By Dr. John A. Robinson and Dr. Cristina Romero-Bosch For decades, menopause has been treated primarily as a hormonal event: estrogen declines, periods stop, and women may experience hot flashes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, changes in body composition, mood changes and bone loss. But emerging research suggests something much bigger is happening. The menopausal transition […]
By Dr. John A. Robinson, NMD When we think about the pillars of longevity, we usually focus on exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and metabolic health. These are unquestionably important, but there is another aspect of human health that is often overlooked: sexual wellness. Many people think of sex as simply a quality-of-life issue. However,
By Dr. John A. Robinson, NMD Menopause changes much more than a woman’s menstrual cycle. It changes how she feels in her own body.

For years, women were told to fear soy because it “acts like estrogen.” Unfortunately, this oversimplified message ignored how soy actually behaves in the human body and failed to distinguish between traditional whole soy foods and modern industrialized soy products. A recent review published in Nutrients adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that real soy
For decades, many women entering perimenopause or menopause were told that memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, mental fatigue, and “brain fog” were simply part of getting older. Too often, these symptoms were minimized or dismissed entirely. Today, however, the research is finally catching up to what many women — and experienced hormone clinicians — have observed
For decades, women who survived breast cancer were often told that hormone therapy was permanently off the table. Many were forced into years of debilitating menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, insomnia, cognitive decline, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, bone loss, depression, and accelerated aging because conventional medicine adopted an almost universal prohibition against hormone replacement after a
Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, is a broad term for several different therapies designed to treat conditions caused or exacerbated by depleted or imbalanced levels of certain hormones. By replacing hormones and restoring hormonal balances to normal levels, HRT can help alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life for people experiencing side effects of:
