- Health & Fitness
Kyle and Candace chat with Natalie Gustafson, PharmD, pharmacist/owner of Lloyd Central Compounding Pharmacy: https://lcrx.com whose expertise and insights on bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) we have relied upon for nearly 2 decades!
In today’s episode, we review the basics of how and why bioidenticals work, who benefits, how to relieve symptoms, if and when you can’t take hormones, along with other important awarenesses – from bone, breast and cardiovascular health – to the threat from Big-Pharma that could limit our access to BHRT compounding and what we can do to protect our access to bioidenticals.
Some of the key talking points from our wide-ranging discussion :
The numerous benefits of BHRT and how without them disease risks increase dramatically after menopause
The results of the Women’s Health Initiative Study (WHI, 2002) that led to a 60-70% drop in prescribing of synthetic hormones and skyrocketing demand for BHRT
Non-hormonal, natural options for symptom relief in women with a history of breast cancer
Smart use of Calcium, Vitamin K2, & Magnesium to protect bone health/prevent osteoporosis
Why cardiovascular disease is actually a greater threat to women than breast cancer; what we can do to reduce the risks
How pushback from Big-Pharma since the WHI aims to limit the types of hormones compounding pharmacies can produce. We encourage you to contact your local representative/Senator to voice your concern, share your personal story and protect your access to bioidenticals: https://p3rx.org/
Information for patients about hormone compounding restriction concerns: https://compounding.com/
To help offset costs of BHRT not covered by insurance, get a GOODRX card https://www.goodrx.com &/or a Health Savings Account (HSA) to help cover costs.
