Today I present to you a special replay of myself appearing as a guest on The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy Pelz as we chat about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. We discuss the misconceptions stemming from a Women's Health Initiative study in the 90s and talk about the unique roles of sex hormones in menopause. We then examine the various methods of administering bioidenticals, such as creams and injections, explaining how hormone therapy can be customized to meet each person's unique needs. We’ll also highlight the importance of a holistic lifestyle alongside hormone replacement therapy for optimal health.

Why the Women's Health Initiative study significantly impacted perceptions of HRT.
How sex hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone uniquely affect the body.
