Show Notes

Maria, an FDN practitioner, and Kristin, an NTP Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition, are plainspoken friends and practitioners who share a passion for women’s health, especially women’s health at midlife. As both are themselves menopausal, they’ve refined the art and science of thriving as a midlife woman based on both clinical and personal experience. They combine individualized nutrition and lifestyle changes tailored to midlife women’s needs with mindset coaching, lab testing and hormone replacement therapy education to help women thrive so that they can stop or prevent their health from spinning out of control.

Maria and Kristin share their journey from general nutrition to specialized hormonal health in this episode. We explore the profound impacts of hormones on aging, focusing on the roles of senescent cells and hormone replacement therapy. Maria and Kristin reveal surprising insights about estrogen receptors and the importance of maintaining optimal hormone levels for overall health, from hair and joints to brain and vascular health. They emphasize the benefits of cyclical progesterone dosing and debunk common myths surrounding estriol and estradiol in HRT, advocating for a personalized approach to hormone therapy.

In this episode:

Why hormone replacement therapy impacts overall health beyond symptom relief.
How estrogen receptors are located in unexpected areas like the eyes and ears.
Why maintaining optimal hormone levels benefits hair, joints, brain, and vascular health.
How hormone cycling can mimic the body’s natural rhythms for better health outcomes.
Why cyclical progesterone dosing is preferred over static hormone dosing.
How static dosing can lead to issues like breakthrough bleeding and water retention.
Why estradiol is often misunderstood and feared despite its protective benefits.
How high doses of estriol can cause adverse effects such as insulin resistance.
Why incorporating topical progesterone can benefit women sensitive to oral forms.
Why understanding hormone health is important beyond just managing symptoms.

Why women often receive inadequate medical support during menopause.
How misconceptions about hormone therapy can isolate and misinform women.
Why there is a need for more research using bioidentical hormones.
How upcoming studies aim to compare traditional HRT to physiologic restoration.
