Hormone Therapy Deep Dive: Topical, Transdermal, Oral… and When to Use Each with Dr. Anna Cabeca, DO

“It takes more than hormones to fix our hormones.” - Dr. Anna Cabeca

When it comes to vaginal health, pelvic floor health, and incontinence issues, hormones play a critial role. From the type of hormones to oral formulations, injections, and topicals, there are a lot of options for hormone therapy, from the delivery vehicle to the forms of hormones used.

At the same time, you can’t optimize hormone health through hormone replacement only. We have to take a holistic picture, starting with the gut, lifestyle, and stress management. This approach enables the body to resuscitate, repair, and rejuvenate itself, allowing it to function at its peak. At this point, hormone therapy can offer a complementary supporting role, increasing the opportunity for optimal health and wellness.

Today’s guest, triple board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Anna Cabeca, has been working with women in midlife for decades, and she’s an advocate for a holistic approach to hormone support, which she calls hormone replenishment.

In this episode, Dr. Anna and I discuss when to start thinking about supporting your hormones, the connection between gut health and hormone balance, the need for personalized treatment appraoches, detoxification pathways, and the use of topical hormones, Dr. Cabeca’s products for women in midlife, how her patients have improved their vaginal health and reversed incontinence in post-menopause, and more.

Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!
