Hormones help control amazingly complex processes like growth, metabolism, and fertility. They can even influence the function of the immune system and alter behavior. Imbalances of hormones within the body can lead to cardiovascular issues, as well as diabetes.
Dr. Angela DeRosa has dedicated the better part of her medical career to understanding these mechanisms and the other critical roles that hormones play in human health. Today, she’s a highly respected authority on the topic, including the use of bio-identical hormones that treat a variety of diseases and other conditions. And through the Hormonal Health Institute, which she founded in 2018, Dr. DeRosa is helping train other clinicians in the science of such therapies.
Dr. DeRosa is also raising the alarm, explaining that, due to a flawed report from the FDA, many patients could soon lose access to treatments using bio-identical hormones. On a recent episode of Dr. Berkson’s Best Health Radio Podcast, she appeals to listeners to learn more and advocate for these critical therapies, which are the only option for millions of Americans suffering from a range of conditions.
