An HRT Revolution is Underway. Ready to Individualize Recommendations for Hormone Health?

For anyone who has been paying attention, you may already know that the takeaways related to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from the original Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study have been completely overhauled. It’s about time! As a result, it’s not an understatement to say that we are in the midst of a total transformation in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and it’s essential that as providers we (1) get up to speed on the nuances of the new interpretations and (2) learn how to personalize the guidance we give. Dr. Allison Smith, from Precision Analytical, is really a bright, guiding light in this new era of hormone care. She joins me in this episode of New Frontiers to start to unpack some of those important considerations and share resources for where practitioners can learn more. She explains why more detailed hormone metabolite testing can provide answers to hormonal symptoms when standard serum measures of testosterone and estrogen are “normal.” She also shines a light on the need for understanding how our patients are metabolizing hormones, especially if they are on HRT as well as to optimize their long-term cardiovascular, bone, skin, and brain health. This is indispensable listening and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did. - DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.
