In this must-listen episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Amy Killen, a leading expert in hormone optimization and longevity medicine. Dr. Killen shares her journey from emergency medicine to preventive care, driven by the realization that our healthcare system often fails to keep people truly healthy.

  • The difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones—and why it matters
  • Why most doctors aren’t trained in menopause medicine and how women can advocate for better care
  • The real risks and benefits of hormone therapy, including its impact on heart, brain, and bone health
