Send us Fan MailThyroid Talk with Dr. Angela Mazza, DOShow Notes Episode 43; Recorded: 10-31-2025Estrogen Suppression for Certain CancersHost: Dr. Angela Mazza, DOCo-host: Dawn Sheffield I’m Dr. Angela Mazza, D.O., a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with a private practice in Central Florida.  My goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medical conditions.  By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive.  My goal is to help us live more fulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best.  I do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time to prevent or minimize damage.  That’s deeply fulfilling.  I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of their lives are tied to both thyroid and overall health.  That’s why I went into endocrinology.  It’s a medical art that combines science with the study of our lives—and all that they encompass.  Here’s some of what we covered today, not necessarily in this order:·        Estrogen’s role in our lives, and in menopause.·        Tools to support feeling better if estrogen-depleted.·        Menopause can be a natural process or induced; symptoms.·        Focus on helping our bodies adapt and thrive--mind, body, and spirit.·        What is cancer & why are some (not all) considered to be “estrogen-driven.”·        Why doctors might suppress or halt estrogen production in certain cancer patients.·        How both estrogen suppression, and natural menopause, affect thyroid function.·        And best of all we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health!My book, Thyroid Talk: An Integrative Guide to Optimal Thyroid Health, is available on Amazon.  For information on the related Webinar and online master course, see thrivethyroid.com.  Or forward your name and email to [email protected] or to our website: metaboliccenterforwellness.com   Please stay in touch!  Send your comments, show ideas, and questions to [email protected]  We may disclose your general location on air (the city or town, for example), but we will NOT read your name NOR your address on the show.  We reserve the right to edit your input as necessary.  See the website at metaboliccenterforwellness.com; our YouTube channel (Dr. Angela Mazza), Facebook, and Instagram.   The topic of our next episode is “Cholesterol: Friend, Foe, or Feedback Loop?” Citations, references, additional information:Mazza, A.
