Today, I am excited to connect with Dr. Daved Rosensweet, the founder of The Institute of BioIdentical Medicine and The Menopause Method, a leading expert in andropause and menopause treatment, and an internationally recognized lecturer and presenter with over 30 years of experience. Dr. Rosensweet has written three books, including his latest, Happy Healthy Hormones.
In our discussion today, we dive into factors that influence long-term health and cognitive function during menopause, exploring strategies to help you avoid becoming a nursing home patient. We look at the role of hormone replacement therapy, the neurocognitive shifts that occur in perimenopause and menopause, why pellet therapy may not be the best choice for most women, and the impact of the Women’s Health Initiative. Dr. Rosensweet also shares valuable insights on the differences between compounded and synthetic HRT, the importance of testing, and the best routes of administration, and we examine what happens to hormone receptors more than a decade into menopause and how to support brain health by maintaining optimal estrogen levels.
This insightful conversation with Dr. Rosensweet is invaluable, so you may want to listen to it more than once.
