Q&A with Karen Part 2: Cycling Progesterone Dos and Don’ts, Testosterone Levels for Women, Uterine Growths, Lyme Disease & Mold, Breakthrough Bleeding On HRT, and More!

The Hormone Solution with Karen Martel

Today I’m continuing on to part 2 of this Q&A session. We’ll hear all sorts of listener-submitted question recordings, starting off with a query about how to properly use HRT for people who have issues such as adenomyosis. Another question leads us into a discussion on using progesterone suppositories and dietary changes, such as adopting a paleo-based diet, to manage these conditions. We then transition to the complexities of hormone therapy amidst challenges like Lyme disease and mold exposure. Later, I’ll address the unique challenges faced by breast cancer survivors considering hormone therapy, offering both hormonal and non-hormonal strategies for relief.

In this episode:

  • How to effectively manage hormone levels for uterine health, including adenomyosis and fibroids.
  • Why progesterone suppositories can help mitigate estrogen-driven growths in uterine conditions.
  • How inflammation and immune activation influence uterine health and potential hormone imbalances.
  • Why a paleo-based diet and supplements like calcium D-glucarate aid in reducing inflammation.
  • How phytoestrogens like urolithin A impact estrogen receptor activity and overall wellness.
  • How bioidentical creams can alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.
  • Why estrogen dominance can lead to symptoms like water retention and heat intolerance.
  • Cycling tirzepatide and why many women choose to remain on it.
  • How hormone therapy considerations differ for breast cancer survivors with severe PMS.
  • Proof that using HRT can prevent cancer from returning.
  • Why understanding breast cancer types is crucial before considering hormone replacement therapy.
  • How community feedback contributes to improving hormone therapy products and services.
  • The use of methylene blue for taking care of post-cancer symptoms.
