My first interview is with Dr. Gretchen Frey an OB/GYN with a specialty in sexual health and hormone therapy. We had so much great content we split our convo into 2 parts.

Part 2 goes deep into hormone therapy as a treatment option for perimenopausal symptoms. I love this talk because I think folks are sometimes overly worried when it comes to the safety of hormone therapy and other times expect too much from the treatment results. Hormone therapy is neither magical silver bullet, nor is it unsafe for all. Like most therapies it can be a great layer when used for the right person at the right time in the context of a holistic plan. I hope that this episode helps folks understand their options and adds to their ability to make an informed choice.

My Guest:
Dr. Gretchen Frey
I was born in the Chicago suburbs and moved to northern Colorado just before high school. I attended Colorado State University and then the University of Colorado School of Medicine, followed by residency in OB/GYN which was also with the CU program.
I began my obstetrics and gynecology practice in Littleton, CO in 1989. I gradually became more interested in integrative medicine, which I utilized during the following years in solo and later group OBGYN practice settings. I practiced office-only gynecology from 2010 until 2019, and I am now retired from clinical practice.
