I love all the interest and science in emerging ways we can improve longevity, but if you are not doing the basics you’re missing out.

I do think most women are not being informed of all of the preventative healthcare strategies they can do.

We should know more than just that we not diabetic or hypertensive.

We should be looking at things that suggest they’re getting close to those conditions so that we can change course.

ASVCD risk calculation? Falls FAR short for women .

Breast screening? Most women are not being offered individualized approach and most women don’t know their actual baseline risk of breast cancer.

Bones? Most women are under screened.
We should know what your baseline is in perimenopause but most women don’t get a dexa until 65.

Women are afraid MHT will cause them harm, but they’re not afraid of the four cocktails they have on the weekend .

Most routine annual physicals fall far short of prevention.

BUT-

Don’t talk to me about the latest sleep and health tracker when you’re still drinking two glasses of wine at night .

Don’t ask me about optimizing yourself with supplements, when you haven’t had your mammogram , have put off your colonoscopy, and haven’t gotten a baseline bone density test.

Lifestyle Medicine pillars are your ultimate longevity hack- problem is they take time and commitment. If you’re not doing them, you special longevity supplement isn’t gonna do anything for you.

And let’s remember treating your perimenopause and menopausal symptoms improves quality of life, lowers your risk of osteoporosis and subsequent risk of hip fracture and improves quality of life so that you can do all of the longevity hacks like a lifestyle medicine pillars .

And remember, you can’t “ out patch” a crappy lifestyle when it comes to protecting your heart, brain and bones.

Why is vaginal estrogen a longevity hack for women in menopause ?
Because it cuts your risk of UTIs in half as your age and greatly lowers your chances of ever being admitted to the hospital with urosepsis.

A fellow physician & breast cancer survivor on the other side of the world should not have to message me in desperation.

But neither should the woman being treated at top-notch cancer centers in New York City, LA and Boston.

Or the woman who is a long-term survivor being seen by her community OB/GYN, who tells her sorry I can’t help you - use some cooking oil to treat your severe GSM .

With millions of cancer survivors, not just breast being denied evidence based medicine- is a true crisis around the world.

I have resources in my bio and stay tuned for more resources to come - including a guide for clinicians and patients on vaginal hormones and breast cancer .

If you are in the US and you need vaginal estrogen, we can help you

If you are a doctor or clinician who wants to help breast cancer patients -take my course and reach out - let’s find ways to improve this crisis of care.

Thank you to for having me speak on the most dismissed women in menopause.

I asked this question :
What are your ovaries worth?

Especially if you lose their function prior to the age of natural menopause .

The point here is not that you are doomed if you cannot take HRT ! But we cannot address the increased health risks if we don’t name the problem and if we don’t tell women the truth.

That is why it is standard of care to give full HRT up until the age of 51 and then after that women can decide if they want to continue MHT.

And for the women who cannot use HRT because of a true medical reason - they can protect their health in many ways by being proactive with lifestyle medicine, using other medications to reduce disease risk and treat symptom, to have proactive preventative health monitoring, and of course, to use local vaginal hormones! You are not doomed, but we need to be honest with you and help you manage your risk.

Knowledge is power .

And for the vast majority of women with premature menopause, HRT is safe and the standard of care .

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Doctors told me the lump I found at 28 was “just a cyst.”
But my gut told me otherwise, and it was right.
Too many young women are dismissed when they raise concerns about their health. With breast lumps, we’re told:
“You’re too young for breast cancer.”
“It’s probably hormonal.”
“Let’s just wait and see.”
Here’s the truth: breast cancer does not have an age limit.
• Nearly 80% of young women diagnosed with breast cancer find their breast abnormality themselves.
• Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women who are pregnant or have recently given birth.
• Young women generally face more aggressive cancers compared to older women.
• And we remain underrepresented in many research studies, leaving critical gaps in understanding and treatment.
If something feels off, speak up.
If you’re dismissed, seek another opinion.
Trust your intuition, it’s valid and powerful.
Advocacy begins with listening to yourself.
And medicine needs to start listening to young women.
This month, let’s raise awareness not just with pink ribbons, but with action, education, and by amplifying the voices of women who were told they were “too young” to have breast cancer.
Early detection should never depend on age or on how hard you have to fight to be believed.

Big news soon! And it’s not just Taylor Swift’s new album coming out- although what a weekend this could be💃👯‍♀️🪩

this is something actually really good for women and doctors.

Please remove the black box warning on vaginal estrogen and consider at the very least revising. The label on systemic estrogen, particularly transdermal estrogen products.

And even on oral estrogen, the label needs to be modified to reflect the 20 years of data since the WHI

Perimenopause after completing breast cancer treatment. She has survived more than a decade, and has had YEARS of normal estrogen and progesterone being produced from her ovaries . Far higher amounts than she would ever use with MHT. But she is made to feel like a heretic and crazy if she even brings up the question of “could I consider low dose progesterone in perimenopause or eventually a low dose estradiol or Duavee? “

She should not be getting the run around .

She deserves an intelligent, informed conversation about all her options for managing perimenopause and menopause.

All breast cancer is NOT the same .
Her menopause should be individually managed. It is not unreasonable for her to be asking these questions.

Something has to change. While I am excited about the new non-hormonal options and always recommend vaginal estrogen and lifestyle pillars, we must be able to give women agency and choice on considering MHT.

You know I love the power of hormone therapy and most women are good candidates. If you are one of them , remember it’s part of the recipe but it’s only one ingredient.

I have cared for and hear from thousands of breast cancer survivors - from their 20’s on up and often on years of estrogen deprivation and cancer treatments.

And yes I do help some of them choose to eventually use some form of hormones . But regardless - the pillars of lifestyle medicine may sound less sexy than HRT- but they are the way forward for us all.

Use the levers you got ! Be grateful for the ability to use HRT and don’t take your health for granted - hormones will take you a lot farther if you challenge your body with exercise and fuel it with nutrient dense foods .

Breasties - your silver lining is you have more reasons than most to really take care of yourself. ❤️‍🩹
