Hormones, Myths & Longevity with Jennifer Jay, NP

from Hormones Happen · host Jeremiah Velasquez FNP-BC, AGACNP-BC

If you’ve ever wondered whether integrative/functional medicine is legit—or how to actually use hormone replacement therapy for health optimization—this one’s for you. Jeremiah sits down with Jennifer Jay, NP to unpack the real barriers to functional care, the hidden toll of endocrine disruptors, and what the science actually says about testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone for both women’s and men’s health. We tackle persistent myths (looking at you, testosterone ≠ prostate cancer), why bioidentical hormones often carry a better risk profile than synthetics, how progesterone ties into mood and postpartum depression, and why individualized protocols beat one-size-fits-all every time.You’ll learn:The difference between integrative vs. functional medicine—and why both emphasize prevention and root-cause care.How endocrine disruptors quietly erode hormone balance (“death by a thousand paper cuts”)—and practical ways to lower your exposure.The truth about testosterone therapy and prostate cancer, plus updated context on the Women’s Health Initiative and breast cancer risk.Why bioidentical HRT can boost quality of life, energy, cognition, libido, and longevity.How to think about dosing, delivery methods, and consistency—and why symptoms + labs (not labs alone) guide better outcomes.Get in touch!Linktree: https://t.mtrbio.com/steel-city-hrt-and-weight-lossWebsite: https://steelcity-trt.com/Facebook: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556820675433Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/steel_city_hrt/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/105480676/admin/dashboard/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Steel_City_HRTTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@steel_city_hrtPintrest: https://www.pinterest.com/SteelCityHRT
