Have you been told that hormone replacement is dangerous—only to keep suffering through symptoms your doctor calls "normal aging"? In this episode of The Resiliency Method® Podcast, Dr. Erika Schultz talks with Dr. Aimee Duffy, a board-certified physician and bioidentical hormone specialist, about the real story behind the Women's Health Initiative study, why so many women were needlessly taken off hormone therapy, and what true bioidentical, physiologic hormone replacement actually looks like. Dr. Duffy shares her journey from delivering babies to becoming a leading voice in women's hormone health, breaks down the difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormones, explains why she avoids hormone pellets, and reveals how saliva and urine testing offer a far more accurate picture than standard blood work. If you've ever wondered whether hormone replacement could be right for you—or been told to just "manage" your symptoms—this conversation offers clarity, context, and a path forward. - - - - - Restore balance, regain energy, and support your overall hormone health with Dr. Erika: https://www.drerikaonline.com/hormones - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Aimee Duffy, MD, is a board-certified physician, entrepreneur, and president of the North Carolina Integrative Medical Society.
