The HRT University® Podcast

Think about how many of your patients walk in with the same story. Low mood. Zero motivation. Brain fog that will not lift. They feel like a different version of themselves, and nothing they have tried has brought them back. You run a standard panel. Everything comes back normal. And the next step in the algorithm is an SSRI.But here is the question nobody seems to be asking: did anyone check their hormones?In this episode, Nico Misleh, MSN, FNP-C challenges the framework that has dominated depression treatment for three decades, the idea that depression is a disease caused by low serotonin. He walks through Dr. Joanna Moncrieff's 2022 umbrella review that found no consistent evidence linking serotonin levels to depression, and then builds the clinical case for why testosterone, progesterone, estradiol, and thyroid should be among the first things you evaluate in a depressed patient, not the last. Testosterone drives dopaminergic function, motivation, and cognitive clarity. Progesterone converts to allopregnanolone, a neurosteroid that modulates GABA receptors, the same calming pathway that benzodiazepines act on, without the dramatically ill effects. Estradiol upregulates serotonin receptors and modulates dopamine in the prefrontal cortex. When these hormones are deficient, the clinical presentation looks exactly like major depressive disorder. And putting that patient on an SSRI without checking any of them is the equivalent of treating chest pain with tablets without ever running an EKG.The HRT University Master Course is jointly accredited through Pinnacle Conference LLC (ACCME, ACPE, ANCC) and offers 30 CE credits across six modules covering metabolic foundations, male HRT, female HRT, advanced female endocrinology, thyroid optimization, and adjunct hormones.Explore the Master Course: https://bit.ly/4twBb0DJoin the Free Newsletter: https://nicomislenp.kit.com/8050eeea5fFacebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1179376819949373/Website: https://hrtuniversity.comFollow HRT University on Instagram: @hrtuniversity

Your patient started thyroid medication. She is feeling better than she has in months. And then you open her follow-up labs and her Free T3 barely moved.This is the moment where most providers either overcorrect or lose confidence. They increase the dose beyond what is needed, switch to a less effective medication, or start questioning whether the treatment is working at all. None of those are the right call. The problem is not the medication. It is a misunderstanding of what the lab is actually showing you.In this episode, Nico Misleh, MSN, FNP-C walks through the clinical distinction between peak and trough Free T3, explains why a seemingly unchanged number on follow-up labs can actually reflect meaningful improvement, and breaks down the pharmacokinetics that make this one of the most common thyroid management mistakes in clinical practice. If you have ever second-guessed yourself after seeing a low Free T3 on a patient who is clearly doing better, this episode will change how you read those labs.The HRT University Master Course is jointly accredited through Pinnacle Conference LLC (ACCME, ACPE, ANCC) and offers 30 CE credits across six modules, including a dedicated Thyroid Optimization module that covers lab interpretation, medication selection, and dosing strategy in depth.

The Alzheimer’s conversation in HRT has been almost entirely about estrogen for 20 years. A 2025 Nature study says that framing is only half the picture. The real driver is the ratio of estradiol to progesterone during perimenopause, and what happens to the brain when that ratio stays unbalanced for years.In this episode, Nico Misleh, MSN, FNP-C walks through the full metabolic cascade the study identifies: estrogen receptor alpha destabilization, ERR alpha dysfunction, mitochondrial energy failure, glutamate excitotoxicity, and the on-ramp to neurodegeneration. He explains why unopposed estradiol can actually worsen the neuronal environment, why synthetic progestins like MPA do not deliver the same neuroprotection as bioidentical progesterone, and why perimenopause, not postmenopause, is the window that matters most.If you prescribe HRT or are reconsidering whether to, this is the clearest mechanistic argument for treating progesterone as foundational rather than optional.HRT University is a jointly accredited, physiology-first clinical education program for licensed providers.

Functional medicine and HRT keep getting framed as rival philosophies. That framing is wrong, and patients are the ones paying for it. In this episode, Nico Misleh, MSN, FNP-C walks through why hormones are foundational, why lifestyle alone has a ceiling, and how to sequence HRT and functional medicine for real clinical outcomes.He tells the story of a 35-year-old patient who did everything right, was offered an antidepressant by her primary care, ended up on a shopping bag of supplements through a functional provider, and only turned the corner once progesterone and testosterone were restored. Then he flips the argument and names the HRT-only mistake clinics make when they prescribe hormones without terrain work.Learn more about the Master Course: https://bit.ly/4twBb0DHRT University is a physiology-first clinical education program for licensed providers.

There is a group of providers who oppose compounded HRT medications on principle. Their argument sounds evidence-based. Standardization. Regulation. Studies. It holds up until you look at what they are actually prescribing.In this episode, Nico Misleh, MSN FNP-C, walks through two clinical examples that expose the internal contradiction: the Androgel problem, in which providers who oppose compounding are instructing female patients to eyeball a fraction of a men's testosterone gel; and the progesterone problem, in which the FDA-only framework leaves patients with no option except a pharmacologically distinct synthetic progestin when commercial dose ranges fall short.The episode also goes into the regulatory reality of 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies, the neurosteroid pharmacology that makes progesterone and synthetic progestins non-interchangeable, and what individualized prescribing actually requires when a patient does not fit the commercial options.The compounding debate does not have to stay murky. This is the clinical argument.HRT University is a physiology-first clinical education program for licensed providers.

Are peptides actually safe, or are concerns being driven by misunderstanding and incomplete data?In this episode of the HRT University podcast, Nico Misleh explores one of the most common concerns in hormone therapy today: peptide safety. With changing regulations and limited human data on some newer peptides, many providers and patients are asking important questions about risk, safety, and long-term use.Nico walks through the historical lessons from hormone therapy that still impact medicine today, including the long-standing myths surrounding testosterone and prostate cancer, as well as the widespread fear that followed the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study. These examples highlight why understanding mechanisms matters more than blindly accepting conclusions from flawed or incomplete research.If you work in hormone therapy or are considering peptide-based treatments, this episode will help you better understand how to evaluate safety and think critically about emerging therapies.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why many peptides have long-standing safety recordsHow flawed studies shaped hormone therapy historyWhat the testosterone and prostate cancer myth teaches usWhy the WHI study changed hormone therapy for decadesThe importance of understanding mechanisms of actionHow clinicians can evaluate new therapies responsiblyFor practitioners who want to confidently grow their practice with guidance in TRT, HRT, and business strategy, find us below:- Nico's Daily Newsletter: ⁠⁠https://nicomislenp.kit.com/8050eeea5f⁠⁠(yes, it's daily... and yes, people stay subscribed)- Join HRT University:https://bit.ly/4twBb0D- Join the HRT University Facebook Group: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/1179376819949373/?ref=share&_rdr

Why do patients leave a practice even when the care is good?In this episode of the HRT University podcast, Nico Misleh breaks down one of the biggest challenges for healthcare providers, patient attrition. Many practices focus heavily on acquiring new patients but overlook the systems needed to keep them engaged long term.Nico explains the three primary reasons patients leave a program, including perceived lack of value, lack of engagement, and major life changes. He also shares practical strategies providers can implement to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and create a patient experience that keeps people committed to their care.If you run a private practice, membership clinic, or hormone therapy program, this episode will help you understand how to reduce attrition and build long term patient relationships.For practitioners who want to confidently grow their practice with guidance in TRT, HRT, and business strategy, find us below:- Nico's Daily Newsletter: ⁠⁠https://nicomislenp.kit.com/8050eeea5f⁠⁠(yes, it's daily... and yes, people stay subscribed)- Join HRT University: https://bit.ly/4twBb0D- Join the HRT University Facebook Group: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/1179376819949373/?ref=share&_rdr

Is oral progesterone harmful to brain health?Recently, claims have circulated suggesting that progesterone may contribute to cognitive decline or act similarly to benzodiazepines because of its metabolite allopregnanolone. In this episode, Nico Misleh breaks down the science behind these claims and explains why much of the concern comes from misinterpreted research.This conversation explores the role of progesterone in hormone replacement therapy, the difference between animal studies and human evidence, and why understanding hormone physiology is essential for both providers and patients.If you are navigating hormone therapy or want a clearer understanding of progesterone’s role in cognitive health, this episode offers an evidence-based perspective on one of the most misunderstood hormones in medicine.For practitioners who want to confidently grow their practice with guidance in TRT, HRT, and business strategy, find us below:- Nico's Daily Newsletter: ⁠⁠https://nicomislenp.kit.com/8050eeea5f⁠⁠(yes, it's daily... and yes, people stay subscribed)- Join HRT University:https:https://bit.ly/4twBb0D- Join the HRT University Facebook Group: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/1179376819949373/?ref=share&_rdr

Join Nico's DAILY Newsletter for exclusive insights not found anywhere else: https://nicomislenp.kit.com/8050eeea5fWhat if the standard approach to HRT dosing is setting your patients up for failure? Many clinicians make a critical mistake, assuming that replacing hormones is a simple one-to-one exchange. In episode 53 of the Nico Misleh Podcast, host Nico Misleh explains the essential principle that exogenous hormone replacement therapy does not act the same as the hormones our bodies produce naturally. This fundamental misunderstanding is why so many patients feel worse on testosterone replacement therapy and why "by-the-book" dosing often fails to resolve symptoms. Nico breaks down why higher doses are frequently needed, how TRT impacts other crucial hormones, and why a clinician's critical thinking is more valuable than just following lab values for achieving life-changing patient outcomes.Discover the principles to prescribe with confidence and get superior results for your patients.

Want the truth about treating PCOS? Get daily insights from Nico Misleh that challenge conventional medicine: ⁠https://nicomislenp.kit.com/8050eeea5f⁠In May 2026, The Lancet published a landmark consensus renaming PCOS to PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) after 11 years of research involving 22,000 clinicians worldwide. The rename confirms what Nico has been teaching since this episode first aired: PCOS is a metabolic condition, not an ovarian one.What if everything you learned about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is wrong? Most clinicians focus on insulin resistance, but that is a late-stage symptom, not the cause. In episode 52 of The HRT University Podcast, host Nico Misleh reveals how PCOS (now officially PMOS) truly begins years earlier with chronic stress, high cortisol, and poor gut health, leading to a critical lack of two key hormones: progesterone and thyroid. Learn how to spot the early warning signs in your patients and why conventional treatments like birth control could be making the problem worse. This is the metabolic framework behind what The Lancet now calls PMOS.Ready to master the hormone protocols that solve the root cause of PCOS/PMOS?
