Sponsored: In Pursuit of Best Practice for Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT)

As a functional medicine clinician and scientist, I absolutely
appreciate the deep literature dives my colleagues take. When they
come up for air, there is a synthesized body of knowledge that is
riveting, satisfying to listen to, trust-worthy and, most
importantly, practice-changing. Such was my conversation on all
things menopausal hormone therapy with Dr. Doreen Saltiel,
currently consulting for Precision Analytical (they’re lucky to
have her). She spent the bulk of her impressive career as an
interventional cardiologist (although confesses she wanted to go
into OBGYN) and jumped into integrative and functional medicine
after her own “ah-ha” healing journey, involving hormone
replacement therapy, relatively early on in her life. The first
solid debunking Doreen provides are the findings from WHI. IT’S
TIME these ideas are PUT TO BED. I asked Dr. S about the political
backstory for the WHI debacle – it’s a good listen, and like me,
you’ll probably want to read more. We then dive into the solid body
of evidence for transdermal estradiol, oral progesterone. We
discuss compounding, dosing, testing, addressing metabolites … and
SO MUCH MORE. Keep a pen or your phone handy for note-taking,
there’s tons of info in this podcast. Thanks as always, to
Precision Analytical, creators of the DUTCH test, for bringing Dr.
Saltiel to our listeners. She’s incredible! Please share New
Frontiers with your network, and if you would be so kind, leave us
a comment and review wherever you listen. As always, thank you
listening! ~DrKF
