1179 - Hormone Optimization, the O-Shot & P-Shot and More w/ Dr. Amy Killen

from Strictly Anonymous Confessions · host Kathy Kay

Dr. Amy Killen called in to talk all about bioidentical hormone optimization for both men and women and ended up diving into so much more on sexual health and longevity. Tune in to hear her discuss the flawed study that created the stigma around HRT, when perimenopause typically starts and its common symptoms, the difference between hormone replacement therapy and hormone optimization therapy—and why she prefers optimization, when testosterone usually starts to decline in men and the symptoms that may appear, the various ways men can take testosterone and which she prefers, how and why she believes most women should use vaginal estrogen cream—and why it’s never too late to start, how and why she supports GLP-1s and what they can treat, how she personally used a GLP-1 and how it helped her, the O-Shot and P-Shot and how she administers them, the O-Shot benefits for women, the P-Shot benefits for men, shockwave therapy and what she loves to use it for, insurance coverage and pricing of bioidentical hormones for both men and women, how she started out as an ER doctor and became a leading longevity and regenerative physician—and so much more. Dr. Amy Killen is a regenerative physician and leading sexual medicine practitioner, well known for her practical, science-based approach.
