He emphasizes the importance of understanding these hormones, their effects, and the misconceptions surrounding them. The conversation also touches on the significance of finding the right hormonal balance and the potential risks associated with various hormone therapies. Episode Highlights: The recent flooding in Texas serves as a reminder of community support Understanding the basics of hormones is crucial for health The three types of estrogen The most effective form of estrogen Why you should avoid using estriol face creams Fiber intake and estrogen elimination Estradiol for women with a history of breast cancer Progesterone's role for women Why testosterone should not be overlooked in women's health How DHEA can be beneficial for women Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health!

134: The Menopause Waiting Game: Why 12 Months of Suffering Isn't Required 38:54

18 днів тому38:54

38:54

Menopause isn't a medical condition requiring endurance—it's a physiological transition that responds to intervention. While the diagnostic criteria demand 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea, waiting a full year to address debilitating symptoms defies clinical logic. When patients present with vasomotor symptoms, mood dysregulation, and menstrual irregularities, laboratory evaluation can provide diagnostic clarity before the arbitrary 12-month mark. The key is recognizing that symptom management doesn't require a completed diagnostic checklist. This episode dissects the diagnostic approach to menopause, examines the cultural mythology that keeps women suffering unnecessarily, and provides evidence-based perspectives on hormone replacement therapy. We'll explore the actual risk-benefit profile of HRT, the cardiovascular and skeletal implications of hormone deficiency, and why decades of misinterpreted data have created widespread HRT phobia. Because apparently, we needed a Women's Health Initiative study to convince everyone that horse urine hormones aren't ideal for human women. Episode Highlights: Clinical definitions and diagnostic nuances of perimenopause versus menopause Laboratory markers and symptom patterns that inform menopause diagnosis The overlooked significance of testosterone assessment in menopausal women How societal expectations perpetuate the "suffer in silence" mentality Deconstructing the HRT fear-mongering that followed flawed research interpretations Evidence-based rebuttal to the estradiol-breast cancer causation myth Comprehensive approach to symptom assessment and therapeutic options Risk-benefit analysis of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone therapy Comparative evaluation of progesterone and estrogen delivery methods Clinical consequences of testosterone deficiency in women Pre-treatment evaluation and contraindications for HRT initiation Role of genetic testing in personalizing hormone replacement protocols Distinguishing natural menopause from surgical menopause management strategies Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health!

133: The Science Shifts: New NAMS Study Reveals HRT Benefits Beyond 65 31:55

5 weeks тому31:55

31:55

In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone examines a paradigm-shifting study from the Journal of the North American Menopause Society that demolishes decades of unfounded hysteria surrounding hormone replacement therapy for women over 65. The research reveals that HRT—specifically estrogen therapy—administered beyond age 65 correlates with significant risk reductions across multiple disease categories: mortality, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, congestive heart failure, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and dementia. The findings underscore the critical importance of precision medicine approaches utilizing individualized protocols, lower dosing strategies, and non-oral delivery methods for optimal clinical outcomes. Episode Highlights The NAMS study that's rewriting the hormone therapy playbook for women over 65 Quantifiable risk reductions across nine major disease categories, including the holy grail of mortality reduction Why the data on breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer risk reduction should make us question everything we thought we knew The cardiovascular benefits that contradict decades of clinical paranoia: reduced congestive heart failure, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, and heart attacks Dementia risk reduction—because apparently estrogen is neuroprotective, not neurotoxic The vindication of individualized hormone therapy protocols using lower doses and transdermal delivery Estrogen monotherapy combined with progesterone: the life-extending intervention hiding in plain sight How this research obliterates the arbitrary age-based cutoffs that have dominated clinical practice Why your patients over 65 deserve a risk-benefit analysis based on actual science, not medical mythology The clinical implications for practitioners ready to abandon fear-based prescribing in favor of evidence-based care Episode Resources Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health!

131: Your Normal Is Different: Finding Your Hormonal Archetype 46:16

7 weeks тому46:16

46:16

“Your normal is different than everybody else’s.” There’s so much misinformation out there about hormones. The misunderstanding of the Women’s Health Initiative findings did massive damage to women’s health. It basically ruined an entire generation of physicians who now buy into the false narrative on the dangers of hormone replacement. Today I’m doing a review episode all about my book, The Hormone Balance Bible. I wrote the book not for you to read from cover to cover but so that you can look at the relevant sections as you go through certain stages of your life. In The Hormone Balance Bible, I break down the 12 hormonal archetypes and what to do to start the healing journey for each one. For this episode, I’m talking about how you can start figuring out which archetype you are, the characteristics of each type, symptoms you might be noticing, the kinds of women I see in my practice for each archetype, and more. Enjoy the episode! Highlights The concept and creation of the Hormone Balance Bible How I came up with the twelve hormonal archetypes Why it was important to me to include processes with which women could heal themselves Archetype #1: The Queen - Estrogen Dominance Archetype #2: The Unbalanced Heroine - Progesterone Deficiency Archetype #3: The Mother - High Estrogen, Low Progesterone Archetype #4: The Wise Woman - Menopause Archetype #5: The Workaholic - Excess Cortisol Archetype #6: The Saboteur - Low Cortisol Archetype #7: The Nun - Low Testosterone Archetype #8: The Warrior - High Testosterone Archetype #9: The Underdog - Hypothyroidism/Subclinical Hypothyroidism Archetype #10: The Overachiever - Hyperthyroidism Archetype #11: The Chairwoman - Estrogen Dominance + Excess Cortisol Archetype #12: The Philosopher The medical system's poor treatment of menopausal women Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health!
