On this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward sits down with Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi—two naturopathic doctors specializing in functional medicine and hormone health—to discuss Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
They break down what makes BHRT different from traditional hormone replacement therapy, how it supports longevity, and why optimizing hormones is key for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.
You’ll learn how hormones influence muscle, brain, heart, and bone health, and the role of lifestyle factors like nutrition, gut health, and strength training in hormone balance. The doctors also share best practices for candidate screening, dosing, and safe hormone delivery methods.
