The challenge I have with hormone replacement therapy, and this is so huge and I want people to understand this, is just because you put the hormone into your body doesn't mean your body knows what to do with it.

It is an exogenous outside source.

So you need to make sure the body is ready to receive this hormone.

Okay, what's the number one thing you need to make sure that a body can receive a hormone?

You gotta be metabolically healthy.

If you are not metabolically healthy, you put that hormone into your body and we don't know what it's gonna do with it.

Okay, second thing, on every cell lives receptor sites.

Receptor sites are like gateways that allow hormones to get in there.

There are toxins that block these receptor sites and make it so that glucose can't get into the cell, insulin can't get into the cell, hormones can't get into the cell.

So what's your toxic load?

Bring your toxic load down.

So there's so much lifestyle that we're leaving out of the hormone replacement therapy conversation.

They're bioidentical, but if you use them bioidentical, a lot of the hormones that are being used right now or that we're talking about that women are jumping on are not bioidentical.

Oh yeah.

The hormone conversation has been, everybody get on HRT.

Yeah.

We have lost the nuance.

We have lost that there are bioidentical hormones and there are synthetic hormones.

For sure, you need to get on bioidentical hormones.

And how do you know you're on bioidentical hormones?
