👉🏻Double unders dialed.
👉🏻Core and pelvic floor strong.
And yes urethra supported.

🔥 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: “𝗜𝗳 𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀, 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻.”

Wrong. Your bladder, urethra, and va**nal tissues feel hormone shifts years before your cycle disappears.

That’s why local support like estriol + DHEA cream matters, especially if you’re jumping, lifting, sneezing, or laughing hard.

🚫 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀 ≠ 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲
Even if your cycle is regular, estrogen levels can be low and fluctuating in va**nal and urinary tissues years before menopause symptoms show up elsewhere.

🚻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗿 & 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁
The urethra, bladder, and va**na are extremely hormone-sensitive. Low local hormones can lead to dryness, irritation, urgency, leakage, and recurrent UTIs even in your 40s.

🧬 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻
These tissues also have androgen receptors. That’s why therapies like va**nal DHEA (prasterone) and va**nal estrogen can support tissue strength, blood flow, and immune defense locally.

💊 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 ≠ 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰
Vaginal hormone therapy works where you need it, with minimal absorption into the bloodstream very different from systemic hormone therapy.

✨ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿?
Using va**nal hormone support sooner may help prevent chronic bladder issues and recurrent infections later not just treat them once they’re severe.

🎤✋🏻𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲:
Still bleeding doesn’t mean your va**nal and urinary tissues are thriving. Hormone support isn’t about age it’s about symptoms.

We have women in their 80s still on hormones. Some of them started in their mid-60s. Why? Because they were evaluated as individuals. One-size-fits-all? Not in functional medicine. We believe in the power of an N of 1.

Here’s where it gets exciting 👇

📊 A 2023 study published in Menopause Journal reviewed 10 million women over age 65 from 2006–2023. It compared those who:

- 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀
- 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳𝗹𝘆 (𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳)
- 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺

💥 The findings? Women who stayed on hormones had lower all-cause mortality across the board.

📉 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸: ↓ 𝟭𝟯–𝟭𝟲%

📉 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻, 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿: ↓

🧠 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸: ↓ 𝟯𝟮%

Let that sink in.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀.

➡️ Save this post for the next time you are told you’re too old to start hormones! Age is not the expiration date traditional medicine has set it out to be!

➡️Phantom smells in perimenopause? Here’s why it can happen 👃

👉🏼Hormone fluctuations: big, unpredictable drops and spikes in estrogen/progesterone can change how olfactory neurons and brain regions (olfactory bulb, limbic system) process smells.

👉🏼Neural communication: shifts in neurotransmitters (serotonin, GABA, acetylcholine) can change signal transmission and cause phantosmia.

👉🏼Inflammation & blood-flow changes: hormonal effects on nasal tissue and brain circulation can disrupt smell receptors.

👉🏼Mood, sleep & stress: anxiety and poor sleep common in perimenopause can amplify or trigger phantom odors.

👉🏼Midlife contributors: dental issues, sinus disease, meds, thyroid or neurological changes can interact with hormones to worsen symptoms.

If you’re in perimenopause or menopause, have you had phantom smells? Curious 👇🏻

Newer medications are doing more than just curbing appetite they’re tapping into the body’s full metabolic system.

✨ GLP-1 helps you feel full and keeps blood sugar steady.
🔥 Glucagon raises energy use and helps burn fat.
🧬 GIP boosts insulin and may improve fat metabolism.
🍽️ Amylin slows digestion and helps you eat less, by working in the brain, naturally.

❌ Together, they don’t just change how much you eat they change what your body does with food.

If you’ve plateaued or aren’t seeing results on a single med, it may be time to look at the bigger picture and more than one pathway.

📍 Save thist post and ask your provider about options that go beyond GLP-1.

In functional medicine, we often see the pendulum swing:
💊 “Statins should be in the water”
➡️ “Statins are toxic, get off them ASAP.”
⁠
But the truth? It’s usually somewhere in the middle.
⁠
🩺Statins aren’t inherently bad. They’re not evil. And in the right patient, they can be beneficial. But like all medications, they come with side effects and deserve individualized consideration, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What matters most is context:
🧬 What’s going on at the cellular level?
🔥 Is inflammation the real driver?
🧰 How else can we support the body, beyond prescriptions?

💡 Statins are one tool in the toolbox, not the whole toolkit.

I’ve been asked more than once when I’m going to start a Patreon and the honest answer is, I chose Substack instead.

Patreon is great for memberships and exclusive drops, but what I’m building isn’t about gated content. My goal is long-form education, clear thinking, and ongoing clinical conversation. Substack supports that in a way that feels aligned with how I teach and how I want to show up.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲:

👉Writing and long-form content are the foundation

👉It creates a direct connection through email (no algorithms)

👉Free and paid education can live in the same ecosystem

👉It supports depth, not just volume

👉It’s built for consistency and long-term learning

If you’re looking for a community built around education, case studies, and evolving protocols, that’s what I’m doing through 𝗬𝗗𝗛 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆.

Inside YDH Academy:

👉Access to archived case study videos and webinars

👉Unlimited access to previously purchased course content

👉Ongoing updates on dosing changes and protocol shifts

👉Monthly clinical group webinar
– Submit questions in advance

👉Guest speakers and key opinion leaders

👉Case study presentations

👉New peptide and hybrid protocol reviews

I personally cycle peptides all the time, and cycle them in my patients based on what’s going on with the patient, labs, season of life, and goals!

😷 I’ve recently been sick and recovering from a virus, and it’s been a humbling reminder that even when you’re intentional about your health, track your sleep, do the right things, your body will still ask you to slow down sometimes.

⏰ I rarely get sick, so this season felt like a clear signal to pause, reset, and actually let my system catch up.

🔑Here is my current cycled stack: tirzepatide, BPC-157, thymosin beta-4, MOTS-c, GHK-Cu, oxytocin, IGF1LR3 (just finished this cycle) in 4 weeks will restart tesamorelin+ ipamorelin, and thymosin alpha-1 to support my immune function. They’ve been supportive tools as my body reboots!

👉🏻 The real work is still sleep, nutrition, movement, breath, sunlight, and connection. No peptide replaces rest. No protocol overrides a nervous system that needs safety. These tools work best when the basics are honored first.

⛔ This illness reminded me that healing isn’t about doing more it’s about doing what’s appropriate right now. Slowing down isn’t falling behind. It’s how you rebuild sustainably.

♥️This holiday season take time to take care of yourself!

❤️It’s time to make your health a priority! 👑

The most common question I get from women:
“What labs should I actually be asking for?”

Here’s the truth ➡️ Most standard lab panels don’t dig deep enough. If you’re struggling with low energy, irregular cycles, mood swings, or stubborn weight these are the 10 labs that can help get us to the real root causes.

🔟 Top 10 Labs Every Woman Should Run This Year:

1️⃣ Full Thyroid Panel – TSH, Free T3, Free T4, TPO & TG antibodies
2️⃣ Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone – test on cycle day 19-21 for accuracy
3️⃣ Fasting Insulin & Glucose – for early signs of insulin resistance
4️⃣ Ferritin & B12 – energy, brain function, and oxygen delivery
5️⃣ Vitamin D – regulates over 200 genes & hormone sensitivity
6️⃣ hs-CRP – a key marker of inflammation
7️⃣ Homocysteine – linked to detox, fertility, and brain health
8️⃣ CMP – checks liver, kidneys, and metabolic function
9️⃣ CBC – for anemia, infection, or immune issues
🔟 GI-MAP – reveals gut pathogens, inflammation & microbiome imbalances (your gut impacts your hormones more than you think!)

🧬 Testing gives you clarity.
Symptoms are messages don’t ignore them or settle for “normal” when you know something’s off.
