  • Résumé

  • Empowering women (and the partners who love them) to live their best mid lives. Combining the power of mind-work, body-science and relationships, I joyously smash the societal barriers that are keeping us from living our best intimate lives. Whether you are young or past menopause, single or in a long-term relationship, it is never too late or too early to realize YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. With humor, candor and ease, I break down the stories that we have been told about being sexual beings, to help us play, and normalize our intimacy and health. Nothing in this podcast is personal medical advice, of course.

Dr. Lobo also delves into the impact of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on hormone therapy and the importance of individualized treatment. He emphasizes the need for informed consent and personalized approaches to hormone therapy based on factors such as age, risk assessment, and transdermal delivery. The conversation also touches on the role of progesterone in protecting the uterine lining and the potential risks of bioidentical hormones. In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Roger Lobo discuss the use of hormone therapy for primary prevention in women.

Dr. Lobo mentions advancements in the field, including the use of estetrol and selective estrogen receptor modulators. Takeaways Misdiagnosis and lack of understanding are common in areas such as PCOS and menopause. The WHI study led to a generation of women being undertreated due to misconceptions about hormone therapy. Hormone therapy should be individualized based on factors such as age, risk assessment, and transdermal delivery. Progesterone is important for protecting the uterine lining in hormone therapy. Bioidentical hormones may still carry risks and should be monitored. There is controversy and lack of consensus among healthcare providers regarding the use of hormone therapy for primary prevention in women. Education is crucial to ensure that healthcare providers are knowledgeable about hormone therapy and can provide accurate information to patients.

    291. Do The Boomers Have A Choice? Rethinking Timing of Hormones
    Nov 17 2024
    In this episode of the You're Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Corinne Menn discuss the recent paper by Sasha Taylor and Susan Davis that revisits the recommendations for initiating menopausal hormone therapy. They explore the arbitrary nature of age cutoffs for hormone therapy, the timing hypothesis, and the implications of the Women's Health Initiative data. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the risks and benefits of hormone therapy, particularly for women over 60, and addresses common misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy and its effects on bone health and dementia. The episode concludes with a call to action for women to advocate for their health and seek appropriate hormone therapy. Takeaways Millions of women feel they have been overlooked in hormone therapy discussions. The age cutoffs for hormone therapy initiation are arbitrary and not based on solid evidence. The timing hypothesis suggests that starting hormone therapy earlier can lead to better health outcomes. The Women's Health Initiative data is often misinterpreted and does not reflect the current understanding of hormone therapy. Hormone therapy can provide long-term benefits for bone health and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Many women experience symptoms beyond hot flashes that can persist for years after menopause. The risks associated with hormone therapy are often overstated and misunderstood. Women over 60 should not be denied hormone therapy based solely on age or years since menopause. Dementia risk associated with hormone therapy is not as significant as previously thought, especially with proper medication choices. Women need to advocate for their health and seek out hormone therapy options that are safe and effective. Taylor S, Davis SR. Is it time to revisit the recommendations for initiation of menopausal hormone therapy? Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2024 Oct 14:S2213-8587(24)00270-5. doi: 10.1016/S2213-8587(24)00270-5.
