Ep. 560 “These Are the Hormones I Don’t Skip” — How I Structure HRT for Brain, Bone & Heart Health
Description
Most of the questions I’ve been asked lately have been about my current hormone replacement regimen. So I have dedicated this episode to unpacking what I use transdermally, orally, and topically for hormone replacement therapy.

Stay tuned to find out what I do for hormone replacement therapy.
