Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy

Living to 100 Club

This Living to 100 Club podcast introduces our audience to Hormone Replacement Therapy. We discuss the use of all natural hormones that ease the degenerative side effects of aging. Our guest, Dr. Greg Brannon, is the Founder and Medical Director of Optimal Bio. This company specializes in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). We learn how BHRT is different from the usual therapy with synthetic hormone replacement. BHRT uses hormones that are identical to hormones made by our body. Our guest explains how BHRT combats fatigue, osteoporosis, and headaches as well as the toxins that we are exposed to in our everyday environment. Dr. Brannon maintains these changes are attributable to decreasing levels of hormones, not to aging itself. How is this treatment applied and how frequently is it needed? And, most importantly, why is it so effective in the face of reduced rates of testosterone and estrogen in contemporary society? Be sure to tune in to this insightful conversation with a medical authority in hormone replacement therapy.
