In this episode of Made for Health, Dr. Aaron Hartman is joined by Dr. Christian Jenski for a clarifying conversation on hormone health. Together, they unpack the often-confused concepts of hormone optimization and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—and why individualized care is essential.
The discussion begins with the misconceptions rooted in the landmark Women’s Health Initiative study, which shaped public and medical opinion on hormone therapy for decades. Dr. Jenski and Dr. Hartman address why those conclusions were misleading, what newer research reveals, and how functional medicine provides a safer, more effective framework for hormone care.
Listeners also gain insight into the role of gut health, stress, and nutrition in hormone metabolism, as well as the pros and cons of different testing methods (blood, saliva, urine) and delivery systems (pills, patches, creams, pellets). The episode emphasizes the importance of safe, personalized balancing rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
