Episode 2687 – Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Laura Buchanan to discuss fears behind the Women’s Health Initiative and the many benefits of hormone therapy.
The Benefits of Hormone Therapy
- Lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the number of medications a person needs to take. (2:30)
- The number of drugs that are being prescribed keeps increasing; however, how much and for how long can the body take multiple medications without further debilitating the body? (7:00)
- Vinnie has questions about hormones. (14:00)
- The Women’s Health Initiative announcement was based on incorrect information and a flawed study.
- The downside is that fear still surrounds it many decades later, so women have been denied treatment options.
- Dr. Buchanan explains how the study was done and the flaws within it.
- Hormone Therapy can be so impactful for a woman’s life. (28:30)
- There are many options available today for estrogen, progesterone, and, if necessary, testosterone.
- Treatment can increase quality of life. Both transdermal and vaginal estrogen can be highly effective for all kinds of symptoms. (34:00)
- Vinnie asks about DHEA. (41:00)
- DHEA is more complicated because it’s the precursor to the other hormones.
- Bioidentical hormones are regulated appropriately by the FDA.
- Testosterone does not appear to increase prostate cancer risk. However, if you are on treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, it should not be taken. (54:00)
- Systemic estrogen (as in patches) is approved for bone loss prevention. (57:00)
- It also helps decrease cardiovascular risk, anxiety and depression, dementia, diabetes, and many other health issues.
- The closer you start it to menopause, the more helpful it is.
