In this episode of Fearlessly Authentic, I sit down with hormone expert ( he is also my doctor) Dr. Marko Lujic to discuss hormone replacement therapy and why it is so important to the health of menopausal women. In the past, there has been misinformation spread that has scared many women away from using HTR, but Dr. Lujic wants to empower women to optimize their health and live better after menopause.

Dr. Marko Lujic is a renowned hormone expert and longevity specialist dedicated to helping individuals optimize their health through personalized hormone therapy, nutrition, and fitness strategies. With extensive experience in hormonal health, anti-aging medicine, and functional wellness, Dr. Lujic has guided countless patients in navigating perimenopause, menopause, and other hormonal imbalances. His approach focuses on evidence-based treatments, proper lifestyle modifications, and a deep understanding of how hormones impact overall well-being.

Dr. Lujic is passionate about debunking myths around HRT and empowering people with the knowledge they need to make informed health decisions. His work emphasizes that hormonal health isn't just about replacing what's lost—it's about optimizing your body for strength, vitality, and longevity.
