Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains hormone replacement therapy and its claimed benefits: reduced heart disease and cancer risk, more energy, better sleep and mood, improved muscle function. He says contraindications are increasingly rare as understanding of sex hormones improves.
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.
