We’re often told these symptoms are just a normal part of aging, but what if they don’t have to be? In this episode, we sit down with CarolAnn Tutera, CEO of SottoPelle Therapy, to demystify Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). &amp;nbsp; CarolAnn Tutera&amp;nbsp; shares the fascinating history of how her late husband, Dr. Gino Tutera, revolutionized hormone therapy by individualizing pellet dosing to match each patient’s unique needs. We discuss the critical importance of getting baseline lab work done, why the steady release of pellet therapy outperforms other delivery methods like creams or injections, and how hormone balance impacts everything from bone density to brain health and relationships. Plus, CaT shares her personal wellness routines, favorite self-help resources, and her philosophy on aging gracefully and joyfully. &amp;nbsp; In this episode, we cover: What bioidentical hormones are and how they differ from synthetic hormones. The science behind pellet therapy and its 24/7 time-released delivery system. Why hormone dosing must be highly individualized based on comprehensive blood work.
