Balanced Hormones Without a Balanced System? Not Happening.

Podcast Episode Featuring: Juanique Grover, Dr. Brian Rodgers, and guest expert Tauscha Johanson

If you’ve been told that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is risky or unnecessary, it’s time to revisit the facts. This week’s Gutsy Health Podcast episode dives deep into the science, data, and lived experience behind bioidentical hormone therapy, with functional medicine expert Tauscha Johanson joining Juanique Grover and Dr. Brian Rodgers for an honest conversation about women’s health, root cause healing, and thriving beyond menopause.

Why This Conversation Matters

For decades, misinformation and fear have kept millions of women from accessing a therapy that could transform their health. As Tauscha points out, HRT is not just about symptom relief—the science shows it can cut your risk of heart disease and osteoporosis in half, and reduce your risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s by 62%.

That’s huge when you consider there are over 50 million women in the menopause transition worldwide. The research is clear: when used appropriately, HRT can be life-changing—and even life-saving.

Key Insights From Tauscha Johanson

The Bigger Picture: Your “System” Comes First
Hormones can’t do their job if the rest of your body is out of balance. Tauscha stresses the need to first address gut health, liver function, thyroid balance, adrenal resilience, and mitochondrial health. Without rebuilding this “terrain,” HRT won’t work the way it should.
Decades of Data, Not Just Opinions
With 25–50 years of strong research behind it, bioidentical hormone therapy offers protective benefits far beyond easing hot flashes or improving sleep. The long-term prevention of serious conditions is what makes it a game-changer in women’s health.
Changing the Narrative
Tauscha is on a mission to bust myths, dismantle fear, and replace outdated dogma with evidence-based truth. As she puts it: “We gotta tell the truth, bust the myths, kill the misinformation, and get women back on hormone replacement therapy.”
