Summary
EP. 247: In this episode, I share my honest experience with hormone replacement therapy and unpack why HRT is not a guaranteed weight loss solution. In fact, sometimes it can even lead to weight gain! I walk through how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence appetite, insulin sensitivity, mood, and body composition, and why the wrong balance can sometimes lead to unexpected weight gain. I also explain how oral progesterone affects carb cravings, what is meant by the “Goldilocks” range for estradiol, and why how you feel means more than chasing perfect lab numbers, in my clinical opinion. Topics Discussed: → Does HRT cause weight gain? → Why am I gaining weight on progesterone? → Can hormone therapy help with menopause symptoms? → How estrogen affects metabolism in perimenopause? → Is HRT good for insulin resistance?
