Episode 49: SPONSORED Prescribing bioidentical hormones using DUTCH test w Dr. Lynne Mielke

It’s not often that I get to spend an hour chatting with a busy
clinician on pearls learned over years of practice. In today’s
podcast, I’m talking with long time integrative medical clinician
and anti-aging expert Lynne Mielke, MD about her approach to
bioidentical hormones and why the Precision Analytical DUTCH is her
preferred test for assessing HRT response. It’s her experience that
the “gold standard” blood tests often lead to over-prescribing, and
she commonly finds herself initiating tapers for those patients who
come to her already on biHRT. Lynne also shares with us her journey
to integrative medicine- as a psychiatrist, she faced the
limitations of her training when her son was diagnosed with autism.
As she puts it, she entered another world as she dove into
integrative, biomedical treatments for autism decades ago: “Given
the complexity of spectrum disorders, If you know how to treat
them, you know integrative medicine.” From there, she leaped into
anti-aging medicine, as parents of autistic children sought her
care. Dr. Mielke discusses her transition into practicing
integrative medicine, and what her clinic looks like today. ~DrKF
