone back to normal strength and decreasing fracture risk. Non-oral Testosterone and Estradiol can prevent arteriosclerotic heart disease. ERT and HRT decreases the risk of diabetes with aging. Estradiol replacement during the first decade after menopause can delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia by ten years. If you are genetically predisposed to developing Alzheimer's or dementia by age 80, E2 replacement may postpone this onset until you turn 90. Testosterone replacement in the first 10 years after menopause postpones the onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia for an additional ten years. Testosterone boosts immune function in both sexes and diminishes the onset and severity of infectious diseases. Aging causes cognitive decline, marked by challenges in memory and thinking, and menopause speeds up this process. Testosterone and estradiol replacement therapies may aid in reversing this decline. Muscle mass decreases after menopause due to a decline in testosterone but replacing testosterone with bio-identical pellets restores muscle mass to premenopausal levels. The latest medical article that inspired me to create this podcast was published in the journal Menopause, which discussed the challenges many women face after breast cancer treatment without hormone replacement for their severe menopausal symptoms. Here are the quotes I think you should hear: (MHT = Menopause Hormone Therapy) “Among 226 breast cancer survivors.. the menopause symptom burden was high and women's experience of menopause-related breast cancer after-care was poor. Few women felt actively involved in menopause treatment decisions. The NICE breast cancer guideline (NG101) states that women with a history of breast cancer can be offered MHT in “exceptional” circumstances if other treatments have failed (off-label use). However, NICE does not define what “exceptional” circumstances are or who gets to decide. Up to 50% of breast cancer survivors, especially those with debilitating menopausal symptoms, may choose to accept a small increase in risk in exchange for an improved quality of life and/or to mitigate future health risks associated with chronic estrogen deficiency. “Allowing”. women to have MHT only in “exceptional” circumstance undermines patient autonomy and limits a clinician's ability to integrate clinical knowledge and judgment with the best currently available evidence (which is decades behind clinical guidelines). Clinicians have a legal and ethical responsibility to patients to make informed treatment choices. If you have had breast cancer and are experiencing symptoms you no longer want to endure, my advice is to find a doctor with whom you can make an informed decision based on the latest research. It's important to understand and accept the risks and to sign a High-Risk Consent for HRT. If you aren't that brave, then seek a physician who will prescribe testosterone pellets along with vaginal estradiol to alleviate some of your post-menopausal symptoms. Life is too short to follow guidelines that are 20 years out of date when you are suffering.

Today's podcast episode came about from a conversation I recorded with Paul Telford, the CEO of Emotional Bliss, a company focused on sexual pleasure. Paul has made it his mission to support older women in attaining sexual satisfaction. I was introduced to Paul by another guest, Kelly Connell, who suggested we discuss Paul's interest in how orgasms can help alleviate menopause symptoms. While I don't completely dismiss this idea, I believe that anything that feels good raises dopamine levels and enhances physical connection with a partner benefits both physical and mental health.Originally from Yorkshire, Paul may not be the person you would immediately associate with someone who cares about women's sexual health. However, his perspective changed after a conversation with a sex therapist.According to Paul, "During that encounter, I discovered that a significantly higher number of women rely on antidepressants compared to men. This is because men self-medicate throughout their lives, and it's even encouraged, while most women do not."Paul began collaborating with leading sex therapists, as well as mechanical and electrical engineers. This collaboration led to the creation of Emotional Bliss, which developed prototypes of intimate massagers for women. After extensive work to find the best shapes, contact areas, textures, and vibrations, they received feedback and now offer a range of products with innovative features. These include incorporating heat and specific low vibrations that are ideal for targeting the larger clitoral nerves.I hope you'll enjoy this episode, and if you'd like to win an Emotional Bliss Intimate Massager, we have two to give away.

Your Infinite Health: Anti Aging Biohacking, Regenerative Medicine and You
In this episode of Your Infinite Health, host LeNae Goolsby discusses progesterone's essential role in women's health, particularly for those over 30. Progesterone, a hormone naturally produced in the body, regulates the menstrual cycle and helps maintain a healthy pregnancy. However, as women age, progesterone levels may decline, leading to various health concerns.As women age, progesterone levels can decline, leading to various health issues. LeNae explains how supplementing progesterone levels can benefit women in several ways, such as regulating the menstrual cycle, providing relief from irregular periods, and reducing symptoms like cramping and bloating.Progesterone supplementation can also positively impact fertility and menopausal symptoms. As women's fertility naturally declines with age, progesterone can improve the chances of conception and minimize pregnancy-related complications. It also helps alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings.Moreover, progesterone is essential for maintaining bone health, as it helps maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Mental health benefits from progesterone supplementation too, as it has a calming effect on the brain, reducing stress and improving well-being.LeNae emphasizes the importance of self-care and not settling for "normal" hormone levels. Strive for optimal health and seek professional advice to ensure you receive the right treatment for your individual needs.In conclusion, supplementing progesterone levels for women over 30 provides numerous benefits, including regulating menstrual cycles, improving fertility, reducing menopausal symptoms, maintaining bone health, and enhancing mental well-being. Prioritize your well-being, and remember that self-care is essential for both yourself and your community.Dr. Trip Goolsby & LeNae Goolsby are the co-founders of the Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center, and are also the co-authors of the book “Think and Live Longer”.TakeawaysPrioritize your hormonal health.Understand the importance of progesterone.Supplement declining progesterone.ConnectDr. Trip Goolsby & LeNae Goolsby are the co-founders of the Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center, and are also the co-authors of the book “Think and Live Longer”.

In this episode, we talk to Esther Blum, who is the bestselling author of Cavewomen Don't Get Fat, Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous. She currently maintains a busy virtual practice where she helps women balance hormones, lose stubborn body fat, and treat the root cause of health struggles. Esther received a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Nutrition from Simmons College in Boston and is a graduate of New York University, where she received her Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition. She says the best way to heal the worst menopausal symptoms naturally is by using a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and natural hormone therapy. Dietary changes should focus on eating a nutrient-dense diet with plenty of protein and healthy fats, such as butter, beef, fish, eggs, cold-water fatty fish, and coconut oil. Additionally, adding liver and organ meats, as well as brain, heart, and kidney, can help nourish the eggs and support fertility. Lifestyle modifications, such as spending time outside in nature, can help reduce stress and improve hormone balance. Finally, natural hormone therapy can help reduce symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, brain fog, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and vaginal dryness. This can include the use of bio-identical hormones such as progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone, as well as vaginal estrogen and DHEA. It is important to work with a functional medicine practitioner to monitor hormone levels and ensure proper dosage. Benefits of Hormone Therapy Hormone therapy can be beneficial for women throughout the different stages of their reproductive years. It can help to regulate hormones, reduce symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and night sweats, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, reduce the risk of heart disease, improve libido, and improve mood. It can also be used to offset the decline of progesterone and estrogen, balance out hormone levels, and reduce the risk of developing certain diseases. Additionally, hormone therapy can be used to improve fertility and egg quality. What are some things that can help optimize hormone levels As women enter menopause, hormone levels can become unbalanced and can cause a wide range of unpleasant symptoms. To help optimize hormone levels, Esther Blum, a best selling author and clinical nutritionist, suggests a few simple strategies. First, Blum recommends using vaginal estrogen. This helps to prevent the thinning of the vaginal walls and can maintain collagen and elastin, as well as lubrication which can prevent pain during sex. Blum also suggests utilizing progesterone in the second half of the cycle to help balance hormones and reduce symptoms like heavy periods, fatigue, and brain fog. Blum also notes that DHEA and testosterone can help to balance hormones. To get the most benefit, it's important to monitor hormone levels to determine when to bring in these hormones. She suggests working with a practitioner to determine an individualized hormone plan. Blum also recommends a high fat diet with animal fats, beef, fish, eggs, and cold-water fatty fish. This can help to nourish the eggs, liver, and other organs, promoting fertility. In addition to these strategies, Blum stresses the importance of reducing stress levels and taking time for self-care. This can help to support hormonal balance and overall health. By utilizing these strategies, women can take steps towards optimizing their hormone levels, reducing menopausal symptoms, and promoting overall health and well-being. In this podcast, you will learn about: The importance of optimizing hormone levels how protein and carbs play an important role in the body fertility hacks the difference between vaginal estrogen and vaginal DHEA? and so much more.

During the transition to menopause, approximately 50%-75% of individuals experience vasomotor or genitourinary symptoms. JAMA Senior Editor Linda Brubaker, MD, and Carolyn Crandall MD, MS, of the University of California, Los Angeles, discuss hormonal and nonhormonal therapy for treatment of menopausal symptoms.

More than one-third of the U.S. population of women is peri or post-menopause. Driven by a significant change in hormones, many women in this stage of life experience decreased libido, changes in sexual function, difficulty with sleep, and memory decline. A recent study looked at the effects of aromatherapy or a mindfulness intervention, or the combination of the two, and their impact on sexual function. Not surprisingly, aromatherapy was shown to be helpful. Study Design One hundred thirty-two postmenopausal women were divided among four groups: Aromatherapy + Routine Care (standard medical care) Mind-Body Intervention + Aromatherapy Placebo Aromatherapy + Mind-Body Intervention Routine Care + Aromatherapy Placebo The women were 50-60 years old, hadn't used hormone therapy in at least the previous six months, had moderate anxiety with some sexual dysfunction, and were otherwise healthy. The aromatherapy groups inhaled two to three drops of a lavender-bergamot essential oil blend three times per day for eight weeks. The blend was made with essential oils and a 60% ethanol solution. It contained a 0.04% concentration of bergamot and a 5% concentration of lavender, so it was pretty diluted compared to two to three drops of pure essential oils. Even with such a dilution, the essential oil blend led to significant positive outcomes for the women. Study Results At the end of the study, the Mindfulness-Based Intervention and the Aromatherapy groups experienced improvements in sexual function and depression. Interestingly, eight weeks after the study, only the aromatherapy group showed continued improvements. Studies show that aromatherapy stimulates the release of endorphins, which contribute to reductions in pain, stress, and anxiety while increasing relaxation. Hickey M, Bryant C, Judd F. Evaluation and management of depressive and anxiety symptoms in midlife. Climacteric. 2012;15(1):3-9. doi:10.3109/13697137.2011.620188 According to the study's authors: The mechanism of action of these essential oils is two main ways: The first is through the olfactory pathway, which stimulates the receptors located in the olfactory bulb and transmits the olfactory message to the limbic system. This system is the brain's emotional center and is effective on pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory system, and stress response. The second way is through skin absorption. Molecules of essential oils are absorbed through the skin over 20-40 min. Mojtehedi M, et al. Other studies reinforce the findings in this one. Rose, fennel, geranium, and bitter orange have been shown to improve menopause-related symptoms as well, as has Ginko biloba. Read also: Lavender Essential Oil for Anxiety and Depression My Thoughts The results of this study aren't surprising, as so many other previous studies have found similar effects, not only for women during and post-menopause but also for libido, anxiety, and other mental health effects in both men and women of most age groups. The effects of the Mindfulness-Based Intervention are also interesting, though this isn't a topic I write about. If it's something of interest for you, I recommend finding a practitioner who specializes in it. Regarding aromatherapy, I want to point out some crucial points. First, the study participants used the oils multiple times per day, consistently. Your body metabolizes essential oils relatively quickly. This differs from many drugs designed to release into your system over many hours. You can't expect them to work on symptoms like those related to menopause if you only use them once per day or if you use them inconsistently. Second, this study does not suggest that only lavender and bergamot are effective. Hundreds of essential oils are available, some of which you may find repulsive and others you'll enjoy. Lavender and bergamot are well-studied, in part because they're inexpensive and readily available.

Every woman deserves to have a health span that matches her lifespan. In midlife, we get a second chance to change course if we need to….and give our body what it needs to thrive. As we age, our hormone levels naturally shift. As this shift happens, some of us may experience fluctuations with our cycles…or we can experience those steep declines as we hit menopause. These hormonal changes can lead to more than uncomfortable and frustrating symptoms such as sleeplessness, mood swings, vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy, hot flashes, and changes in the appearance of our skin.On today's episode, Cody does a deep into how to thrive through menopause. She shares what she's learned about what we all can do to thrive during this stage of life. Instead of seeing the symptoms mentioned above as inevitable, we can see them for what they are. They're simply our body's way of saying, “I'm not getting what I need.”One thing we do need is nutritional support by some very powerful ingredients called phytoestrogens. Mother nature seems to have created phytoestrogens just for us girls, because they help us stay healthy and feel amazing during every phase of our life.Introducing Herthrive! The right nutrients can relieve your menopausal symptoms and help your body feel and act younger.Herthrive was born from a crusade Cody has been on for the last 5 years to learn as much as she can about this transitional time in every woman's life known as menopause.

EP279: This week's episode is with Heather Hirsch, a menopause doctor based in Boston who helps women who are experiencing symptoms of menopause and peri-menopause go from feeling confused, symptomatic and stuck with their doctors to becoming symptom-free, educated and empowered so they can thrive again in mid-life. Dr. Hirsch is board certified in internal medicine, finished her fellowship training at Cleveland Clinic in 2016, and practiced in one of the largest Academic hospitals in Boston. Her area of excellence is Clinical Expertise and Innovation. She focuses on the field of women's health, particularly midlife and menopause, and its intersection with chronic diseases. In this episode, Dr. Hirsch and I talked about: How she got interested in this specific area of medicine. How to distinguish between systemic hormone therapy and local estrogen therapy. The common myths about menopause. What the term “medical gaslighting” means and how to recognize if it's happening to you. Teaching has always been an integral part of Drl Hirsch's career and she has worked to incorporate it into her various clinical and leadership roles. Additionally, as part of her commitment to patient education, she has written and produced more than 100 podcasts and has written, edited, and created over 100 videos to improve women's knowledge of menopause. She aspires to strengthen and solidify her national committee roles and be a regular contributor to the enhancement of midlife women's health care at the local, regional, and national levels.

I dispel several myths about menopause, such as that it's something to "just deal with." We discuss the risk factors, particularly for mood symptoms like depression and anxiety, and treatment options, from hormones, to psychotherapy, to dietary changes.To learn more about me and my reproductive psychiatry clinic helping patients across California, please visit - AnnaGlezerMD.comLinks:Harvard Mood and Cycles study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16585467/SWAN Study on Menopause risks: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25417760/Meta-Analysis of Age at Menopause: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25417760/CBT for Menopausal Symptoms: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31453958/
