Physiologic HRT: Rethinking Women's Hormones

Описание: In this episode of The Dr. Lo Show, Dr. Noel sits down with Mai Tran, Pharm D, a compounding pharmacist and Director of Clinical Education at Harbor Compounding Pharmacy, to unpack why hormones are the low‑hanging fruit of women’s health. They dive into physiologic hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—an approach that mimics a healthy menstrual cycle—versus standard “low dose” HRT, and explore how the right form, dose, and rhythm of hormones can profoundly impact brain health, bones, cardiovascular system, libido, mood, skin, hair, and joints.
Along the way, they debunk long‑standing fears about estrogen and cancer, explain what the Women’s Health Initiative really showed, and discuss how to personalize hormone care using labs and cycle mapping. If you’ve ever been told to “just accept” getting older, feeling flat, or losing your spark, this conversation offers a different option.
