145. Dr. Austin Lake: Biohacking Women’s Health - Birth Control, Hormones, Sleep & Nutrients

Yeah. I mean, considering hormones rule the world, I'm very pro-hormones. But you're talking about like- Hormone supplementation. Yeah. Obviously, bioidentical is what I preference. Of course. I've had a lot of clients that have come to me after they've been on bioidentical hormones for a while. And they're like, hey, it was great the first few years, doesn't seem to be working anymore.

And that's where we start to intervene. I always tell my clients, if you're on them currently, you may not need to be at the same dosage that you were on to start. And so as you start fixing some of these issues, we always recommend they go back to wherever the doctor is and have them reevaluate it and adjust it and change them down because we don't want to start creating more problems.

If you give a woman testosterone and she doesn't convert it well, and she starts converting more androgens and she's not going to have, she's going to have more problems than she started off with long-term. And so I think it has to be a very complimentary kind of approach with it. And that's where, again, where we fit in. We're not prescribing them. We're not telling them to get off them.

We're just saying like, hey, this is where you are with your lifestyle. This is how we're going to help support you in that and help you implement these changes. And then let's let your body tell you via testing, like what you need to do next. And they, they love that because there's no shortage of hormone prescription out there. Like everyone wants to do that.

So again, it's going to depend on what's kind of driving it. If it is a deficiency or if it is something like their gut health because of how involved your gut is in detoxing estrogen and metabolizing it. And so a lot of women have, and I shouldn't say a lot, but women that have high estrogen, they have also high beta-glucuronidase.

And so that affects the enzyme that will help to detox estrogen out of your system in phase two detox. And so If the body doesn't do that because they have a processed diet and all these deficiencies, then like that's the first place I assume is like your microbiome is probably disrupted.

And that's a very, again, that's why they see a huge effect with the diet we put them on because it's very focused on their microbiome and getting beneficial bacteria and eliminating processed foods and high inflammatory foods and also getting their macros corrected to where they're getting sufficient fat and protein.
