In this episode of the Hotflash inc Podcast, host Ann Marie McQueen
speaks with Dr Jerilynn Prior, a professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of British Columbia and the head of the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR). For over 40 years, Dr. Prior has been a trailblazer in understanding women’s hormones, championing the crucial role of progesterone alongside estrogen in women’s health.
We dive into:
- Why obstetrics and gynecology might not be the best specialties for addressing women’s hormonal health
- The persistent misconception of estrogen as “the women’s hormone” and why it’s wrong to label anyone as “estrogen deficient.”
- How progesterone is essential in balancing estrogen’s effects, protecting our bodies, and supporting overall health.
- The dangers of conflating bioidentical progesterone with synthetic progestins.
- Why ovulation is critical for lifelong health and how the birth control pill can impact young women’s peak bone mass.
- Her research findings on progesterone as an effective treatment for perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and heavy flow.
Dr. Prior also sheds light on the challenges researchers face in advancing women's health due to systemic biases in funding and publishing. She shares her hopes for the future and emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in how we approach women’s reproductive health.
Special thanks to Dr. Prior for her invaluable contributions to women’s health and her unwavering dedication to advancing our understanding of hormones, ovulation, and the menopause transition.
