07/12/23 • 42 min

Have you ever found yourself waking up in the middle of the night in cold sweats, or dealing with sudden mood swings and brain fog? If these symptoms are sounding all too familiar, then you're not alone. This episode, we're thrilled to be joined by Dr. Michael Green, Chief Medical Officer of Winona, who shares his wealth of knowledge on menopause symptoms and breaks down the intricacies of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). His career transition from family practice to OB-GYN, and his role at Winona, provides a unique perspective on the subject which will leave you informed and empowered.
Venturing deeper into the realm of HRT, we tackle some of the big questions surrounding its risks and benefits, particularly its link to cancer. Dr. Green provides insights from his research and experiences, shedding light on these concerns. As we commemorate the two-year anniversary of WINONA, we reflect on our journey and discuss the safety boundaries of HRT; a conversation that is both timely and revealing.
In the final part of our enlightening chat, we switch gears to discuss the role of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in providing testosterone to women. Dr. Green guides us through the benefits of DHEA, stressing the importance of sourcing from reliable providers and how it helps to monitor testosterone levels without the need for costly and tedious blood tests. Throughout our conversation, the passion for assisting others through Winona is evident, providing a comforting assurance that we're on the right path. Tune in, and let's navigate this critical women's health journey together.
