Hormones, Longevity & the HRT Myths Women Were Never Told | Dr. Amy Killen

In 2002, one study changed the way women viewed hormone therapy forever.

Headlines linked HRT to breast cancer and heart disease, and an entire generation of women was left to suffer through brain fog, night sweats, weight gain, anxiety, and loss of vitality believing it was “just part of aging.”

But the data was misunderstood.

In this episode, I sit down with Amy Killen, a leader in regenerative and hormone medicine, to unpack what really happened — and what modern science now tells us about hormones, menopause, and longevity.

This is not a fear-based conversation. It’s an empowering one.

We explore:

• Why women’s hormones were misunderstood for decades • When to consider HRT during perimenopause (even if periods are still present) • The difference between bioidentical hormones and birth control • Whether it’s ever “too late” to start HRT • Hormones, brain health, bone density, and aging • Mood swings, emotional instability, and why midlife feels intense • Vaginal health, libido, and modern regenerative treatments • The role of intimacy and sexuality in long-term health and lifespan
