Your burning hot, tongue-tied moments, and middle-of-the-night anxiety might not be random quirks—they could be hormone deficiency symptoms your doctor is missing. Just ask Dr. Hope Honisberg, who at 38 was told she was "just getting old" when she couldn't remember basic medical terms during patient consultations.
This eye-opening conversation takes you behind the scenes at Youthful Med Spa with founder Pam Mahone and functional medicine expert Dr. Hope as they share both professional insights and deeply personal experiences with hormone therapy. Their candid discussion demolishes outdated approaches to hormone health and reveals why the "normal for your age" lab result might be keeping you from feeling your best.
You'll discover why treating hormones requires looking at the entire endocrine system—what Dr. Hope brilliantly describes as "gears on a clock"—and how cutting-edge therapies like peptides, oxytocin, and NAD are revolutionizing wellness. From BPC-157's healing properties to the surprising benefits of nasal oxytocin for anxiety and sexual health, these practitioners explain complex concepts in refreshingly accessible terms.
The conversation doesn't shy away from sensitive topics either. Men's hormone health gets special attention, with the practitioners noting increasingly younger men experiencing testosterone deficiency due to stress, yet often overlooking the critical roles of estrogen and progesterone in their bodies. As Pam notes, "For many years it's been focused on women, and that's really unfair to the male population."
Whether you're experiencing unexplained symptoms, considering hormone therapy, or simply curious about optimizing your health, this episode offers hope that proper treatment exists beyond conventional approaches. As Dr. Hope beautifully summarizes, "There is great strength in vulnerability." Find a practitioner who listens, individualizes your care, and helps you live your most vibrant life at any age.
