E128 | Why HRT Needs Lifestyle: Science, Pitfalls, and Real Fixes
Manage episode 509952505 series 3533932
On today's show the ladies bring the heat again... (something about when Coach Laken is around...) They're tackling the controversial myth that hormone therapy fixes everything and show how sleep, strength, protein, fiber, and stress shape whether HRT works. We walk through labs that matter, real client wins, and a practical way to build habits that make hormones land.
Here are some of the key takeaways:
• hormones as messengers and why receptors matter
• terrain-first labs: insulin, CRP, thyroid, cortisol, ferritin
• nutrition pillars: 30g protein per meal, 25–35g fiber daily
• strength training for receptor sensitivity and bone health
• sleep timing, circadian rhythm, and recovery
• stress, pregnenolone steal, and adrenal-first decisions
• benefits with limits: lipids, insulin resistance, cancer risk
• habit sequencing, coaching, and individualized plans
