Dr. Erika Schwartz is a pioneer in the use of bio-identical hormones for preventing illness and their direct link to overall wellness, as well as their interconnection with diet, sleep, and stress management.
She joins the show to discuss the world of hormones: what’s lifestyle-driven, what’s hormone-based, and how to know the difference. She breaks down the powerful role of estrogen (including topical use) to the balancing effects of progesterone, the impact of testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal health, in addition to each of these players' effects on energy, mood, metabolism, and longevity.
We also cover PCOS, when it may be time to start HRT, and the best timing for blood work to get accurate results. Whether you’re curious about optimizing hormones for the first time or deep in research, this conversation brings clarity to a confusing space—merging science with real-life application.
