Dave Young of WHI Solutions shares a compelling story about transforming automotive recycling through e-commerce innovation. Having celebrated 31 years with the company, Young's journey parallels the evolution of digital parts sales, particularly since WHI's acquisition by eBay in 2012.What started as a technology gap has blossomed into a game-changing partnership. While WHI excelled at helping sellers list new aftermarket parts on eBay, they lacked specialized tools for the unique challenges of salvage yards. Enter URG (United Recyclers Group), whose industry expertise perfectly complemented WHI's technological capabilities. Together, they've developed solutions that address the specific needs of auto recyclers - from handling fitment data to incorporating mileage, condition, and other crucial details that differentiate recycled parts.The results speak volumes: nearly 60 yards now collectively sell millions in parts monthly through the platform. URG members using WHI Solutions average a 25% revenue increase, with standout performers like Bessler Auto Parts achieving an astonishing 440% growth in just months. This success stems from the dramatic efficiency gains of bulk listing - what once required 30+ minutes of manual work per part now happens automatically at scale.Beyond impressive numbers, Young emphasizes the mutually beneficial relationship that makes this partnership special. "It's good for everybody," he notes, describing the synergy that creates value for WHI, URG members, and parts buyers alike. He particularly values the community atmosphere at URG events, which feel more like "family reunions" than typical industry conferences.For recyclers curious about boosting their digital sales channels, the process starts with a simple 30-minute conversation. WHI representatives work closely with each yard to understand their current operations, management system, and goals before crafting a personalized implementation plan. Experience this partnership firsthand by connecting through URG or meeting the WHI team at upcoming industry events like the ARA conference in Birmingham this October.

Send us a textWelcome back to Ending Physician Overwhelm! As we head into the last week of August 2025 and prepare for back-to-school season, it's time to think about something we do constantly as physicians: learning.The Evolution of Medical LearningYou've been a professional learner your entire career. Medical school, residency, fellowship, boards, CME requirements - you've mastered the art of absorbing information and passing tests. But here's the question that might change everything: Who are you actually learning from?If you're like most of us who trained in the early 2000s, your medical education came primarily from older white men reading the same traditional journals and following conventional pathways. While this wasn't inherently wrong, it created a narrow lens that may no longer serve you - or your patients.Breaking Out of Traditional Learning BoxesAs medicine evolves, so should your sources of knowledge. Whether you're exploring:Obesity medicine (where traditional training left massive gaps)Menopause care (practically non-existent in most curricula thanks to the WHI study fallout)Lifestyle medicine approachesNew practice models that prioritize patient connectionYou need voices that reflect the reality of modern healthcare delivery, not just academic theory.The Current Medical Learning LandscapeHere's what's happening right now that affects how you learn:Traditional resources are under threat: With political forces dismantling institutions like ACIP and creating uncertainty around CDC guidance, you're losing historically reliable sources of information.AI is changing everything: Your residents and students are using AI tools that you may not fully understand, yet you're expected to guide them safely through this new landscape.Diversity of voices matters: The patients you serve come from all backgrounds - shouldn't your teachers reflect that diversity too?Finding Your New Learning PathAsk yourself these critical questions:Who is doing the work the way you want to do it?Are you open to being challenged and learning new approaches?Can you unlearn outdated information that's no longer serving your patients?How will you vet new sources of information in an era of compromised traditional resources?Practical Steps for Better LearningSeek out practitioners who:Are actively treating patients (not just publishing papers)Offer practical, real-world applicationsDiscuss the full picture including costs, side effects, and patient experienceChallenge traditional approaches with evidence-based alternativesConsider learning formats beyond traditional CME:Podcasts from practicing physiciansCourses from specialists doing the workMentorship from independent practitionersBooks and resources from diverse voices in medicineThe Power Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

There's a lot of fear and misinformation around HRT, and one of the biggest myths is that HT is a highly significant cause of breast cancer. That is not the case. This is a remnant concept from 2002, with MANY caveats. Calls for the removal of the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) stems primarily from the outdated and limited nature of the data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study published in 2002. The WHI, while groundbreaking at the time, focused predominantly on a specific formulation of conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in older, postmenopausal women, leading to concerns about its generalizability to the broader population of women considering HRT. This is why on July 17, 2025, the FDA met with a panel of experts, in open forum, to hear the petition of removing the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy. Listen in for details. 1.

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia opens up about a side of midlife that rarely gets discussed: what it's really like to care for aging parents, while navigating your own hormone shifts, emotions, and identity. She shares a personal story about supporting her mom after hip surgery, how losing her dad shaped her perspective on forgiveness, and why so many women in their 70s are now facing serious health issues, due to the fallout of the WHI study and lack of hormone therapy access. Claudia also talks about the hard (but necessary) conversation she had with her mom about end-of-life planning…and why getting clear now can prevent stress and heartache later. A raw, reflective episode that will hit home for any woman feeling the weight of midlife caregiving and a powerful reminder to take care of your health now.

In this week's episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by her mother, Ann Newson, for a candid and deeply insightful conversation about HRT after 60, as requested by some ofour viewers. Together, Dr Louise and Ann address the persistent fears around breast cancer and HRT, revisiting data from the controversial 2002 WHI study. They also explore the crucial differences between the older forms of synthetic HRT derived from pregnant horse's urine and today's body identical hormones, which have the same molecular structure as hormones produced by your body.Ann reflects on her own journey with menopause, shaped by a generation that ‘didn't talk about health issues... periods were “the curse” and menopause was just “the change”.' She shares powerful memories of struggling through exhaustion and that at times, coping was simply putting ‘one foot in front of the other'. Together they explore why stopping HRT after the age of 60 should be an individualised choice. Ann also shares her own experiences, frustrations, and how hormones could have possibly impacted her relationship with her daughter, without even realising it. With warmth, humour, and wisdom, this episode champions the importance of informed choice, patient-centred care, and the right to feel well at any age. Read more about HRT in later life on Dr Louise's website here, and an article on the difference between natural and synthetic hormones here.We hope you love the new series!

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.Available to watch on YouTubeWe hope you love the new series!

In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers breaks down the latest original research from the April 2025 issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology, focusing on the long-term cardiovascular biomarker changes in women who participated in the Women's Health Initiative Hormone Therapy Trials. What does this mean for real-life patients considering hormone therapy? Are there age-related risks? What's the deal with triglycerides?Dr. Moyers explores the clinical relevance of these findings, limitations of the data, and the questions that still remain—offering an evidence-based, patient-centered perspective for women navigating menopause and their heart health.
The WHI Findings on Breast Cancer (Liar Liar Breasts on Fire)In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Barbara 'Menopause' Taylor exposes the flawed science and media-driven hysteria surrounding the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and breast cancer. She breaks down how the WHI's design, data manipulation, and misrepresentation of risk fueled widespread fear and misinformation that continues to affect menopausal women today. With sharp analysis and passionate delivery, Dr. Taylor dismantles the myth that HRT causes breast cancer and sets the record straight with the truth you were never told.Visual learner?

After his resurrection, Luke 24 records that Jesus walked with two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus, and during that journey, we're told that “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” So what OT passages did Jesus likely have in mind as he discussed the Hebrew Bible with these two disciples?

She also breaks down the controversy surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT), particularly the damaging legacy of the Women's Health Initiative study, and provides guidance on the safe and personalized use of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in women. With particular emphasis on local vaginal hormone therapy—a safe, effective, and underused treatment—Rachel offers insights that have the potential to transform quality of life for countless women. We discuss: Rachel's training in urology and passion for sexual medicine and women's health [3:00]; Hormonal changes during ovulation, perimenopause, and menopause: why they occur and how they impact women's health and quality of life [5:30]; Why women have such varied responses to the sharp drop in progesterone during the luteal phase and after menopause, and the differing responses to progesterone supplementation [14:45]; The physical and cognitive health risks for postmenopausal women who are not on hormone therapy [17:45]; The history of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and how misinterpretation of the Women's Health Initiative study led to abandonment of HRT [20:15]; The medical system's failure to train doctors in hormone therapy after the WHI study and its lasting impact on menopause care [29:30]; The underappreciated role of testosterone in women's sexual health, and the systemic and regulatory barriers preventing its broader use in female healthcare [35:00]; The bias against HRT—how institutional resistance is preventing meaningful progress in women's health [46:30]; How the medical system's neglect of menopause care has opened the door for unregulated and potentially harmful hormone clinics to take advantage of underserved women [53:30]; The HRT playbook for women part 1: progesterone [57:15]; The HRT playbook for women part 2: estradiol [1:05:00]; Oral formulated estrogen for systemic administration: risks and benefits [1:13:15]; Topical and vaginal estrogen delivery options: benefits and limitations, and how to personalize treatment for each patient [1:17:15]; How to navigate hormone lab testing without getting misled [1:24:15]; The wide-ranging symptoms of menopause—joint pain, brain fog, mood issues, and more [1:31:45]; The evolution of medical terminology and the underrecognized importance of local estrogen therapy for urinary and vaginal health in menopausal women [1:37:45]; The benefits of vaginal estrogen (or DHEA) for preventing UTIs, improving sexual health, and more [1:41:00]; The use of DHEA and testosterone in treating hormone-sensitive genital tissues, and an explanation of what often causes women pain [1:50:15]; Is it too late to start HRT after menopause? [1:56:15]; Should women stop hormone therapy after 10 years? [1:58:15]; How to manage hormone therapy in women with BRCA mutations, DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ), or a history of breast cancer [2:00:00]; How women can identify good menopause care providers and avoid harmful hormone therapy practices, and why menopause medicine is critical for both women and men [2:06:00]; and More.

#152 - Your Doctor Won't Tell You This: The Real Reason Your Hormones Are The Missing Link to Anti-Aging – with Dr. Sarah DaccarettEver feel like your health took a nosedive after 35, and no amount of kale, supplements, or sleep is fixing it? You're not crazy. Your hormones are begging for attention. This week, I'm talking to Dr. Sarah Daccarett, a leading expert in anti-aging and hormone replacement therapy, who's here to debunk myths, spill the truth about HRT, and explain why doctors still stand by outdated research (this will blow your mind). In our conversation, we dive into:
In this episode, Dr Louise is joined by renowned American OB-GYN, integrative medicine specialist and globally renowned women's health expert, Dr Felice Gersh. Together Louise and Felice delve into the science of hormones, how menopause care differs between the US and UK, and the harmful past of women's medicine – from the vaginal mesh scandal to the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study which continues to impact access to HRT for women globally. Louise also speaks to Felice about the impact of weight loss drugs like Ozempic on women experiencing hormonal changes, and the impact of oestradiol on weight management. With decades of experience, Felice is Medical Director of the Integrative Medical Group Irvine, which provides integrative services to support female longevity and complex disease management. Having witnessed the changes to women's health over the years, she speaks candidly about her own concerns about the use of vaginal mesh, before its true harms came to light many years later. Felice and Louise also shed light on the infamous WHI study, which dramatically cut the number of women using HRT across the world. To learn more about Felice, visit her Instagram here.

According to Ex. 13:21, as the people of Israel made their way out of Egypt, we're told that Yahweh went before the people of Israel in a pillar of cloud and fire. What's odd, however, is that the next chapter tells us it was the “angel of God” who went before the host of Israel in the pillar (Ex 4:19). So, how do we explain the difference between these two passages? Did an angel lead the people out of Egypt, or was it Yahweh himself? On this episode, Shane discusses these questions and more with Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn, authors of The Angel of the Lord: A Biblical, Historical, and Theological Study.For a gift of any amount to help support the work of The Humble Skeptic podcast, we'll send you a 12-page PDF resource titled “Finding Christ in All of Scripture.” Click here for a preview.SHOW NOTESRelated BooksThe Angel of the Lord, Doug Van Dorn & Matt ForemanJesus in the Old Testament, Iain DuguidJourneys with Jesus, Dennis JohnsonEchoes of Exodus: Tracing the Theme of Redemption, Roberts & WilsonJoseph: A Story of Love, Hate, Slavery, Power & Forgiveness, John LennoxThe Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J.

Send us a textHormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can provide several benefits for women going through menopause. Some of those benefits include: relief from hot flashes & night sweats, improved mood and mental health, bone health, vaginal health, prevention of heart disease, better quality sleep, improved skin elasticity. All of these benefits are in direct correlation with a better overall quality of life. In the 1990's HRT brought relief from the undesirable symptoms of menopause to millions of women who were enjoying the benefits. However, in 2002 the NIH (National Institutes of Health) held a press conference to announce that HRT caused breast cancer based on findings from an ongoing study. The study was called the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). It claimed that HRT increased breast cancer by 26%, therefore the study was stopped early based on these findings. As a result, HRT was abandoned and labeled as a carcinogen which sent a ripple effect of fear through the medical world. But was it really true? In his book, Blind Spots written by Dr. Marty Makary, he explores what happens when medicine gets it wrong and what it means for our health. In Chapter 2 Dr Makary dives down the rabbit hole of HRT and the skewed results of the WHI study and the impact this decision has made to the health of millions of American women. To this day women are being deprived of life changing treatment that could dramatically impact their health in significant ways and help them avoid death and disease prematurely. In this podcast we explore the truth about HRT and the many ways that it can improve your health, keep you from disease and improve the quality of life as you navigate through menopause. Information referenced in this podcast is derived from the book Blind Spots by Dr Marty Makary.Join us in our private Facebook group.

It remained in first or second place for the rest of the century. Until 2002 when the media got a hold of the results of the Women's Health Initiative study. Doctors around the world were warned not prescribe it and women were told that it was dangerous and shouldn't be on it. But since that time there has been a reanalysis of the study with a much different outcome then was first perceived. Yet we as women and our doctors have heard very little if anything about the benefits and safety of hormone replacement.

There are very few givens when it comes to menopause - and mostly unanswered questions. Should you treat menopause with hormones? Do hormones cause breast cancer? Do hormones cause heart disease? What about non-hormonal alternatives? Shouldn't you just stop complaining? In this episode, we'll offer a few answers about how we got here - decades after the abrupt end of the Women's Health Initiative, the first study of its kind to look at the effects of hormone therapy on women's health. We'll hear from Dr. Marcia Stefanick who worked on the original WHI study and meet Dr. Joann Pinkerton and Dr. Wen Shen, who have devoted their careers to improving women's lives at midlife.
This episode dives deep into the confusion surrounding menopause hormone therapy, discussing the historical stigma, outdated research, and contradictory medical advice women face. By understanding these complexities and advocating for themselves, women can navigate their menopause journeys with more confidence and clarity.• Examination of outdated beliefs about hormone replacement therapy • Discussion on the impact of the WHI study on public perception • Insights on the inconsistencies in medical advice from doctors • Analysis of misinformation in digital spaces, including social media • Exploration of compounded hormones versus FDA-approved therapies • Overview of emerging changes in menopause care, including specialization • Suggestions for women on how to advocate for themselves • Emphasis on the importance of community support and educationLinks Mentioned in The PodcastMenopause Society click HEREInternational Menopause Society click HEREBooks I RecommendMenopause Manifesto by Dr. Jen GunterEstrogen Matters by Dr. Avrum BlumingYou Are Not Broken by Dr. Kelly CaspersonI would love to hear from you!

Today our guest is Dr. JoAnn Manson, an endocrinologist, epidemiologist, and Principal Investigator of several research studies, including the landmark Women's Health Initiative. She is a highly cited researcher and was one of the physicians featured in the National Library of Medicine's exhibition, History of American Women Physicians. Her primary research interests include clinical prevention trials of nutritional and lifestyle factors related to heart disease, diabetes, and cancer and the role of endogenous and exogenous estrogens as determinants of chronic disease. Show notes: [00:02:53] Dawn kicks off the interview by asking JoAnn what it was that drew her to endocrinology. [00:04:33] Ken asks how the things JoAnn witnessed in her early medical practice influenced her interest in disease prevention. [00:05:51] Dawn asks JoAnn to discuss how her mother, who suffered from ovarian cancer, influenced JoAnn's focus on women's health. [00:06:40] Dawn asks JoAnn what prompted her interest in clinical research. [00:08:06] Noting the difference between public health and laboratory medical research, Dawn asks JoAnn what the most valuable thing is that she learned from her master's and Ph.D. work in public health at Harvard. [00:09:10] Ken mentions that while JoAnn and many others are interested in the prevention of disease, our healthcare system does not seem focused on prevention. Ken goes on to asks if this was part of what led JoAnn to work on the Nurses' Health Study. [00:10:17] Ken asks JoAnn to give an overview of the Nurses' Health Study for listeners who may not be familiar. [00:11:41] Dawn explains that the Nurses' Health Study found that women taking hormone therapy had a lower risk of heart disease and a reduction in all-cause mortality. Dawn asks JoAnn to talk about this finding. [00:15:00] Ken asks JoAnn what the impact of the Nurses' Study has been on public health and women's health in general. [00:16:29] Dawn asks JoAnn about her experience being a principal investigator in the Women's Health Initiative starting in 1993. [00:18:17] Ken asks JoAnn to give context regarding how the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) was designed, how the women were recruited, and what the specific questions were that the study aimed to answer. [00:21:34] Dawn mentions that the three interventions that were evaluated in the WHI were hormone therapy; calcium and vitamin D supplementation; and a low-fat diet. Dawn starts by asking JoAnn about the hormone therapy interventions, and how it was decided which hormone therapies to test. [00:24:25] Dawn asks JoAnn to give some context to the finding from the WHI that women taking the combination of conjugated estrogen and medroxyprogesterone acetate had higher risks of breast cancer and stroke. [00:27:01] Ken asks if the worse outcomes from hormone therapy for older women was due to their advanced age, or the hormone therapy itself. [00:30:25] Ken asks JoAnn to talk about the risk factors for breast cancer that were uncovered by the WHI. [00:35:38] Dawn explains that because of the WHI's findings, it is more common to use transdermal estradiol, as opposed to the oral form evaluated in the original trial. Dawn asks JoAnn to explain how the different ways these hormone formulations are processed in the body affects the risk benefit ratio. [00:39:04] Dawn asks if these transdermal estradiol treatments might have benefits regarding cognitive decline. [00:43:26] Ken asks JoAnn for her thoughts on the overuse and potential misuse of the term ‘bioidentical hormones.' Ken goes on to note that the term has seemingly become more related to marketing and further distanced from clinical science. [00:46:48] Dawn asks JoAnn to talk about the role that perimenopausal birth control decisions can play in the management of hot flashes for women in their 40s and 50s. [00:49:14] Ken shifts the conversation to discuss the second pillar of the WHI,
This special Christmas edition of the podcast features Shane's man-on-the-street interviews that he recorded at a local Christmas festival. In particular, he asked whether the holiday, with all its memorable characters, is rooted in mythology, history, or a little of both. In the second half of the program, Shane reads selections from Justin Martyr's First Apology, which provides insight into the compelling nature of early Christian proclamation.

If you would like to read a transcript of this episode along with some additional information, head on over to my substack- substack.com/@DrStreicher Chances are you have heard at least one expert say that systemic hormone therapy will prevent heart disease. But you also may have heard other experts say, No- if you don't have hot flashes or low bone mass, it is not recommended to take hormone therapy to prevent heart disease down the road.

On this episode, Shane weaves together a variety of interviews he's recorded over the years related to Genesis 28 and the story of Jacob's ladder. In particular, the conversations focus on the way the narrative has been completely inverted to become another Tower of Babel tale of our ascent to God, rather than a prophecy of Christ's descent to us in mercy and grace.For a gift of any amount to help support the work of The Humble Skeptic podcast, we'll send you a 12-page PDF resource by Shane Rosenthal titled, “Finding Christ in All of Scripture.” For a preview of this helpful resource, click here.

On this episode, Shane talks with Peter J. Williams about his book, The Surprising Genius of Jesus, which primarily focuses on the parables of Luke 15. Shane discussed some of these parables on episode 43 earlier this year, but the insights provided by Williams merit a brand new investigation. In short, the more we notice Jesus' subtle allusions to the Old Testament, the more we'll understand his teaching and begin to appreciate the depth of his genius. Toward the end of the conversation, the two also discuss questions related to the date of John's Gospel in light of recent trends among New Testament scholars who are currently reassessing the late date hypothesis.SHOW NOTESBooksThe Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J.

Dr. Roger Lobo, a renowned expert in women's health, discusses the misconceptions and controversies surrounding female hormones. He highlights the lack of knowledge and understanding in areas such as PCOS, menopause, and hormone therapy. Dr. Lobo also delves into the impact of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on hormone therapy and the importance of individualized treatment. He emphasizes the need for informed consent and personalized approaches to hormone therapy based on factors such as age, risk assessment, and transdermal delivery. The conversation also touches on the role of progesterone in protecting the uterine lining and the potential risks of bioidentical hormones. In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Roger Lobo discuss the use of hormone therapy for primary prevention in women. They address the controversy surrounding hormone therapy and the lack of consensus among healthcare providers. Dr. Lobo emphasizes the importance of education and the need for providers to be knowledgeable about hormone therapy. They also discuss the role of estrogen in preventing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Dr. Lobo mentions advancements in the field, including the use of estetrol and selective estrogen receptor modulators. Takeaways Misdiagnosis and lack of understanding are common in areas such as PCOS and menopause. The WHI study led to a generation of women being undertreated due to misconceptions about hormone therapy. Hormone therapy should be individualized based on factors such as age, risk assessment, and transdermal delivery. Progesterone is important for protecting the uterine lining in hormone therapy. Bioidentical hormones may still carry risks and should be monitored. There is controversy and lack of consensus among healthcare providers regarding the use of hormone therapy for primary prevention in women. Education is crucial to ensure that healthcare providers are knowledgeable about hormone therapy and can provide accurate information to patients. Estrogen has a role in preventing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Advancements in the field include the use of estetrol and selective estrogen receptor modulators.

Menopause is rewriting the health rulebook, and some of the latest research may surprise you. In this episode, I'm sharing discoveries that go way beyond the usual hot flashes, like how menopause can affect joint pain and even brain health. You'll hear why Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) could actually help reduce dementia risk by 34% and why it's time to leave outdated myths about estrogen behind. I'll also cover why lab testing and regular monitoring with HRT are a must and what the latest findings say about bioidentical hormones for heart health, stronger bones, and even longevity. Plus, there's some eye-opening news from the Women's Health Initiative that turns past warnings about HRT on their head. This conversation is all about giving you tools to work with your body as it changes. And for those of you navigating perimenopause, I created Estro Balance Mastery as a real ally during this time.

Memorable Quotes: "All the women that have been told that hormones are going to give them stroke and heart attack, that's inaccurate. All the women that were told it was going to give them breast cancer, that's inaccurate. All the women that were told bioidentical hormone replacement was unnecessary, that ended up with osteoporosis and osteopenia, suffered unnecessarily." — Betty Murray "If somebody told you that we could give you this one thing and it reduced your risk for Alzheimer's and dementia over your lifetime by 34%, don't you think you would do it? So essentially, their consensus was hormone replacement therapy protects the brain, and especially if we can start it earlier, we get better protection." — Betty Murray Links Mentioned: Estro Balance Mastery (Get 10% OFF first order): https://metabolicblueprint.com/pod10/ Mastering the Pause: The Guide to Menopause Mastery Ebook: https://guide.hormoneshelp.com/ Other Relative Links: The Safety of BHRT in Women Over 65: https://journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/fulltext/2024/05000/use_of_menopausal_hormone_therapy_beyond_age_65.3.aspxhttps://journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/fulltext/2024/05000/use_of_menopausal_hormone_therapy_beyond_age_65.3.aspx Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39077777/ WHI 2024 - Statistical Reanalysis: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2818206 Mosconi - BHRT and Cognitive Health: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/aging-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnagi.2023.1260427/full Mosconi - Brain Imaging: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-62820-7 Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/ Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com

Some Christians in our day push back against the idea of “the separation of church and state,” but David VanDrunen argues that, in reality, this is a crucial distinction taught throughout the Bible. So what is the proper view of government from a Christian perspective and how should we think about the relationship between theology and politics? Shane talks with Dr. VanDrunen about these and other issues he addresses in his book Politics After Christendom: Political Theology in a Fractured World.SHOW NOTESRecommended BooksPolitics After Christendom, David VanDrunenLiving in God's Two Kingdoms, David VanDrunenNatural Law: A Short Companion, David VanDrunenDivine Covenants & Moral Order, David VanDrunenNatural Law & The Two Kingdoms, David VanDrunenRecommended ArticlesParadise Lost, David VanDrunenThe Tower of Babel, Shane RosenthalChristianity & Politics, William Bennet, Os Guinness & OthersRecommended AudioA Biblical Theology of Civil Government, David VanDrunenThe Rise & Fall of Christendom, David VanDrunenTheocracy or Liberalism?
