Ready to be your best you yet? It’s time to Be HEALTHistic. Join cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra, and naturopathic physician Dr. Drew Sinatra — the father-and-son doctor duo with decades of experience in both integrative and conventional medicine — as they explore real solutions for achieving true wellness. Featuring expert guests along the way, Be HEALTHistic brings you a deep, balanced exploration of topics all the way from food as medicine and the mind-body connection, to raising healthy families and finding safe alternatives to prescription drugs. Be HEALTHistic cuts through the confusion, with simple, straightforward advice you can trust as you blaze your own path to optimal wellness.
In this week’s episode of Be HEALTHistic, Drs. Stephen and Drew Sinatra welcome back bestselling author, actress, entrepreneur, lecturer — and long-time friend — Suzanne Somers. We previously had Suzanne on the show to talk about her latest book, A New Way to Age, where she revealed that her top anti-aging secret was bioidentical hormone therapy. Today, we do a deep dive into bioidentical hormones, and ask Suzanne to share her experience and the different ways she supports her body as she ages. First, Suzanne explains the hormonal decline all menopausal women experience, and why the key to healthy aging is replacing what’s been lost. Then, Suzanne and the doctors discuss how cholesterol impacts hormone function, why knowing your Lp(a) level is important, and how targeted nutraceuticals can help you feel great as you age. Next, she points out common symptoms of hormonal imbalance, and Dr. Steve explains how it can affect cardiovascular health — especially in menopausal women. They talk about the positive effects of CoQ10, Suzanne talks about the use of bioidentical hormones and the amazing transformation that can happen, and finally, she shares her ultimate “pearl” of wisdom regarding hormone therapy. Don’t miss this intimate and informative episode of Be HEALTHistic!
