In this episode, I take a closer look at compounded medications—what they are, when they’re used, and the important nuances behind their growing popularity.
From hormone therapy and menopause care to semaglutide and GLP-1s, compounded meds are often described as personalized solutions. But these treatments exist in a regulatory gray area, with real variability in quality, safety, and effectiveness.
This episode is about cutting through confusion—without judgment or hype—and offering context to help you better understand your options.
What You’ll LearnMany people don’t realize that compounded medications aren’t FDA-approved—and that doesn’t automatically make them dangerous or ineffective. But it does mean they operate by different rules. This episode offers a grounded look at what’s happening behind the scenes and why these treatments are increasingly common in women’s health and beyond.
