128 - The Future of Aging: Embracing Hormone Optimization, Part 1

Hormone optimization is a new and complicated topic, and we're going to begin covering it in today's episode. As women enter menopause and seek hormone replacement therapy as a solution, it's important to have an understanding of how aging impacts the body and how hormone optimization can help. I recently listened to a podcast which compared hormone therapy to home renovation. The host, a retired doctor, discussed using the estradiol patch with oral progesterone (a common pair used in hormone therapy today). Taking into account the doses available for these products, there are only 10 possible dose combinations available. Do we honestly believe that these 10 combinations are going to balance the hormones of all individually unique women? While hormone replacement therapy can reduce unwanted symptoms like hot flashes, it doesn't necessarily mean you're achieving the best quality of life and highest function possible. Optimal functional levels reflect peak performance and wellbeing—not just the reduction of one or two symptoms. It goes beyond replacing what's deficient, but instead focuses on restoring hormone levels to mirror a time in life where you looked and felt your best. Knowing the difference can help you manage expectations, should you pursue hormone replacement therapy. Menopause management should be (and may become over the next decade or two) its own specialty. It takes vast knowledge to truly help a woman reach a balanced, optimal state through hormone replacement treatment. I believe every woman should know what hormone optimization is and the benefits it can offer.
