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.

Beating Breast Cancer – Episode 1852

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1852 – On this Saturday show, Deanna joins Vinnie to discuss beating breast cancer, drugs and libidos, and more. The two both get real about their experiences.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BEATING BREAST CANCER

  • Deanna beat breast cancer.
  • She was diagnosed over four years ago.
  • The chemo nearly killed her.
  • However, she thinks that all things considered, it went well because she was already living a healthy lifestyle.
  • Even four years later, she still feels she has repercussions. 
    • She has to be on hormones.
  • Vinnie had a similar experience. 
  • One thing they both experienced: lost libidos.
    • And, when Deanna was on chemo, she could not have sex.
    • Afterward, it was incredibly painful, in part because they induced menopause with her meds.
  • She was also grateful to eat healthy and look good before her mastectomy as it can be difficult for many.
    • She didn’t feel beautiful for awhile — it took her time to overcome that.
  • Over the past year, she’s been feeling and looking much better.
