In this explosive episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with integrative dietitian and menopause expert Esther Blum (Gwyneth Paltrow's menopause mentor!) to dissect the groundbreaking FDA panel meeting that happened just 10 days ago.

If you're tired of being terrorized by black box warnings on hormones that are actually SAFER than aspirin, this conversation will fire you up. Esther and Dr. Betty dive deep into the medical civil war happening right now—with brave physicians like Dr. Rachel Rubin, Dr. Kelly Casperson, and Dr. Vonda Wright fighting to remove these ridiculous warnings, while others like Dr. Jen Gunter continue to gaslight women into suffering.

But here's what really happened at that FDA meeting: Dr. Rachel Rubin testified about her own mother being in the hospital with urosepsis because doctors were too scared to prescribe vaginal estrogen. Yes, women are literally dying because of fear-mongering over hormones that have been safely used since the 1940s.

Esther doesn't hold back—calling out the "biggest misogynist of all" and revealing why this weaponization of women's healthcare is the largest travesty of our time. Plus, they tackle the scary new developments with mRNA food sprays, the protein propaganda in the New York Times, and why you need WAY more protein than you think (especially if you're over 40).

What You'll Learn:

-Why the black box warning on hormones is complete BS

-How to advocate for yourself with hormone-phobic doctors

-The real protein requirements for women over 40 (hint: it's not 5 grams from overnight oats)

-Why muscle protein synthesis changes as we age

-How to find hormone-literate providers in your area

-The documentation trick that makes doctors suddenly willing to prescribe

If you're ready to stop being gaslit about your hormone health and start fighting for the care you deserve, this episode is your battle cry.
