You Are Not Broken

195. 8 Truths About Hormones


Listen Later

I get so many hormone questions!  So I needed a podcast to refer people to.

I hope I did okay covering the basics and deep diving into some more complicated details.

Enjoy!

1. Sex and Menopause

2. Systemic versus Vaginal Hormones

3. Estrogen Doesn't Cause Cancer

4. We gendered hormones and how this hurts women

5. Natural is a weapon waged to keep us in our place

6. Pellets and compounds are to be avoided if better options are available

7. You never need to stop hormones

8. The FDA will not help us (the two cases of Testosterone and Alzheimer's disease). 

(bonus) I hate the word "balanced" when discussing hormones.  Pro tip - people are probably just trying to sell you something.
