A short YouTube monologue by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter (Pinnacle wellness) explaining what hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and functional medicine can do: he lists reduced heart disease and some cancer risks, increased energy, reduced fatigue, improved muscle function, exercise tolerance, sleep, and mood, and asserts that objections to HRT are increasingly weak though some rare contraindications remain.
We often get the question here at Pinnacle in our wellness program, what exactly can hormone replacement therapies? What can functional medicine, what can this approach do for me? So what does hormone replacement therapy do for us? Well, it can decrease our risk of heart disease. It can decrease our risk of certain types of cancers. It can increase our energy, reduce fatigue, improve our muscle function, improve our exercise tolerance, our sleep, our mood. There's a lot of things that hormone replacement therapies can help with, and the argument against hormone replacement therapy is pretty weak at this point. There are certain types of situations where we wouldn't do hormone replacement therapies, but those are actually becoming more and more rare as we learn more and more about how important hormone replacement therapy and the function of the human sex hormones are.
