    Bioidentical Hormones 101 with Dr. Anat Sapan

    FULL VIDEO EPISODE AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE In this episode of the Sweaty Pillow Podcast, Lara welcomes Dr. Anat Sapan, a board-certified OB/GYN and member of the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine, who has over 20 years of experience in the medical field specializing in menopause care. Dr. Anat shares her journey from traditional menopause treatment to discovering and advocating for personalized hormone therapy through her practice. Dr. Anat discusses the significant impact of the 2002 WHI study that drastically changed hormone replacement therapy practices, leading to widespread fear and misinformation. She explains how this study, despite being flawed and not peer-reviewed, caused millions of women to abandon hormone treatments, prompting a rise in inefficient alternative therapies. Dr. Anat explores the role of compounding pharmacies and the benefits of bioidentical hormones, sharing her personal struggles with menopause, which led her to explore and eventually champion the Menopause Method, a personalized approach to hormone therapy that has transformed her life and the lives of many of her patients. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in menopause, hormone therapy, and women's health as Dr. Anat provides invaluable expert insights and practical advice on navigating this often misunderstood phase of life.
