The Hormone Solution with Karen Martel PART 2 Q&A: DHEA, Nipple & Breast Pain, Estrogen for The Face, Progesterone Dosing, HRT After 70, Hormone Testing Frequency
Today I’m getting back to answering your questions, after discovering some Instagram messages that I didn’t address in the last Q&A episode. We’ll uncover the pivotal role of DHEA as a hormone supplement and how it can boost your energy, improve sleep, and rekindle libido. There are also some tips to be shared regarding practical solutions for managing common HRT side effects like breast pain, and we’ll highlight the significance of iodine and supplements like primrose oil and NAC. For those reintroducing HRT, I offer guidance on consulting knowledgeable practitioners, plus cost-effective strategies for hormone health.
In this episode:
- Why DHEA is a crucial hormone supplement for energy, sleep, and libido.
- How oral DHEA is preferred over topical forms due to fewer side effects.
- The importance of individualized hormone therapy, including potential testosterone supplementation.
