A Conversation on Women’s Hormonal Health, Preventive Medicine, and Personalized Hormone Therapy

In this insightful podcast interview, Angela DeRosa, DO, MBA, CPE, joins host Jay Campbell to discuss the current state of women’s hormonal healthcare and why many patients continue to face unnecessary barriers to receiving individualized treatment. Drawing from more than 25 years of clinical experience in internal medicine, pharmaceutical research, and women’s hormonal health, Dr. DeRosa explores how conventional healthcare models, regulatory policies, and longstanding gender bias have shaped the way hormone therapy is studied, prescribed, and accessed. She also shares why preventive medicine and hormone optimization should play a much larger role in improving long-term health outcomes for women.

What You’ll Learn

Throughout the conversation, Dr. DeRosa examines the importance of addressing the underlying causes of chronic disease rather than simply managing symptoms. She discusses the critical roles of testosterone, estrogen, thyroid health, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle in supporting women’s overall health and explains why many conventional medical practices fail to adequately evaluate or optimize hormonal function. The discussion also explores the challenges facing compounded hormone therapies, including regulatory pressures, evolving FDA oversight, and the potential impact these changes could have on patient access to personalized treatment options.

Why Personalized Hormone Care Matters

Dr. DeRosa emphasizes the need for individualized treatment plans that may extend beyond symptom relief to support healthier physiology and improve quality of life. She encourages providers to critically evaluate traditional treatment paradigms, understand the unique hormonal needs of women throughout every stage of life, and advocate for preserving access to compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). The conversation also highlights the importance of patient education, clinical judgment, and ongoing professional training as the field of hormone optimization continues to evolve.

Whether you currently provide hormone therapy or are interested in expanding your knowledge of women’s hormonal health, this podcast offers a valuable perspective on the future of personalized medicine, hormone optimization, and evidence-informed patient care.
