Due to recent studies suggesting the dangers of hormone replacement therapy, many women are turning to natural options including black cohosh and chastetree berry for hormonal support.
While our discussion begins by focusing on menopausal symptoms, guest Jen Luse broadens today’s podcast to include PMS, cycle regulation, osteoporosis an breast cancer.
We discuss black cohosh (is it a phytoestrogen or not?), chasetree, schizandra and more.
Have you used natural products for hormonal support? If so, what did you think? Do you have any questions for me or Jen? Please feel free to share your thoughts about this podcast or ask a question in the comments field below.

I was expecting a talk on hormones for all people, not just for women. But when I read what you have listed in writing for this podcast, it obviously is not about men at all. So how about hormone talk for men and women. Help With Hormones sounds good, but its really just for women. What about us men?
Thanks Nick, great point. In the next few weeks, I’ll be posting a podcast on prostate health, something of the complimentary podcast to this episode, but I really like your idea of a broader podcast.
I’ll get to work and see if I can line up a guest. Thanks much!
