In this episode of Proactive Health Care with Excel Medical, host Leif Wombwell sits down with Dr. Peter Fotinos, Medical Director at Excel Medical, to tackle some of the biggest misconceptions around hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for both men and women. From testosterone and prostate cancer to estrogen and breast cancer, Dr. Fotinos breaks down what the latest research really says. Discover why testosterone doesn’t cause prostate cancer, how bioidentical hormones differ from synthetics, and why optimizing multiple hormones—not just one—is essential to health.
Whether you're a man on testosterone therapy or a woman considering estrogen support, this episode sheds light on the myths that might be holding you back from optimal health.
