In this episode, Amy interviews Angie Nichols from Tier 1 Health and Wellness about women's hormones. They discuss when women should start considering optimizing their hormones, symptoms and diagnosis of PCOS, recommended hormone testing, the effects of low testosterone levels, preferred delivery methods for hormones, concerns with testosterone pellets, optimal levels and delivery methods for progesterone and estradiol, and addressing concerns about hormone therapy and breast cancer. The conversation covers topics related to synthetic hormones, birth control, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and hormone treatment options. Angie provides insights into the differences between synthetic and bio-identical hormones, the risks associated with synthetic hormones, and the impact of birth control pills on hormone levels. She also discusses the symptoms and diagnosis of PCOS, as well as various treatment options, including thyroid medication, progesterone, metformin, and spironolactone. Angie shares her personal hormone routine and expresses concerns about the mismanagement of hormone therapy and the influence of big pharma in the healthcare industry.

Takeaways

Synthetic hormones are chemically altered and not bio-identical to the hormones produced by the body. They can have more side effects and may increase the risk of certain health conditions.
Birth control pills can affect hormone levels, including reducing testosterone in women and potentially impacting athletic performance.
Diagnosing PCOS involves evaluating symptoms, hormone levels (such as FSH, LH, and testosterone), and using diagnostic criteria. However, there is a need for updated and standardized diagnostic criteria.
Individualized hormone therapy can help manage symptoms and improve overall health, but there is a lack of awareness and support for this approach in mainstream medicine.
There are concerns about the mismanagement of hormone therapy and the influence of big pharma on healthcare decisions and access to treatment.
