Why Everything You've Been Told About Hormone Therapy Is Wrong

Did you know that starting hormone replacement therapy has an ideal window, and starting it at the wrong time can actually impact your brain, bones, and heart? In this week's episode of Menopause Mastery, I’ll break down the science behind the critical window theory of hormone replacement therapy. Discover the truth about the Women's Health Initiative study that scared women away from hormones overnight, and learn why that poorly constructed study led to decades of misinformation. I explain how the average 63-year-old participants with existing cardiovascular disease don't represent the typical woman considering hormone therapy. Learn about the biological signals your body gives you - from sleep interruption and brain fog to the "Sahara desert" effect and joint pain - that indicate it's time to consider bioidentical hormone replacement. I reveal why progesterone decline starts in your late twenties, how testosterone affects memory and motivation, and why topical estrogen is the gold standard. Whether you're experiencing perimenopause symptoms in your 40s or wondering if it's "too late" to start hormones in your 60s, this episode provides the science-backed guidance you need to make informed decisions about your hormone health.   Links: Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/ Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/   Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Transform Your Hormones with These Simple Diet Tweaks

Are the "healthy" foods you're eating actually making your menopause symptoms worse? You might be shocked by what's sabotaging your progress.   In this episode of Menopause Mastery, I’ll reveal the hidden truth about foods that seem healthy but are actually triggering hormonal chaos during menopause. With over 20 years of experience helping women navigate menopause, I’ll explain why your metabolism decreases 15-20% during this transition and how certain foods are working against your body's new hormonal reality.   Discover why oatmeal and fruit, low-fat yogurts, and even that single egg with toast are spiking your cortisol, raising blood sugar, and making hot flashes worse. Learn about the three hormone-disrupting foods you must eliminate and the five powerful foods that can help reverse your symptoms - including one that reduced hot flashes by 70% in studies.   I share my client Sarah's success story - going from 15-20 hot flashes daily to just 3-4 by making simple dietary changes. Plus, get her practical tips on incorporating wild-caught salmon, omega-3 rich foods, and hormone-supporting nutrition into your daily routine.   Links: Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/ Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com     Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/     Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.
