Scottsdale, Sweat, and the Shocking Truth Still Hurting Women

I have wrapped up speaking for nine hours to a group of doctors in Scottsdale, AZ, and now, I’m heading to Dallas to speak about innovative ways to treat cancer patients.

But as I sat here in the crazy airport waiting yet again on a delayed plane, I had a conversation that reminded me why I keep doing this work.

Sitting here, I just talked to a woman who was in menopause but misdiagnosed with depression for two years, put on seven different antidepressants that didn't work.

Finally, she begged her gynecologist (she had to beg her gynecologist?!) to put her on progesterone. Her gynecologist puts her on hydroxyprogesterone acetate - the worst progesterone, the most dangerous progesterone ever.

The one in the Women's Health Initiative that made everybody think hormones cause breast cancer and heart disease. Hydroxyprogesterone acetate is:

• a cause of fatal first heart attacks

• it's a cause of irreversible bone loss

• and it is the reason we have an increased risk of breast cancer in young girls who use over-the-counter birth control.

It's really shocking, and I'm telling you, when you're an older woman, you have gotta really, really, really know what's going on and understand both sides of the coin.

This is why I'm having V2V - Hormones: Vilified to Vindicated on May 17th.

This is why I show up — even when I’m exhausted, even when I’ve been on the road for days.

The misinformation is still out there, and too many women are still being failed.

Life is to be enjoyed, not just to be endured! No matter how much I travel or no matter how much I work, I always make time to try and get out on the water or get to a gym, and meet up with friends to break gluten-free bread and laugh over shared stories. I had a blast in AZ kayaking and even got to go dancing!

That’s the balance. Passion and purpose. Movement and meaning. Hustle and heart.

If you’re an older woman navigating your health, it’s time to get the real story on hormones.

So stay tuned. If you wanna live younger, longer, safer.

Knowledge is power!
