Ep. 419 Hormone Therapy Trends: Allopathic vs. Integrative Care with Dr. Kathleen Jordan

I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Kathleen Jordan today. She is an internist, menopause-certified provider, and the Chief Medical Officer at Midi Health, where she leads a team of clinicians on a telehealth platform serving women across the USA.  In our conversation today, we explore key trends and regional differences in prescribing hormone replacement therapy, contrasting the traditional allopathic approach with integrative care. Dr. Jordan shares her philosophy on lab results and symptoms when addressing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone utilization and highlights the need to access medications and insurance. We also dive into weight loss resistance, sleep, exercise, alcohol, and the research on GLP-1s. This insightful conversation with Dr. Kathleen Jordan is invaluable, so you will likely want to listen to it more than once.
