    #214: How Long Can I Stay on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

    Have you been considering going off your hormone replacement (HRT)? Think again! Hormone replacement therapy can have profound effects on everything from your bone density to your immune system. The place it impacts the most is your pelvic area and vagina! Whether it's a cream, patch, or pellet, the right HRT can be the key to maintaining the life you enjoy while keeping the dreaded "hormone poverty" at bay. 
    In this episode, I share if there actually is a certain amount of time you should stay on hormone replacements, what can happen if you stop taking them, and how they might be the thing that keeps you from truly aging post menopause!

    #211: Can You Heal Your Thyroid? with McCall McPherson

    Is your thyroid holding you back from living the life you want to live? Have you been told there’s nothing that can fix your thyroid issues and to just accept that this is what your life is now? If you can relate to this, know that you are alone and that there are things you can do to heal your thyroid.

    Today, McCall McPherson, the visionary behind Modern Thyroid Clinic, joins me on the podcast. Together, we dive deep into the different types of thyroid issues you may be experiencing, what conventional medicine is getting wrong about thyroid issues, and how you can take control and start to heal your thyroid!
    We talk more about:
    How McCall was able to reverse her Hashimoto’s (and how she does the same for her patients!)The link between the gut and autoimmune disordersWhy removing your thyroid is NOT the answer The best things to calm inflammation caused by a thyroid attack McCall’s thyroid medications recommendationsUnderstanding that what works during one season of life may not work during a different seasonThe right time to test your T3 levelsHow overmedicating the thyroid has become such a big issueAnd more!Get McCall’s free thyroid lab guide here: https://gift.modernthyroidclinic.com/
    More about McCall:
    McCall McPherson is the founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, a thyroid - centered functional medicine practice in Austin, Texas, and the owner and Chief-Hope-Giver of Thyroid Nation. She is a physician assistant, TEDx speaker and a thyroid and hormone expert by way of being a patient. Her passion for perfecting thyroid treatment stemmed from years of her suffering due to the mismanagement of her own hypothyroidism. Now she lives, breathes and thrives in understanding the nuances of proper thyroid care. Her philosophy is simple: There is no reason to still have thyroid symptoms. She spends her time with patients to help them get their lives back and teaching and advocating for the other millions suffering who aren’t her patients.

TJ@M ,

Hugely informative

This podcast has given me so much information I was lacking to make good decisions about my own health. I was in the dark about so many things going into perimenopause. Thank you Dr. Tabatha for shedding light on the things we need know to understand the changes in our body!

LakeMcQgirl ,

I learn something new with every podcast!

Thank you for bringing truth and wisdom to women! So many doctors are so sold in to only offering pharmaceutical and surgical solutions. I am so grateful to have your voice out there bringing functional perspectives. God bless your practice! Keep sharing your messages!
