In this episode, I’m so excited to sit down with Dr. Amy Killen—a former ER physician turned hormone and regenerative medicine expert—to talk all things hormone replacement therapy (HRT). From understanding the roles of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to recognizing the first signs of perimenopause, Dr. Amy explains how learning about hormones can transform your health and vitality. We also dive into the truth about estrogen and breast cancer, how hormones can protect your bones, brain, and heart—and why starting early can make all the difference. If you’re ready to take charge of your health and start feeling your best, tune in and let’s learn together—because it’s not about being young, it’s about feeling good in your body!
