120: An interview with a mentor of mine, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, cutting through myths about HRT.

Tara sits down with one of her mentors, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, to have an important conversation about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and why so many women are left in the dark when it comes to their options. Dr. Rosensweet has been at the forefront of bioidentical hormone therapy for years, and in this episode, he shares his deep expertise on how to approach HRT safely and effectively.

They break down the fears and misconceptions that have prevented countless women from getting the support they need and discuss why personalized hormone therapy should be the standard—not the exception. Whether you're currently using HRT, considering it, or just want a better understanding of your options, this episode is a must-listen.

Key Talking Points

• Why hormones matter—they're not just about reproductive health, but essential for brain function, bone strength, and overall vitality.
• The shocking truth about declining hormone levels—they start dropping in your 20s and never stop.
• How misinformation about hormone therapy has kept women suffering needlessly.
• The Women's Health Initiative study—how it wrongly created fear around hormones and what the real science says.
• Bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones—why the form of hormones you use makes a massive difference.
• When to start hormone therapy—(hint: the earlier, the better).
• The importance of individualized dosing—why one-size-fits-all approaches don't work.
• How to find a knowledgeable provider who truly understands hormone therapy.
