[Susan] I’m Susan Bratton, your trusted hot sex adviser. I’m with my friend Dr. Glenn Wilcox of Wise Medicine in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We’re talking specifically bioidentical hormone therapy. Watch our past episodes, where we explain more.
In the final video on this playlist, I wanted to have Dr. Glenn explains why hormone replacement therapy has gotten such a bad rap. Why are people afraid of it? Do they think it gives them cancer? Or, if you’ve had cancer, why do people think they cannot take bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
[Dr. Glenn] A few decades ago, the primary hormones prescribed by conventional doctors in America were not bioidentical. Compounding pharmacies and the ability to create these bioidenticals started in the last 20 years. One of my mentors, Dr. Jonathan Wright from Washington State, was one of the first doctors to prescribe bioidentical hormones. He tells the story of how that happened. It was a patient who motivated him to scratch his head and go, “Why am I not using bioidentical hormones?”
They used alien hormones, hormones that were never natural or used in a human being before. That’s because they could get a patent on those foreign molecules. You can’t patent the natural substance. So they would tweak the hormone and call it progestin instead of progesterone, or they would extract certain estrogens like Premarin from a pregnant mare’s urine. Estrogens were alien to human beings, which caused side effects like cancer and heart problems. They did a study, the Women’s Health Initiative, on thousands of women that ended just after the 21st century began.
They stopped it before it finished because they found more cancer, heart disease, etc. As a result, there was a blanket ban. Hormone replacement therapy is not good if doctors don’t discriminate between alien and bioidentical hormones because their effect is very different on human beings. So we started to evolve bioidentical hormone therapy.
THE FINAL WORD
As long as you’re staying in an acceptable physiological range for a man or woman, it’s considered very safe. You’re using the hormones that the body produces naturally with the same chemical composition. You’re staying in the primary hormonal range. Certain breast cancers are more sensitive to estrogen, but that’s an exception. You don’t want to throw the baby with the bathwater as they say. It is wise for most, but you have to be knowledgeable not to prescribe the inappropriate circumstances.
That’s the same for testosterone in some men with prostate cancer. Certain prostate cancers grow and like testosterone. In America, that’s a general belief. Interestingly, in Europe, medical doctors prescribe testosterone for men and kids. My other mentor is a doctor in Europe, a third-generation endocrinologist. They have been prescribing bioidentical hormones for decades. Over there, there’s a very different approach to bioidentical hormone therapy. Medicine has not determined the final word. We must pay attention to this reasonably new development because it benefits American men and women, especially as we get older.
