EP 28: Hormone Therapy Myths Busted: Pellets, Creams & Injectables with Dr. Monica Aszterbaum
“I can tell if a patient is on hormone therapy just by how they look.” That’s just one of the many eye-opening insights shared by Dr. Monica Aszterbaum, MD, a leading OB-GYN and hormone expert, in this episode of The Loop Podcast with host Stephanie Gambetta.
Together, they explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — from pellets, creams, and injectables to how proper hormone balance impacts your energy, mood, metabolism, and longevity.
Dr. Aszterbaum opens up about her own journey in medicine, transitioning from pediatrics to women’s health, and shares the science and soul behind helping women feel like themselves again. They also discuss why so many women are left confused or unsupported when it comes to hormones — and how education and curiosity can change everything.
