Dr. Daved Rosensweet is the Founder of The Menopause Method & I wonder, doctor https://iwonderdoctor.com/. Dr. Rosensweet graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1968. He has been in private medical practice since 1971. He teaches health professionals about the treatment of women in menopause with bio-identical hormones. Dr. Rosensweet is a nationally known lecturer and frequent presenter at A4M (https://www.a4m.com/) , a principal investigator for a scientific study of female hormones, the author of the books Menopause and Natural Hormones and Happy Healthy Hormones: How to Thrive in Menopause and the organizer of a National Summit Committee on the Treatment of Women in Menopause with Bio-Identical Hormones.
Ever wondered why menopause and andropause feel like such a dramatic shift in your life? Dr. David Rosensweet reveals that our hormone levels peak at age 20 and decline continuously thereafter, affecting every cell, tissue, and organ in our bodies. This isn't just about hot flashes or erectile dysfunction – it's about your long-term health and independence.
The conversation tackles one of medicine's most egregious failures: the false reporting of hormone therapy risks that scared millions away from treatment. What most people don't know is that the Women's Health Initiative study was retracted in 2017, acknowledging there was no increased risk of breast cancer, heart attacks, or strokes with hormone therapy. In fact, proper hormone optimization actually decreases these risks compared to going untreated.
Dr. Rosensweet explains the science behind "Bi-Est" estrogen formulations (80% estriol/20% estradiol) that mimic young women's natural hormone balance, and why testosterone is crucial for both men and women to maintain muscle mass, bone density, and cognitive function. His perspective on the consequences of hormone deficiency is sobering – approximately 80% of nursing home residents are there due to the effects of low hormones, including sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline.
