Over-Therapizing Trauma, Low Libido, HRT & Hormone Myths (Ask Me Anything!)

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Will Cole dives deep into listener questions around hormone replacement therapy (HRT), mental health, trauma processing, and more. He breaks down the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones, explains how to interpret “normal” labs that don’t reflect how you actually feel, and explores whether we’ve swung too far into over-labeling and over-therapizing emotional pain. Plus, he shares how functional medicine views hot flashes, low libido, PCOS, and stress-induced hormone dysregulation. Whether you’re struggling with burnout or just trying to feel like yourself again, this episode offers empowering insights and real solutions.
