Hormone health is one of the most misunderstood areas of medicine. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Salome Masghati, MD, FACOG, a board-certified OB/GYN, fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, and functional medicine practitioner, to discuss the science of optimizing women's health through evidence-based hormone therapy. Dr. Masghati combines traditional gynecology with preventive, longevity-focused care and has extensive experience helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause, fertility, and individualized hormone optimization.

Together we explore:

• Why women feel "different" in their 30s, 40s, and beyond
• Perimenopause vs. menopause—what's actually happening?
• The truth about estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
• Common myths surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
• Estrogen's role in cardiovascular, brain, and bone health
• Sexual wellness and quality of life
• Individualized hormone therapy vs. one-size-fits-all protocols
• Functional medicine and evidence-based women's healthcare
• Longevity medicine and optimizing health for decades to come

Whether you're experiencing fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, low libido, sleep problems, mood changes, or simply want to better understand your hormones, this conversation is packed with practical information and current medical evidence.

Can we eliminate the leading cause of death and disability? Medicine in 2026 is changing faster than ever before—and the evidence for aggressive lipid lowering has never been stronger.In this lecture for the Osteopathic Society of Integrative Medicine, I review the latest science behind lipid-lowering therapy, ApoB reduction, plaque regression, and cardiovascular prevention. We'll explore why the goal of modern preventive medicine isn't just helping people live longer—it's helping them stay healthier, stronger, and independent for more years.Topics include:Why ApoB is the true driver of atherosclerosisThe newest evidence on LDL and ApoB targets for plaque stabilization and regressionStatins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors, bempedoic acid, inclisiran, and combination therapyWhy morbidity (heart attacks, strokes, disability, hospitalizations) matters just as much as mortalityThe evidence from tens of millions of patient-years demonstrating reductions in cardiovascular eventsPrimary prevention vs. secondary preventionHow lipid lowering fits into the broader field of human optimization and longevity medicinePractical strategies for implementing evidence-based prevention in everyday clinical practiceThis lecture challenges outdated approaches to cardiovascular prevention and demonstrates why aggressively treating atherosclerosis before symptoms develop may be one of the most powerful interventions available in modern medicine.Because the goal isn't simply adding years to life—it's adding life to years.If you enjoy evidence-based discussions on preventive cardiology, longevity medicine, hormone optimization, and primary care, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share.
