Off-label use of medications can be beneficial and should be considered when appropriate. Comprehensive education on hormones and sex medicine is needed for healthcare professionals. Sleep issues in menopausal women should be addressed beyond hot flashes and night sweats. Anxiety is a common concern for menopausal women and should be treated alongside other symptoms.

Takeaways Menopause should be recognized as a disease and hormone deficiency, challenging the stigma and misconceptions surrounding these terms. There is an alarming increase in alcohol and drug use among menopausal women as a coping mechanism for symptoms. Comprehensive care and access to safe hormone treatments are essential to improve the quality of life for women experiencing menopause. The role of doctors is to help women feel the most like themselves that they can. Hormone therapy can play a crucial role in preventing frailty and maintaining independence in older age. Hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, have anti-inflammatory effects and can improve heart health. The use of synthetic hormones, like conjugated equine estrogens, may have different effects compared to natural hormones. The Balance App provides women with information, support, and the ability to monitor their symptoms and make informed choices about their hormonal health. https://www.instagram.com/menopause_doctor/ Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Vonda Wright discusses the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and the importance of recognizing and addressing the symptoms. She emphasizes the need for doctors to listen to women's concerns and provide appropriate care. Dr. Wright also highlights the role of hormones in musculoskeletal health and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. She advocates for a proactive approach to bone health and overall well-being, emphasizing the importance of mobility and exercise. Dr. Wright encourages women to be active participants in their healthcare and to advocate for themselves. Takeaways The musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause affects 70-80% of women in perimenopause and can manifest in various musculoskeletal symptoms. Women often face challenges in getting a proper diagnosis and treatment for their symptoms, with many being told that their symptoms are all in their head or simply a part of aging. Hormone replacement therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms and improving musculoskeletal health in menopausal women. Preventive measures, such as anti-inflammatory nutrition, building lean muscle mass, and maintaining mobility, can help support musculoskeletal health. Women should be active participants in their healthcare and advocate for themselves, seeking out doctors who are knowledgeable about menopause and its impact on musculoskeletal health. https://www.instagram.com/drvondawright/ Dr. Wright's Health Summit Read Dr. Wright's article here Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

Max Lugavere discusses his journey into researching dementia prevention and the importance of lifestyle factors in maintaining brain health. He emphasizes the need for early intervention and the identification of biomarkers that can indicate risk for cognitive decline. The conversation also touches on the influence of the alcohol and food industries on public health guidelines, the role of physicians in prevention, and the power of individual agency in making healthy choices. In this conversation, Max Lugavere and I discuss various topics related to brain health, nutrition, and lifestyle. They touch on the confusion surrounding processed foods and veganism, the role of cholesterol in health, the importance of exercise for brain health, and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. Max shares his personal experience with his mother's battle with dementia and emphasizes the need for individuals to take control of their own health and advocate for themselves. Takeaways Dementia prevention requires early intervention and the identification of biomarkers that can indicate risk for cognitive decline. The alcohol and food industries have significant influence on public health guidelines, which may not always prioritize prevention. Physicians may not be incentivized to advocate for prevention, and the responsibility for wellness ultimately lies with individuals. There is no one-size-fits-all diet for brain health, but diets low in ultra-processed foods and added sugar tend to be beneficial. The conversation around prevention is growing, but public health statistics show that there is still work to be done. Processed foods can be a source of confusion and stress, leading to unhealthy dietary choices. While veganism can be a personal choice, making health claims and demonizing animal-sourced foods without strong evidence is misleading. Cholesterol is often misunderstood, and the risks associated with it may be exaggerated. LDL cholesterol should be viewed as a check engine light rather than a definitive indicator of health. Exercise is crucial for brain health and can help prevent and slow the progression of conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can have potential benefits for brain health, and the risks are often overblown. Individuals should take control of their own health, stay informed, and be open to updating their knowledge based on new evidence. https://www.instagram.com/maxlugavere/ Documentary Little Empty Boxes https://www.maxlugavere.com/ Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

I am back with Caroline Labouchere! Our conversation explores the topic of libido and the factors that can affect it, such as upbringing, education, relationships, and hormones. It emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own thoughts and beliefs about sex and prioritizing a healthy sex life. The discussion also touches on the use of hormones and medications, such as Addyi and Vyleesi, to address low libido. The conversation highlights the complexity of sexuality and the need for a holistic approach to addressing low desire. In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Casperson discusses various topics related to menopause, hormones, and sexual health. She addresses the use of on-demand medications for low libido, the cost of hormone medications, and the difficulty of finding doctors who specialize in menopause and sex medicine. Dr. Casperson also explains how Viagra works and its potential use for women. She emphasizes the importance of education and communication in addressing sexual health issues and provides information on vaginal estrogen and its benefits. The conversation concludes with a discussion on hormone therapy and its relationship to cancer treatment. Takeaways Libido is a complex topic influenced by various factors, including upbringing, education, relationships, and hormones. Understanding and addressing one's thoughts and beliefs about sex is crucial for improving libido. Hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone, can play a role in libido and may be used as treatment options. Medications like Addyi and Vyleesi are available for low libido, but they may not work for everyone and can have side effects. Prioritizing a healthy sex life and cultivating novelty and communication in relationships can contribute to a satisfying sexual experience. On-demand medications can be used to address low libido, similar to how Viagra is used for men. The cost of hormone medications can be high, making it difficult for some women to afford them. Finding doctors who specialize in menopause and sex medicine can be challenging. Viagra is a vasodilator that improves blood flow, but it does not directly affect desire or orgasm in women. Vaginal estrogen is a safe and effective treatment for symptoms such as pain with sex and dryness. Hormone therapy can be considered after cancer treatment, depending on the individual's situation and risks. Education and communication are crucial in addressing sexual health issues and advocating for proper care. https://www.instagram.com/carolinelabouchere/ Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

My book comes out this week! Order it here! In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Lauren Streicher discuss the topic of testosterone. They address the challenges of discussing testosterone in short social media posts and the misconceptions surrounding its use. They emphasize the importance of educating women about testosterone and the need for more research in this area. The conversation covers various aspects of testosterone, including its role as a human hormone, its use in women who have had their ovaries removed, and its potential benefits for bone health, brain function, and overall well-being. The doctors also discuss the safety of testosterone therapy and the limitations of lab tests in determining optimal levels. In this conversation, Dr. Lauren Streicher and Dr. Kelly Casperson discuss various topics related to hormone therapy and women's health. They touch on the use of testosterone therapy, the role of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), the importance of checking thyroid levels, and the potential risks of using hormone pellets. They also emphasize the need for individualized treatment plans and the importance of education and communication in women's sexual health. Dr. Casperson shares insights from her book, 'You Are Not Broken: Stop "Should'ing" All Over Your Sex Life,' which aims to provide adult sex education and debunk myths surrounding women's sexual health. Takeaways Educating women about testosterone is important, as there are many misconceptions surrounding its use. More research is needed to fully understand the benefits and risks of testosterone therapy in women. Testosterone may have potential benefits for bone health, brain function, and overall well-being in women. Lab tests for testosterone levels are not always reliable indicators of the effects of testosterone in the body. Safety is a key consideration in testosterone therapy, and individualized treatment plans are necessary. Testosterone therapy can be used to address various symptoms in women, but the dosage and approach should be individualized. High levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) can reduce the effectiveness of testosterone therapy, and it may be necessary to explore other options or address underlying causes. Thyroid dysfunction can masquerade as menopause symptoms, so it's important to check thyroid levels in women experiencing hormonal changes. Hormone pellets are not recommended due to the potential for side effects and lack of control over hormone levels. Education and communication are crucial in women's sexual health, and there is a need for adult sex education to address common misconceptions and provide accurate information. Hormone therapy should be seen as a preventive measure rather than a treatment for existing health issues, and it should be part of a comprehensive approach that includes lifestyle factors like exercise and nutrition. https://www.instagram.com/drstreich website: Dr. Streicher.com Dr. Streicher's Podcast: Inside Information Podcast Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Jayne Morgan, a cardiologist, joins Dr. Kelly Casperson to discuss the connection between hormones and heart health in midlife women. They highlight the importance of addressing heart disease, the number one killer of women, and the need to raise awareness about it. Dr. Morgan shares her journey from being a cardiologist to focusing on menopause and women's health during the COVID-19 pandemic. They discuss the symptoms of heart disease in women, the role of cholesterol and statins, and the potential impact of testosterone on heart health. They also touch on the protective effects of hormone therapy for cardiovascular disease and the slow progress in integrating this knowledge into cardiology practice. Dr. Jayne Morgan and Dr. Kelly Casperson discuss the importance of addressing menopause and its impact on heart health. They highlight the need for more research, clinical trials, and data on menopause and its effects on various aspects of health. They also discuss the lack of representation and diversity in medical research and the importance of including minority populations in clinical trials. The conversation covers topics such as hot flashes, heart palpitations, glucose levels, and the significance of APOB and lipoprotein A in cardiovascular health. Dr. Morgan emphasizes the importance of personalized medicine and encourages women to prioritize their heart health and seek support during midlife. Takeaways Heart disease is the number one killer of women, and it becomes more prevalent during perimenopause and menopause. Symptoms of heart disease in women can be different from those in men, and it is important to recognize and normalize these symptoms. Cholesterol and statins are somewhat controversial in relation to heart disease prevention in women, but statins are generally recommended for women at risk. Testosterone may play a role in heart health for women, and further research is needed to understand its effects. Hormone therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in women, but there is still resistance to integrating this knowledge into cardiology practice. More research, clinical trials, and data are needed on menopause and its effects on various aspects of health. There is a lack of representation and diversity in medical research, and it is important to include minority populations in clinical trials. Hot flashes and heart palpitations are common symptoms of menopause and may be indicators of cardiovascular disease. Glucose levels, including pre-diabetes levels, can be a bellwether for future cardiovascular health. APOB and lipoprotein A are important factors to consider in cardiovascular health, and personalized medicine can play a significant role in treatment. Women should prioritize their heart health, seek support, and make informed decisions about their health during midlife. Special thanks to our sponsors!

275 Delaying Menopause - Understanding the Ovary Dr. Jennifer Garrison, a researcher and assistant professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, discusses her work on women's health and aging. She explains that her goal is to understand the underlying mechanisms of aging and develop interventions that promote women's health. Dr. Garrison focuses on the role of the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that controls various homeostatic systems in the body, including reproductive function. She emphasizes the importance of studying bioactive peptides, which act as chemical signals between the brain and other tissues. Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation for 12 months, but it also coincides with changes in ovarian function and the production of various chemical signals. Dr. Garrison highlights the need for further research to understand ovarian function and develop interventions to extend ovarian health. The conversation explores the work of the Center for Reproductive Longevity and Equality and the importance of maintaining ovarian function for healthy aging in women. The center funds grants to scientists and clinicians studying ovarian aging and has seen significant progress in the field. The discussion also touches on the use of frozen ovarian tissue for preserving fertility in cancer patients and the role of peptides in reproductive function. The conversation emphasizes the need to reframe the narrative around women's health and highlights the inequality in health span between men and women. Takeaways Understanding the underlying mechanisms of aging can lead to interventions that promote women's health. The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in regulating various homeostatic systems in the body, including reproductive function. Bioactive peptides act as chemical signals between the brain and other tissues, influencing various physiological processes.

272 When Medicine Fails You - Start A Company Monica Molenaar and Anne Fulenwider, co-founders of Alloy, discuss their journey into menopause and the creation of their company. They highlight the lack of information and inconsistent advice they received from doctors, leading them to start a platform that provides women with credible information, support, and access to hormone replacement therapy. They emphasize the importance of validation and listening to women's concerns, as well as the need for streamlined and efficient menopause care. They also discuss the barriers to accessing testosterone for women and the need for change in regulations and education. The conversation explores the safety and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal women. The speakers discuss the fear and misinformation surrounding HRT, emphasizing that it is a safe and effective treatment for menopause symptoms and can also have protective effects on the heart, bones, and brain. They highlight the importance of preserving function and quality of life in menopausal women and the need for a shift in the conversation around hormones from disease prevention to preservation of function. The speakers also discuss the international perspective on menopause and the challenges women face in accessing hormone therapy in different countries. Takeaways The lack of information and inconsistent advice from doctors led Monica and Anne to start Alloy. This platform provides women with credible information, support, and access to hormone replacement therapy. Validation and listening to women's concerns are crucial in menopause care, as many women have been dismissed or invalidated by healthcare providers. The barriers to accessing testosterone for women include its classification as a schedule three drug, the lack of FDA-approved dose for women, and the need for in-person prescriptions by knowledgeable practitioners. The stigma around menopause needs to be challenged, as it is a powerful time in a woman's life where she can take control and live life on her own terms. The telehealth technology and behavior changes during the COVID-19 pandemic have created an opportunity for improved access to menopause care. Alloy is focused on creating solutions for the problems women face in perimenopause and menopause, including addressing vaginal health, systemic hormones, and skincare. The safety and efficacy of hormones, including testosterone, need to be emphasized to overcome misconceptions and provide women with the full range of benefits. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a safe and effective treatment for menopause symptoms and can have protective effects on the heart, bones, and brain. The fear and misinformation surrounding HRT are unfounded, and women should have access to this treatment to improve their quality of life. The conversation around hormones should shift from disease prevention to preservation of function and quality of life in menopausal women. Access to hormone therapy is a challenge in many countries, and there is a need to spread awareness and improve access to treatment internationally. https://www.myalloy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/monica.molenaar/ https://www.instagram.com/annefulenwider/ Special thanks to our sponsor, Solv Wellness!

271. What Every Couple Needs To Know About Women's Hormones In this episode, Dr. Kelly Casperson discusses women's hormones and their impact on sexual health with sex therapist, Amanda Louder on her "Sex For Saints" podcast. She emphasizes that libido is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. The conversation focuses on perimenopause and postmenopause, highlighting the lack of education and information available to women in these stages of life. Dr. Casperson addresses the fear surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and explains that the Women's Health Initiative study in 2002 contributed to this fear. However, she emphasizes the numerous benefits of HRT, including decreased risk of heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders, musculoskeletal issues, and mood disorders. We discuss the importance of vaginal estrogen in maintaining vaginal health and preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs). We highlight the issues of cost and the FDA's black box warning on estrogen products, which she believes are outdated and misleading. Dr. Casperson also addresses the misconception around bioidentical hormones, explaining that they are the same as the hormones produced by the body and can be obtained through insurance-approved medications. She emphasizes the need for individualized hormone therapy and the importance of communication in navigating menopause and sexual health. Takeaways Libido is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. Perimenopause and postmenopause are stages of life that lack sufficient education and information for women. The fear surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is largely due to the Women's Health Initiative study in 2002. HRT has numerous benefits, including decreased risk of heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders, musculoskeletal issues, and mood disorders. Finding a knowledgeable healthcare provider and advocating for oneself is crucial in addressing women's sexual health concerns. Vaginal estrogen can be highly beneficial for women's sexual health, particularly in addressing issues such as chronic UTIs. Vaginal estrogen helps maintain vaginal health and reduces the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) by promoting a healthy acidic environment in the vagina. The cost of vaginal estrogen can vary significantly, but there are ways to find more affordable options, such as using online pharmacies and discount coupons. The FDA's black box warning on estrogen products is outdated and does not differentiate between systemic and vaginal estrogen. The safety of vaginal estrogen has been supported by multiple studies. Bioidentical hormones are the same as the hormones produced by the body and can be obtained through insurance-approved medications. The term 'bioidentical' is often used as a marketing tool. https://www.instagram.com/christiansexcoach/ https://amandalouder.com/blog/podcast/ Special thanks to our sponsor, Solv Wellness!

Dr. Eve Henry, an internal medicine physician, joins Dr. Kelly Casperson on the You Are Not Broken podcast to discuss the importance of optimizing health span and preventing disease. They emphasize the need for a shift in the medical system from disease management to wellness and prevention. They also highlight the role of hormones in women's health, particularly during perimenopause. They discuss the benefits of hormone therapy for symptom management and prevention of conditions like Alzheimer's disease. They address common myths and misconceptions about hormones and provide insights into the use of progesterone and birth control options for perimenopausal women. In this part of the conversation, Eve and Kelly discuss the dosing and cycling of hormones during perimenopause and menopause. They talk about the variability in dosing and the benefits of cycling hormones. They also touch on the use of progesterone and estradiol in hormone therapy and the importance of finding the right doses for each individual. They discuss the role of DHEA in perimenopause and the potential benefits of supplementing with it. They also emphasize the importance of comprehensive health assessments, including lab work, DEXA scans, coronary calcium scores, and VO2 max testing, to assess cardiovascular risk and overall health. Takeaways The medical system needs to shift from disease management to wellness and prevention. Hormone therapy can be beneficial for symptom management and prevention of conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Progesterone is an important hormone during perimenopause and can help alleviate symptoms. There are various birth control options available for perimenopausal women. Regular monitoring and individualized treatment are key in hormone therapy. Dosing and cycling of hormones during perimenopause and menopause can vary based on individual needs and symptoms. Progesterone is used to protect the uterus and is typically dosed at 100 milligrams for uterine protection during continuous hormone therapy. Cycling hormones can be beneficial for some women, but it may be challenging to track and can be discontinued if it causes discomfort. DHEA supplementation may be helpful for increasing testosterone levels and improving symptoms of low testosterone. Comprehensive health assessments, including lab work, DEXA scans, coronary calcium scores, and VO2 max testing, are important for assessing cardiovascular risk and overall health during perimenopause and beyond. https://www.instagram.com/drevehenry/ Special thanks to our sponsor, Solv Wellness!
