Millions of Americans rely on compounded hormones for the treatment of various conditions. Yet, they face a constant threat from a small number of misguided regulators who want to severely restrict access to these life-changing therapies.As one of the pioneers of modern pharmacy compounding, Dr. Jim Hrncir has been on the frontlines of the battle for compounded hormones for decades. In a recent episode of the Healing American Healthcare podcast, he explains why these therapies are often misunderstood and how, when the data is reviewed, they’re shown to help so many patients struggling with hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, and more.

It’s been a tough fight, Dr. Hrncir tells podcast host Ed Eichhorn, but it’s been worth it. And, Dr. Hrncir says, the role of compounding pharmacists will only grow in importance, including, for instance, as they help those struggling with the debilitating effects of the coronavirus and the condition often called “long-COVID.”
