Optimizing Hormones Early in Perimenopause

• • Why do you think there still so much confusion about hormone replacement therapy and if it’s “good” or “bad”[00:18:56]
  • You suggest there are downsides to hormone testing… and I’m curious about why you’d say so? [00:22:50]
  • I’m also shocked to find some believe testing is unnecessary with estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy, that seems like a big fat game of trial and error and any woman on HRT knows that getting your cocktail right already is a course-correcting journey as it is – say more about these people who are shooting darts in the dark.. Who does that? [00:24:29]
  • First of all, what is balanced? How do you know when all of the major hormones are “balanced”? [00:27:52]
  • Do you think every woman benefits from testosterone replacement therapy? [00:34:26]
  • What additional factors do you focus on with your patients to help them be successful with HRT? [00:35:08]
    
    
    Few women were optimizing hormones early in perimenopause a decade ago. But the health outlook for those that do stands to be significantly better than for those women who experience drops then boost it again.
