The Dr. Josh Axe Show

"Should I be on HRT?" is the number one question I'm asked today, especially since the FDA removed the cancer warning from many hormone products in late 2025. While hormone therapy can be a life-changing intervention for some, it is often a "band-aid" that ignores the foundational failure of nutritional deficiencies and chronic stress. In this episode, I share the protocols I use in my clinic to help men and women reclaim their libido, clear brain fog, and lose stubborn weight by honoring the body’s natural design. We examine the critical difference between bioidentical hormones (structurally identical to the human body) and synthetic formulations that often come with higher risk profiles. Dr. Axe details the "Survival vs. Reproduction" hierarchy, explaining how high cortisol and insulin resistance act as the primary "thieves" of your sex hormones. Drawing from ancient medical wisdom and modern clinical studies, we break down the Astrobolom (the gut's role in estrogen metabolism) and the use of Yin-boosting foods like duck eggs and yams to naturally "cool and moisten" the body to stop hot flashes. We also dive into the tactical use of peptides like Kisspeptin and BPC-157 to restore cellular communication between the brain and reproductive organs.
