Menopause Myths Busted: The Truth About Hormones
Manage episode 487081347 series 3369208
Are you still believing menopause means the end of vibrancy or that hormone therapy is just too risky? In "Menopause Myths Busted: The Truth About Hormones," I sit down with renowned hormone expert Dr. Prudence Hall, who has over 40 years of experience, to unravel everything you thought you knew about menopause, hormones, and aging.
This episode digs deep into menopause myths, the truth about hormone therapy, and why your best years are far from behind you. Dr. Hall reveals what most doctors get wrong about menopause (hint: they’re barely taught about it in med school!), the vast difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones, and why one-size-fits-all medicine leaves too many of us suffering needlessly. We discuss the life-changing benefits of hormone optimization—from hot flash relief to preventing heart disease, boosting brainpower, restoring libido, and even safeguarding bone health. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, worried about cancer risks, or convinced you’re "too old" to feel great again, this is the episode that could reset your entire approach to wellness!
What You'll Learn:
- Why most doctors are undertrained in menopause—and how this impacts your care.
- The real difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones, and what’s actually safest for you.
- How estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone work together to shape your health, mind, mood, and longevity.
- What to expect from individualized hormone therapy at any age (even if you’re decades past menopause!).
- The truth about hormones and cancer risk—plus the latest findings on preventing chronic illnesses during menopause.
