Speaker 1: We never really address the way that it should, which
0:04
Speaker 1: is with hormones. But it's frequent UTIs women when they
0:10
Speaker 1: start getting that dryness, they start getting more recurrent UTIs
0:15
Speaker 1: more often. Nowadays we even say see young women getting them,
0:20
Speaker 1: and it's actually when they're losing their hormones and they're
0:24
Speaker 1: getting less lubrication, more dryness, and now they're more prone
0:28
Speaker 1: to UTIs.
0:29
Speaker 2: And this is Wake Up with Marcy, a space for
0:32
Speaker 2: honest conversations about healing, recovery, and women's wellness. I'm Marcy Hopkins.

Speaker 2: I am actually here at Relive Health in Delray Beach, Florida,
0:58
Speaker 2: and I am with Paul and I recently came in

1:08
Speaker 2: replacement and I'm so interested in it, and I came
1:11
Speaker 2: in and you guys were phenomenal. So I just wanted
1:15
Speaker 2: to bring all of you, invite you in with us
1:20

1:27
Speaker 2: to be having it. And Paula is truly amazing. She

1:48
Speaker 2: So thank you Paula for being here with me today
1:52
Speaker 2: and my pleasure inviting me here at Relive is such
1:55
Speaker 2: a beautiful space.
1:56
Speaker 1: Now it's our pleasure to have you.
1:58
Speaker 2: Thank you, So tell us a little bit about how
2:02
Speaker 2: you got into this world of medicine and why it's
2:06
Speaker 2: so important to you.
2:08
Speaker 1: When sometime back when I started, I started in primary
2:13
Speaker 1: care and I saw all the patients coming in, a
2:18
Speaker 1: lot of them older, and they were struggling. It was
2:22
Speaker 1: like they had all those issues. And you send them
2:26
Speaker 1: to different specialists and you got everything involved, and no
2:30
Speaker 1: one finds what's wrong. But they are suffering. They're not
2:37
Speaker 1: feeling well, they have joint pain, they have mental like,
2:43
Speaker 1: they don't have energy, they can't work out anymore, and
2:48
Speaker 1: libido problems, body composition, bring fog, the frozen shoulder. You
2:55
Speaker 1: send them Lui Orthiopedes And now we're injecting aeroids back
3:01
Speaker 1: to back and nothing helps. And I started to a
3:06
Speaker 1: lot of them will come back and the specialists would
3:09
Speaker 1: be there's nothing wrong, like we're just going to give
3:11
Speaker 1: this medication call it a day. And I started to think, like,
3:16
Speaker 1: there's got to be something better. There's got to be
3:18
Speaker 1: something that we have to find the source. We have
3:22
Speaker 1: to find the root cause and help them not to
3:26
Speaker 1: just give a band aid with a medication, but address
3:29
Speaker 1: what is causing it and have a better quality of life. Absolutely,
3:35
Speaker 1: And that's how I, yeah, enter into the journey of
3:40
Speaker 1: functional medicine, finding out the root cause, treating hormone imbalances,
3:47
Speaker 1: either from different causes, from toxins, from things we're exposure to,
3:53
Speaker 1: like aging. As we age, we also have the aging
3:56
Speaker 1: process that we lose those and we don't need to
3:59
Speaker 1: suffer this day and age. We have so many things
4:02
Speaker 1: that we can do too. Well, that's the thing.
4:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean quality of life, having a good quality
4:08
Speaker 2: of life and understanding that there is help. And Mike,
4:12
Speaker 2: you said, not putting a band aid on and going
4:16
Speaker 2: to all these doctors and we're being treated but not
4:20
Speaker 2: knowing really what is wrong, what is happening to our bodies, right,
4:25
Speaker 2: So let's talk about HRT and what that is exactly.
4:31
Speaker 1: So HRT is hormonal replacement therapy, and I just wanted
4:37
Speaker 1: to touch because there's a lot of stigma, a lot
4:40
Speaker 1: of belief. Back in the days, we had studies that
4:45
Speaker 1: indicated that hormonal replacement could give cancer, could cause cancer,
4:53
Speaker 1: and that generation lost so much because everyone now did
5:00
Speaker 1: want to replace the hormones. They were afraid of cancer.
5:03
Speaker 1: And back in the day, yes, we had equine hormones
5:08
Speaker 1: which were very high. Their dozing was like super physiological,
5:15
Speaker 1: not like the ones we have today that are bioidentical,
5:20
Speaker 1: that are like physiological doses that we replace. But those
5:25
Speaker 1: studies were done with synthetic like a derivative from horse urine,
5:33
Speaker 1: and they were very strong. And then yes, a lot
5:36
Speaker 1: of these women won. They were too late and replacing
5:41
Speaker 1: the hormones. And second, a lot of them had very
5:46
Speaker 1: high doses of astrogen, which now we don't have that.
5:50
Speaker 1: So fortunately FDA had remove a lot of the black
5:56
Speaker 1: box warning saying that it causes cancer. I think now
6:00
Speaker 1: we have a bright future for many men and women. Yes,
6:04
Speaker 1: men have entropause, women have menopause, And now we're seeing
6:10
Speaker 1: and even young patients. I see young patients that are
6:13
Speaker 1: losing their hormones because of toxins, because of things that
6:17
Speaker 1: were exposed.
6:17
Speaker 2: But we're eating the exposure. Everything is different today, Everything
6:21
Speaker 2: is different. Yeah, and our bodies are responding to that.
6:25
Speaker 2: And yes, and these young girls even starting their cycles
6:29
Speaker 2: so much earlier. And like you said, I mean I
6:33
Speaker 2: feel like these poor young girls. I have a daughter
6:35
Speaker 2: that's twenty and I felt like she was going through
6:37
Speaker 2: menopause at the same time I was, because we were
6:41
Speaker 2: having the same side effects, if you will.
6:45
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, and they are and it is true. Yeah,
6:49
Speaker 1: Like and we see every day, hear even young creatients
6:54
Speaker 1: that they're losing their hormones and we're trying to find
6:59
Speaker 1: the root cause because they shouldn't. They shouldn't young, Yeah,
7:05
Speaker 1: which is different when women go through menopause than we
7:09
Speaker 1: have a varying failure and then we do have to replace.
7:15
Speaker 1: It's part of life, but we don't have to suffer anymore.
7:18
Speaker 2: I think it's amazing. And I mean when those reports
7:22
Speaker 2: came out, and I'll tell you, women still talk about it,
7:24
Speaker 2: women that I am around, and they're still fearful of it.
7:28
Speaker 2: I hear everything, yes, and so anyway, I'm fifty six
7:34
Speaker 2: and I decided I had been interviewing some people on
7:37
Speaker 2: HRT and also met someone at another event and they
7:41
Speaker 2: were like, it's life changing, you have to do it,
7:45
Speaker 2: and so let's talk about what happens when you come
7:50
Speaker 2: in to let's say relive, because the process was very easy,
7:56
Speaker 2: and I'd love to even show what you guys shared
7:59
Speaker 2: with me and what I'm now using, and I'm already
8:03
Speaker 2: starting to see differences.
8:05
Speaker 1: I'm happy to hear. That's what I live for. But
8:10
Speaker 1: pretty much when you come in, we're going to evaluate
8:14
Speaker 1: first if you have any symptoms, your history, risk factors,
8:20
Speaker 1: we have to evaluate all of that, making sure your
8:24
Speaker 1: lifestyle because depending on your age bracket, we want to
8:28
Speaker 1: make sure what are you doing. If you're younger and
8:32
Speaker 1: you're losing hormones, what is it that is causing What
8:36
Speaker 1: are the lifestyle modifications that we have to do. And
8:39
Speaker 1: also even if you're already hit menopause, we need lifestyle
8:45
Speaker 1: modifications because our bodies handle hormones like the same way
8:50
Speaker 1: we have dot sense. We have to metabolize them, we
8:53
Speaker 1: have to excrete them, we have to toxify from them.
8:57
Speaker 1: So we need to make sure everything is working like
9:01
Speaker 1: a symphony, and everything is working. So we have to
9:04
Speaker 1: assess where you are risk factors, the blood work. Once
9:10
Speaker 1: we replace the hormones and everything's doing good, we evaluate
9:15
Speaker 1: how you're excreting them, how you're metabolizing them, and so there's.
9:21
Speaker 2: A lot of steps, a lot of steps. But like
9:23
Speaker 2: who's a good candidate and who's not? I mean, is
9:27
Speaker 2: there any one way that we can figure that out.
9:30
Speaker 1: There's many different things that we take into consideration when
9:35
Speaker 1: we place someone on an HRT. Most of the people
9:40
Speaker 1: are I would say everyone that has hormonal imbalance is
9:44
Speaker 1: a candidate. I don't want to say for hormonal replacement,
9:49
Speaker 1: but for hormone optimization. One way or another. We can
9:54
Speaker 1: always like.
9:55
Speaker 2: And can you do that when you're in paerimenopause or
9:57
Speaker 2: is it when you're in menopause?
9:58
Speaker 1: Now you should do it when you're in perimenopause.
10:02
Speaker 2: It was a nightmare for me, exactly. I always put
10:04
Speaker 2: on antidepressants.
10:06
Speaker 1: A lot of women are.
10:07
Speaker 2: I was drinking alcohol excessively. I mean, that's a big
10:10
Speaker 2: part of my story.
10:12
Speaker 1: It was awful. It is it is real. A lot
10:15
Speaker 1: of women get placed on and in all honesty, even
10:19
Speaker 1: when I was in primary care, when we saw, okay,
10:23
Speaker 1: you have those, your blood work doesn't show anything. And
10:26
Speaker 1: when you're in paerimenopause, it's like a roller coaster. So
10:30
Speaker 1: depending when we check your blood work might come back
10:34
Speaker 1: saying you're beautiful, you're not a menopause. You have all
10:37
Speaker 1: your hormones, but it fluctuates, and then if I check
10:40
Speaker 1: on the right amount that you're taking, you're dipping, then
10:44
Speaker 1: I'm going to see that you look like a menopausal
10:47
Speaker 1: woman and that's perimenopause. It's almost like going through puberty again.
10:53
Speaker 1: It's that roller coaster of hormones. Everything's changing, and I
10:57
Speaker 1: think it's harder than when you you're either a menopause
11:01
Speaker 1: or you're not there yet. Yeah, because absolutely it's crazy.
11:07
Speaker 1: It was.
11:08
Speaker 2: It really truly affected my life in very negative ways.
11:12
Speaker 1: Yes, but that's the time that when you have, especially
11:16
Speaker 1: when you're starting to have the symptoms to have the changes,
11:20
Speaker 1: then we start supporting that loss. So we kind of
11:25
Speaker 1: give that support. So you're because you haven't lost a
11:28
Speaker 1: year and you're going to have periods in paerimenopause that
11:31
Speaker 1: you're ovaries will try to make hormones and then they'll fail,
11:35
Speaker 1: So you have the roller coaster when and when we're supporting.
11:39
Speaker 1: It's not a full replacement dose, but it's like a
11:42
Speaker 1: supporting those and it mitigates all those symptoms and everything
11:48
Speaker 1: that we do that women go through.
11:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when I came in, we had a blood
11:52
Speaker 2: test and then from that you were able to read
11:57
Speaker 2: what was happening within my body. One of the things
12:02
Speaker 2: that you mentioned, I want to I want to expand
12:03
Speaker 2: on that. But one of the things you mentioned is
12:06
Speaker 2: family history. So what would inhibit you from not being
12:11
Speaker 2: able to do it due to family history?
12:13
Speaker 1: We would approach different ways. If you have a family,
12:18
Speaker 1: especially a stronger family history of cancers that are sensitive
12:24
Speaker 1: to estrogen or to hormones, then we do have to
12:28
Speaker 1: do it in a different way. We have to make
12:30
Speaker 1: sure we're checking you first, make sure you're up to
12:34
Speaker 1: date with all your preventative screenings. Make sure you don't
12:41
Speaker 1: have like the genetic predisposition to develop anything, because we
12:45
Speaker 1: don't want to trigger anything. But still with that we
12:48
Speaker 1: can help with hormones.
12:51
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So anyway, I came in had my
12:54
Speaker 2: blood work done, and you said that my brain was
12:59
Speaker 2: triggering for the hormones to write, because right, so what
13:05
Speaker 2: is it to go to my brain for different Those.
13:08
Speaker 1: Brain signals your ovaries to produce uh huh. So we
13:14
Speaker 1: saw at the time that your brain was trying to
13:16
Speaker 1: signal very strongly to get your ovaries to produce the hormones,
13:22
Speaker 1: and your body was trying to give you the building blocks,
13:28
Speaker 1: which sometimes we see a light increase in cholesterol and
13:32
Speaker 1: certain markers in the in the blood work.
13:35
Speaker 2: But so that's what was happening.
13:38
Speaker 1: Right.
13:38
Speaker 2: Of course, my ovaries weren't responding, and also my cholesterol
13:42
Speaker 2: has been higher, and I even had multiple tests done
13:45
Speaker 2: on that and I didn't have to go on medication.
13:48
Speaker 2: But that is something to look into, right, I mean,
13:52
Speaker 2: and that has never been mentioned to me that that
13:55
Speaker 2: could be.
13:55
Speaker 1: A possibility, you know, but it's it's a common one
13:59
Speaker 1: of the common found things when women and men start
14:02
Speaker 1: losing their hormones. One of the building blocks for your
14:06
Speaker 1: body to make hormones is cholesterol. And when your body
14:12
Speaker 1: sees because your body is very spine, it's going to
14:14
Speaker 1: see that you no longer have that hormone, it's going
14:18
Speaker 1: to go, Okay, let me raise a little bit and
14:20
Speaker 1: give you the building block see if you can make
14:24
Speaker 1: is that incredible?
14:26
Speaker 2: Our bodies are so fascinating their the machines. So anyway,
14:31
Speaker 2: so you provided for those listening, these are creams. Those
14:35
Speaker 2: are creams compounds that have been created specifically for me.
14:39
Speaker 2: So everyone would have their own.
14:41
Speaker 1: Their own, yes, so into their own needs. We monitor
14:46
Speaker 1: with symptoms and how you deal with them.
14:49
Speaker 2: Right, so you start with a certain dosage and then
14:52
Speaker 2: see how your body would respond. And you also help
14:57
Speaker 2: men with this. Is that correct? Okay, because that's tell
15:02
Speaker 2: us a little bit about that.
15:03
Speaker 1: So men also go through something very similar to menopause,
15:07
Speaker 1: which is called andropause, and with aging, they start losing
15:12
Speaker 1: their hormones too. Male main hormone is testosterone. It's very
15:18
Speaker 1: interesting because once man start losing their testosterone, it actually
15:25
Speaker 1: predisposes them to diabetes, to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease,
15:33
Speaker 1: it does all of that.
15:34
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody talking about.
15:36
Speaker 1: That woman too. So we yes, we should, because we
15:41
Speaker 1: can be preventing a lot of disease, chronic disease of aging. Yes,
15:47
Speaker 1: when we replace the hormones. Yeah.
15:50
Speaker 2: So, and also I just want to say so I'm
15:54
Speaker 2: about three and a half weeks in now, and today
16:00
Speaker 2: m hmm. I realized today was my first day, like
16:03
Speaker 2: I've always been a napper meeting rest, and today was
16:07
Speaker 2: my first day that I have felt alert, I have
16:12
Speaker 2: felt awake, I have felt good, and it's amazing, amazing.
16:18
Speaker 2: I haven't felt like this, and I can't tell you
16:21
Speaker 2: how long I am blown away by the fact that
16:28
Speaker 2: I feel clear headed and that I just feel so
16:32
Speaker 2: alert and happy. Yes, so it has been just incredible.
16:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was saying, that's when patients say that
16:41
Speaker 1: it's life changing, it.
16:43
Speaker 2: Is, and yes, and that's what makes me so excited
16:47
Speaker 2: about what's to come.
16:49
Speaker 1: Yes, not even considering the changes that you don't see
16:55
Speaker 1: and you don't feel, but they are happening because now
16:58
Speaker 1: you're preventing oste, you're preventing sarcupedia, meaning like you're not
17:03
Speaker 1: going to be losing your muscle mass, you're going to
17:06
Speaker 1: have more like less of the brain fog. A lot
17:09
Speaker 1: of women complaining of like frozen shoulder, frozen joints, so
17:13
Speaker 1: they're now able to exercise, to be active without hurting everything.
17:20
Speaker 1: So there's so much.
17:22
Speaker 2: I also had problems with my legs when I would sleep,
17:27
Speaker 2: and meaning that I would have what is that called
17:30
Speaker 2: when your your legs will like jolt and they have
17:35
Speaker 2: like hyper active and you feel like, I don't know,
17:39
Speaker 2: it really affected my sleep?
17:41
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's another thing. Yeah, a lot of patients
17:45
Speaker 1: is such an incredible change in sleep. Yes, how restorative
17:51
Speaker 1: and better qualities to sleep they have after they start
17:56
Speaker 1: replacing their hormones.
17:57
Speaker 2: What are some of the side effects of perimenopause menopause
18:02
Speaker 2: that that isn't normal? Like we all know about the
18:06
Speaker 2: hot flashes, and we talk about the brain fog and such,
18:09
Speaker 2: but there are definitely some side effects that women are
18:14
Speaker 2: really not aware of. And I mean, I'll just say
18:17
Speaker 2: vaginal dryness.
18:18
Speaker 1: Vaginal dryness is a very common and with a vaginal
18:22
Speaker 1: dryness there is one that is very common. I saw
18:27
Speaker 1: a lot in primary care, and we never really address
18:32
Speaker 1: the way that it should, which is with hormones. But
18:35
Speaker 1: it's frequent UTIs women when they start getting that dryness,
18:41
Speaker 1: they start getting more recurrent UTIs more often nowadays we
18:46
Speaker 1: even say see young women getting them, and it's actually
18:51
Speaker 1: when they're losing their hormones and they're getting less lubrication,
18:55
Speaker 1: more dryness, and now they're more.
18:57
Speaker 2: Prone to UTIs and a lot of women feel uncomfortable
19:01
Speaker 2: to talk to the gynecologists about these things, so they're
19:05
Speaker 2: not being honest.
19:06
Speaker 1: They're not No, so there's sometimes the visit is so quick,
19:10
Speaker 1: where like you're in and out in five minutes. Yeah,
19:14
Speaker 1: so sometimes they don't even have time.
19:16
Speaker 2: So functional medicine, a functional medicine is where we would
19:24
Speaker 2: receive the hormone replacement, right. I mean, you're not going
19:27
Speaker 2: to your general practitioner.
19:29
Speaker 1: It could be someone that specializes in hormones. But functional
19:33
Speaker 1: medicine is when we're looking you at your health as
19:39
Speaker 1: a whole, and we're addressing the root causes of everything.
19:43
Speaker 1: So not only are we going to do hormones, but
19:46
Speaker 1: we're going to make sure your body is handling the
19:48
Speaker 1: hormones well, that you're doing all the lifestyle changes that
19:54
Speaker 1: we're addressing anything else that can be causing your body
19:58
Speaker 1: not to be optimized, because you should be optimized. You should.
20:04
Speaker 1: You should sleep well, wake up energized, have energy throughout
20:11
Speaker 1: the day, not needing several cups of coffee or other
20:15
Speaker 1: things to stay awake, to have clarity of mind, to
20:19
Speaker 1: be able to exercise, to be active, all the quality
20:23
Speaker 1: of life that everyone should have.
20:25
Speaker 2: Amazing so let's talk about some of the negative side effects. Though,
20:31
Speaker 2: maybe someone has started HRT and I mean, what's something
20:37
Speaker 2: to look for that maybe it's not working right.
20:41
Speaker 1: There is a lot of dozing adjusting in the beginning.
20:45
Speaker 1: It is true. So sometimes let's say if progesterone, when
20:51
Speaker 1: we start with progesterone and estrogen, some women might retain
20:57
Speaker 1: a little fluid, which sometimes it's normal. It activates a
21:01
Speaker 1: system that it's like a diuretic system, and as your
21:04
Speaker 1: body adjusts to it, sometimes you retain fluid in the
21:09
Speaker 1: beginning and then you start diarrasing normally again. So sometimes
21:13
Speaker 1: that can happen. Breast tenderness. If you have access hormones,
21:18
Speaker 1: you're gonna have symptoms. So you start getting a little
21:22
Speaker 1: some mood swings, some breast tenderness. Someone might going to
21:27
Speaker 1: have like breakthrough bleeding. So those are problems. There's a
21:31
Speaker 1: nuisance that can happen, and it's it's really easily fixable.
21:37
Speaker 1: That's about the dose. Yes, okay, right, so let's talk about.
21:46
Speaker 2: The peptide therapy.
21:48
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
21:49
Speaker 2: I don't know a lot about peptide therapy, but I
21:52
Speaker 2: hear that's a game changer too.
21:55
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's becoming very popular. It is becoming
21:57
Speaker 1: very populous. It's been in it around for.
22:02
Speaker 2: A while, but we're just catching on.
22:04
Speaker 1: Yes, yes it's been around it but pretty much. Baptized
22:10
Speaker 1: are short chain you know, acids, and they signal things peptize.
22:16
Speaker 1: What our love about peptides is that they respect the
22:20
Speaker 1: mechanisms that your body have, the safety mechanisms. So let's say,
22:26
Speaker 1: when I replace hormone, I have to be very careful
22:29
Speaker 1: because i'm telling mandating your body to do something that
22:34
Speaker 1: it needs to do. When I give you peptides, I'm
22:38
Speaker 1: asking kindly your body to do something. And if your
22:42
Speaker 1: body is not ready for it, or if you don't
22:44
Speaker 1: have the terrain for it to happen, it's not going
22:48
Speaker 1: to do anything. Well. When sometimes I see people that
22:51
Speaker 1: use baptists like I haven't seen anything, I'm like, well,
22:54
Speaker 1: it's probably because your body we're not ready to receive
22:58
Speaker 1: the peptize yet.
23:00
Speaker 2: Well, tell me what exactly are there for? What tell
23:02
Speaker 2: us when when do we need them?
23:04

23:13
Speaker 1: peptides that help with gut healing, some help, some help
23:18
Speaker 1: with tendon ligaments. Some actually help with bacterial fungo infections. Uniaming, like,
23:26
Speaker 1: there's so many different ones. It's incredible, it is. It
23:31
Speaker 1: is a whole world. The most common one you know
23:36
Speaker 1: is the weight loss one right, which is now very popular,
23:40
Speaker 1: the gp ones right, EMPI, the manjaros that found. Yes, uh,

23:59
Speaker 2: any differferent types of paptides.

24:13

24:42

26:38
Speaker 1: Especially with age, we have a lot of issues.
26:42
Speaker 2: Actually, I don't know, if I think back, I think
26:45

26:46
Speaker 1: You know, the amount of patients when I ask them
26:50
Speaker 1: if they because sometimes they don't even stop and think.
26:53

Speaker 1: they have abnormal stools or more or bloating or reflux
27:04
Speaker 1: or stomach issues, it's a lot. Yes, it's a line.

Speaker 2: And especially now with all that are in our foods,
27:13
Speaker 2: and our foods are just different today, Yes, they are
27:17
Speaker 2: just different. And I mean our our gut is a brain,
27:20
Speaker 2: and and how our gut is functioning is affecting our
27:26
Speaker 2: entire body. And I don't think people realize that so much.
27:29

27:32
Speaker 2: Gut and then it signals to the brain and how
27:34
Speaker 2: our brain works in our hearts.
