Dr. Betty Murray argues that hormone replacement therapy addresses more than hot flashes: it improves mood, brain fog, and heart palpitations by reversing the hormonal decline that accelerates aging. She discusses combining HRT with micro-doses of GLP agents for anti-inflammatory benefits, emphasizing the need for a knowledgeable provider and careful dose adjustment based on metabolic markers.
Hormone replacement therapy not only gets rid of hot flashes and night sweats, it might help with your mood, depression, anxiety, brain fog, heart palpitations. Menopause has a stiff arc of aging, and we know that there is this kind of increase that we see that's exponential when we hit 40. And a lot of that is the hormone chaos. And probably the most powerful longevity thing we can do is replace the hormones that are missing because of loss of ovarian function. And so when we put those hormones Yeah. So, when we put hormones in and we stack a GLP, and especially for somebody that might need a GLP that is microdosed, so we get the anti-inflammatory effects, but we don't induce some of the digestive and nausea-related symptoms, you want to make sure you're working with somebody that can see both. So, you wanna ask your provider if you've tried the medications before and they're too much, ask if you can start a low dose, ask if we can evaluate my inflammatory glucose levels, my appetite response, Yeah. —escalating the dose because what you may find is that you're getting metabolic improvement without having starvation.
