How can stress impact hormone levels?
How crazy when you have this huge tool at your fingertips that you're not using it. And then you say, oh, let me give you a pill. What are we thinking? Your mind and your body are one. How could we think that they are separate?
Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goal. I'm ready for my close-up. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with us this week. Let me introduce you to one of our exciting guests. Okay, Dr. Erica Schwartz. She's the founder of Evolve Science, a world-renowned medical practice based in NYC, built on the recognition that bioidentical hormones are the foundation for better health. Once hormones are balanced, the practice focuses on optimization and longevity. through disease prevention, patient advocacy, and coordination of care. Dr. Erica is a pioneer in the use of bioidentical hormones for preventing illness and recognizing their direct link to overall wellness and their interconnection with diet, sleep, and stress management. I need all those.
Her focus on treating patients and the whole person began more than 30 years ago with her understanding that bioidentical hormone replacement is the safest, most effective path to increase healthspan and to achieve the highest quality of life. Dr. Erica, thank you so much for being here today.
Heather, it's my pleasure. Thank you.
I will tell you, I'm so hyped selfishly, right? Like all, I'm 50 years old and all of my- And you look 35, so don't even tell me.
Oh, you're so sweet. And by the way, I think the chronologic age just sucks as an idea. So, out the door.
However, it is helpful. One thing that I'm learning, and I didn't know this five years ago, and that's why I think it's important we're doing this episode. And I truly am doing this episode for any woman in their 30s and 40s, because I didn't know any of this stuff. I found out, I don't know how, I just didn't know about it. I found out when I was 49, when I started hearing all of my friends complaining about the same things, hair loss, weight gain, low energy, bad mood. And then one of my friends started saying hormone replacement, hormone therapy. And I'm like, what? I don't And so it was just interesting that a group of people, people my age, a lot of us didn't even know about what you literally spent so much of your life studying. Can you talk to us a little bit about how did that all come about? How did you learn about this early on?
Well, clearly not from medical school. And clearly not from medical education. I learned it because like everybody else, it had to happen to me. So while I was trained and I knew what I was doing and I ran a major trauma center as my first job at 28, which was unusual for a woman. Think about it. This was in the late 70s, early 80s. Women did not do jobs like this. So I ran a big trauma center and then I went into private practice and I did internal medicine. and I was just kind of ping-ponging patients, and when I wasn't referring them to specialists, they would say to me, why aren't you referring this patient to specialists? And I'd be like, because I know how to take care of them, and why do I need a specialist if the patient's healthy?
So anyway, what happened when I turned 46, and I'm 74 now, that's why I said to you, age doesn't matter, really. I mean, chronologic age. So I was 46 and I went into menopause and I was treating women in menopause already with all kinds of garbage that we were trained to treat with that were kind of working, kind of not working anyway. So I started feeling not so good. I started taking care of myself according to what I was trained and it wasn't working. And then one of my patients came in and showed me this prescription and said, why don't you order this at the compounding pharmacy, which I didn't even know what it was. So she said, just write it for me in California. So I wrote it. I didn't, you know, it was just basically estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, hormones that our body make. So I was like, oh, okay. The woman came back and she was very happy. And I said, what's going on? And she's like, oh, this is what I need. It's wonderful.
