98: Dr. Amy Killen: Why Your Doctor’s Failing You on Menopause (And How to Take Control)

Why are women constantly misdiagnosed and dismissed when they bring up perimenopausal symptoms to their doctors? The answer might shock you—and it's costing women their quality of life and long-term health. In this episode of Broads, I talk with Dr. Amy Killen about the massive education gap in women's hormone health, why the medical establishment got scared of HRT in 2002, and what the latest research actually shows about hormone replacement therapy. We dive deep into the difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones, the supplements that actually matter for aging women, and why every woman deserves a conversation about hormone optimization. Dr. Amy Killen is a board-certified emergency physician who transitioned into hormone optimization and regenerative medicine after experiencing her own health challenges. She's the founder of HopBox supplements, co-founder of Reputable Health, and is dedicated to educating women about hormone health that most doctors never learned in medical school.
