In this episode of the SPELL Life Podcast, Jill and Gaynell welcome back functional and precision medicine physician Dr. Eduardo Maristany for an eye-opening conversation about the evolution of hormone replacement therapy, what current research is revealing, and how personalized medicine is changing the way we approach aging and wellness.

 

Dr. Maristany explains how our understanding of hormones has shifted dramatically since the Women's Health Initiative study, why bioidentical hormones have become an important part of the conversation, and how individualized treatment plans can help address symptoms that many people are told are simply "normal aging."

 

Then the SpelLife duo tackles another growing health concern: Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses. Dr. Maristany shares why Lyme disease can be so difficult to diagnose, the wide range of symptoms it can mimic, and the promising new therapies being explored for patients who continue to struggle with chronic symptoms.

Whether you're navigating menopause, dealing with unexplained health challenges, or just interested in the future of personalized medicine, this episode offers valuable insights and practical considerations.
