Ep. 560 “These Are the Hormones I Don’t Skip” — How I Structure HRT for Brain, Bone & Heart Health

Published 1 month ago
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. As you might expect, my approach includes the basics, along with a few additional strategies. I also share a topical option for facial skin that Dr. Felice Gersh recently recommended.

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

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

  • What you need to optimize first, before even considering adding any additional items

  • Why I might need to increase the dosage of my Dotti transdermal estrogen patch

  • Why I consider estradiol the most potent estrogen our bodies make before menopause

  • Factors that influenced my decision to prioritize estradiol therapy

  • The role of testosterone, beyond libido

  • Why I use progesterone

  • The value of intra-vaginal products

  • Why I use a compounded intra-vaginal product 

  • What copper peptides, estriol, DMAE, and hyaluronic acid may do for aging skin
