Listen "Beyond The Charts with Cira Monnig | Ep. 3 - Hormone Replacement Therapy Explained"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Beyond the Charts, host Ken Lawler and Lakeside Care Clinic founder, Cira Monnig, break down the science, safety, and real-world benefits of hormone replacement therapy — especially bioidentical hormones, which have become a powerful tool for aging well and restoring balance.
Cira explains the history behind hormone therapy, including why early concerns about synthetic hormones led physicians to avoid HRT for years. She walks through today’s research showing that bioidentical hormones not only avoid those risks but may also reduce the likelihood of cancer, dementia, osteoporosis, and chronic disease.
Listeners learn why hormone imbalance is now appearing earlier — often in the late 30s and 40s — due to environmental toxins, processed foods, hormonal additives in livestock, and chronic stress. Symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, low libido, joint pain, poor sleep, or “just feeling older” are frequently chalked up to aging, but Cira explains why these issues can be corrected with proper evaluation and treatment.
The episode covers:
• Who hormone therapy is for (men AND women)
• Why younger adults are increasingly affected
• How hormone loss impacts energy, mood, metabolism & skin health
• Lakeside’s comprehensive hormone lab panel
• Differences between topical, oral & injectable options
• Why optimization — not just “normal ranges” — matters
• How direct primary care gives patients time, access & individualized care
Ken shares his experience as a Lakeside member, highlighting the affordability of labs and the long, unrushed consultations that set Lakeside apart from traditional medicine. Cira discusses her mission to treat patients individually, remove insurance barriers, and help people get to the true root of their symptoms rather than applying temporary “band-aid” solutions.
Whether you’re curious about hormone therapy, struggling with unexplained symptoms, or simply wanting to age better, this episode offers a clear, compassionate explanation of how HRT works — and why it’s changing lives.
