All about HRT including rhythmic dosing, Estradiol vs. Bi-Est & more with Dr. Felice Gersh PART 2

In this episode, I continue my conversation with special guest, Dr. Felice Gersh, diving into the various phases of the menstrual cycle and the fascinating world of cyclical hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: 1️⃣ The menstrual cycle is a highly orchestrated dance of hormones, influencing cellular health and receptor functionality. By understanding its different phases, we can better understand the impact of hormones on our overall well-being. 2️⃣ Estrogen and progesterone play protective roles in the menstrual cycle, preventing cell damage, reducing inflammation, and even turning on tumor suppressor genes. The natural ebb and flow of these hormones is crucial for optimal health. 3️⃣ While perpetual hormone use may have its benefits, prioritizing natural methods of managing menstrual health is preferable. Harnessing the power of our body's natural rhythm can lead to long-term balance and prevent the development of age-related diseases. So, grab your favorite cup of tea, and don't miss this enlightening conversation. Felice L.
