Dr. Haver advocates for the use of hormone therapy to calm the brain's hormonal responses and mitigate severe symptoms during the perimenopause and menopause transition.

“think of the hypothalamus I'm giving her just enough estrogen to calm the brain down and tell them everything's okay”

Hormone therapy is a safe and effective treatment that women should have access to for managing menopausal symptoms and improving quality of life.

“And so, hormone therapy is not something that I'm saying every woman must have, but every woman should have access to the toolbox.”

Mel Robbins concludes based on Dr. Gunter's guidance that she will no longer use compounded or bioidentical hormone products.

“I am speechless like it's it's not very often that I don't have anything to say and you just took a flamethrower to the entire idea of bioidentical hormon I would never ever try it again”

Dr. Gunter advises patients to use FDA-approved hormone replacement therapy because its composition and delivery mechanism are clinically studied and reliable.

“using FDA approved hormones is like going to the gas station that has the gallons on it and you can choose you know whichever gas you want you fill your car and you have a working gas gauge and you're like I know what's in there and that's important”
