Menopause Mastery

In this groundbreaking episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Daved Rosensweet—a physician with 55 years of experience who has been fighting for women's hormone rights since before most of us were born—to break down the game-changing FDA meeting that happened last week. For the first time in decades, the FDA is considering removing the black box warning from estrogen that has terrorized women and doctors for over 20 years. Dr. Rosensweet calls it "the biggest healthcare mistake of our time," and he's not wrong—this false warning has kept millions of women from life-saving hormone therapy. But here's what the media isn't telling you: the science has ALWAYS shown that women on hormones have LESS risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke than women who go untreated. Yes, you read that right—LESS risk, not more. Dr. Rosensweet and Dr. Betty dive deep into why compounding bioidentical hormones are the gold standard, how to find the right provider, and why every woman—regardless of age—deserves to investigate hormone therapy. They also tackle the controversial topic of testosterone for women and why it's not a "male hormone" but a human hormone essential for muscle preservation and brain health. What You'll Learn: -The real science behind hormone therapy and breast cancer risk -Why women who've HAD breast cancer are actually safer on hormones -The truth about compounding pharmacies vs. commercial hormones -Why symptom relief isn't enough—you need proper testing -How to find a qualified hormone specialist -Why it's never "too late" to start hormone therapy If you're tired of being scared away from the hormones your body desperately needs, this episode will give you the courage and knowledge to take back control of your health.

Tired of chasing "skinny" and feeling weaker than ever? It's time to chase strength instead. In this empowering episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Anne-Marie Chaker, former Wall Street Journal journalist turned strength training advocate and author of "Lift: How Women Can Reclaim Their Physical Power and Transform Their Lives." Anne-Marie's transformation story will blow your mind—from struggling with postpartum depression, grief, and a crumbling marriage to discovering the life-changing power of lifting heavy weights. But this isn't just about fitness; it's about reclaiming your power as a woman in a world that's been telling you to be "less" your entire life. Discover why our ancestors were built like elite rowers, how the "skinny obsession" is actually a modern patriarchal construct designed to keep women small and controllable, and why strength training is literally survival for women over 40. Plus, Anne-Marie reveals the shocking historical evidence that women have always been warriors—not delicate flowers picking berries. Dr. Betty and Anne-Marie dive deep into the bone-building benefits of strength training (crucial for preventing osteoporosis), the right way to fuel your workouts, and why that "high reps, low weight" advice is keeping you weak. They also tackle the persistent myth that women will "bulk up" and share practical tips for getting started—even with soup cans! What You'll Learn: Why chasing "skinny" is sabotaging your health and happiness The fascinating anthropological evidence that women were built to be strong How strength training transforms your confidence, not just your body The protein requirements for women over 40 (hint: it's way more than you think) Why resistance training is your best defense against bone loss Simple ways to start strength training at home or in the gym If you're ready to stop shrinking yourself and start building the strong, powerful woman you were meant to be, this episode is your wake-up call.

Feeling exhausted and can't figure out why? The answer might be hiding in your gut and mitochondria. In this eye-opening episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with functional medicine expert Laura Frontiero to uncover the real root causes behind midlife energy crashes. If you're tired of being told "it's just your age" or searching for that one magic solution, this conversation will change everything.

If you're a woman in midlife struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or mysterious symptoms that conventional medicine can't explain, this episode gives you the roadmap to reclaim your energy and health. Key Topics Covered: Why your gut terrain matters more than which bacteria you have The hidden connection between toxins and chronic infections Mitochondria: your cellular powerhouses and why they're failing The right order for healing (hint: start with pooping!)

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.
