Today I'm getting back to answering your questions, after discovering some Instagram messages that I didn't address in the last Q&A episode. We'll uncover the pivotal role of DHEA as a hormone supplement and how it can boost your energy, improve sleep, and rekindle libido. There are also some tips to be shared regarding practical solutions for managing common HRT side effects like breast pain, and we'll highlight the significance of iodine and supplements like primrose oil and NAC. For those reintroducing HRT, I offer guidance on consulting knowledgeable practitioners, plus cost-effective strategies for hormone health.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why DHEA is a crucial hormone supplement for energy, sleep, and libido.
  • How oral DHEA is preferred over topical forms due to fewer side effects.
  • The importance of individualized hormone therapy, including potential testosterone supplementation.
  • Managing common HRT side effects like breast tenderness and pain.
  • Why both estrogen and progesterone can contribute to breast pain.
  • Practical solutions such as switching to progesterone cream for alleviating symptoms.
  • The role of iodine in breast health and the importance of proper supplements.
  • Benefits of primrose oil and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for breast pain and estrogen metabolism.
  • Practical advice on starting with low doses, like a 0.25 milligram estrogen patch.
  • Cost-effective strategies for managing hormone health, including affordable hormone testing options.
  • The benefits of group coaching and over-the-counter hormone creams as budget-friendly alternatives.
  • Advice on managing hormone health through regular hormone testing and lab panels.
  • Why ongoing engagement and participation are crucial for successful hormone health management.
