This is the episode we’ve been waiting over a decade to record.

The FDA has quietly removed the black box warning from ALL female hormone replacement therapy — a silent admission that the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study destroyed women’s health for an entire generation. No press conference. No apology. Just millions of women who suffered needlessly while the truth was buried.

Matt and Amy pull no punches:

• How one terrible study on 70-year-old women using horse-derived synthetic hormones terrified the planet
• The overnight panic that made women flush their hormones and doctors rip patients off treatment
• The heartbreaking fallout: shattered bones, exploding heart disease, dementia, depression, lost marriages
• Why bioidentical hormones aren’t just safe — they’re powerfully protective against osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, and more
• What this FDA reversal actually means for women RIGHT NOW

This is the biggest reversal in modern women’s health — and it should have happened 20+ years ago.

If you’ve ever been told “hormones are dangerous,” “just deal with the hot flashes,” or “it’s just aging,” this episode will set you free.

Join Matt and Amy as they expose the hidden influence of Big Pharma on modern medicine and hormone health. In this eye-opening episode, they reveal how early 20th-century medical education reforms—funded by the Rockefeller Foundation—pushed natural and bioidentical hormone therapies out of standard care in favor of patentable synthetic drugs. From thyroid misdiagnosis to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), they break down the myths, share patient success stories, and explain why hormone optimization—not suppression—is the key to energy, mental clarity, libido, and longevity. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by the system, this episode arms you with the truth to take back control of your health.

Welcome back to Look Good & Feel Good with Matt and Amy!

Today we’re handling the 🔴 RED PILL.

Remember the scene in The Matrix? Blue pill = stay asleep in “blissful” ignorance.

Red pill = eyes wide open to the truth.

We took the red pill when we learned:

✅ “Normal” labs are NOT optimal

✅ Big Pharma & insurance LOVE you sick & refilling

✅ Doctors get <1 hour of hormone training

✅ Men in their 20s now test at grandpa levels

✅ Feeling tired, moody, or zero libido is NOT “just aging”

We used to believe the lie too… until we sat in that hormone course next to a 25-year veteran family doc whose jaw was on the floor. We looked at each other and said, “We’ve been DUPED.”

Now we can’t unsee it—and we refuse to let YOU stay stuck.

In this episode you’ll discover:

0:00 The red pill we swallowed

1:12 Why “normal” testosterone keeps dropping every decade

3:45 The statin-to-refill treadmill nobody talks about

6:20 Real patient story: suicidal dad → football-with-kids dad in 6 months

9:01 How to know if YOU need the red pill (free symptom checker in comments)

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood hormones out there—estradiol. We’ll uncover how this so-called “female hormone” is actually vital for both men and women, supporting brain function, mood, libido, and heart health. You’ll learn why estradiol doesn’t cause cancer, doesn’t make men “feminine,” and why balanced levels are essential for longevity and feeling your best.

Why "grading on a curve" is a horrible idea when it comes to individual patient care.

Conclusion and Final ThoughtsIn this episode, we dive into a powerful truth — so many of us have forgotten what it even feels like to feel good. As we get older, we tend to normalize fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and mood swings as just part of aging. But what if they’re not? We unpack how chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels quietly impact your hormones, energy, and overall health — and how hormone dysfunction has become far too normalized in today’s world. This conversation is all about helping you recognize the signs your body’s been sending, and taking back control of your health so you can actually feel good again.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, we share what it’s really like to build a business together as a married couple—the wins, the challenges, and the lessons learned along the way. From balancing our personal and professional lives to navigating disagreements and celebrating milestones, we open up about what we’ve discovered about partnership, both in life and in business.

At the end of the day, how you feel determines how you live. In this episode, we dive into what it really means to become the CEO of your own health. We have a real choice in the way we age in life. Too often, people wait until something goes wrong before taking action — but the truth is, your health is your most valuable investment because it is an investment in your quality of life.

This episode exposes the flaws of the American medical system and why it often feels like doctors and insurance companies are more focused on managing illness rather than preventing it in the first place. Preventative medicine—simple, proactive steps that could protect your long-term health—is often overlooked because insurance rarely covers it. Instead, the system waits until you’re sick and feeling crappy, when treatment is more complicated, more expensive, and sometimes too late. This conversation will open your eyes to why the current model keeps patients dependent and what needs to change to truly prioritize true health over disease management.
