In this episode of Rev Up Health, Dr. Mark and Tandi Hechler delve into the hormonal shifts that occur during midlife, addressing both menopause and andropause (the male equivalent). They go beyond the common symptoms like hot flashes and low libido to explore the long-term health implications of hormonal decline and offer empowering strategies for aging gracefully.

This episode sheds light on:

  • The Gradual Decline: Understand how hormone levels naturally change in both men and women during midlife, and why these changes often go unnoticed until more significant symptoms appear.
  • Short-Term vs. Long-Term Effects: Distinguish between the immediate discomforts of hormonal changes (hot flashes, mood swings, etc.) and the long-term health risks, such as sarcopenia (muscle loss), osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease.
  • The Importance of Hormone Optimization: Learn about the key hormones involved in midlife health, including estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid, and vitamin D, and how optimizing their levels can improve overall well-being.
  • Uncommon Symptoms: Discover how hormone imbalances can contribute to a range of unexpected symptoms, including mental health challenges, lipid imbalances, and decreased cognitive function.
  • Functional Medicine Approach: Explore the benefits of a functional medicine approach to hormone health, which focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of imbalances rather than simply managing symptoms with medication.
