Estrogen Therapy: Compounded Alternatives to Estradiol Patches with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh Nov 11, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you rely on estrogen therapy but suddenly can’t get your estradiol patch? Estrogen plays an important role far beyond reproductive health, supporting the brain, bones, cardiovascular and metabolic health, immune system, skin, fertility, and healthy aging. When estrogen levels decline, women may experience symptoms including hot flashes, brain fog, mood and sleep changes, skin changes, and changes in sexual health. In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, discusses the current estradiol patch shortage and options available for women who may be having difficulty filling their prescriptions. She explains how compounding pharmacies can provide individualized estrogen formulations and alternative delivery methods, including topical creams, vaginal options, sublingual tablets, and oral capsules. These customized options allow the dosage and delivery method to be tailored to each woman’s individual needs. A shortage doesn’t have to mean a gap in your hormone therapy. If you are unable to obtain your estrogen patch, do not stop or change your prescribed therapy on your own. Instead, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about available options and whether compounded estrogen may be appropriate for you. Understanding the role estrogen plays in your health and knowing your options can help you continue making informed decisions about your hormone health.

Women and Hormones with Elaina Mango & Gabrielle Foppe, PA Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

What if your blood work says your hormones are “normal,” but you still don’t feel like yourself? Hormonal imbalances can affect women at many stages of life, not just during menopause. Changes in estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, testosterone, and other hormones can influence energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, cognition, weight, libido, and overall well-being. Symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, irregular cycles, hot flashes, insomnia, and painful periods may be signs that your hormones are out of balance. In this episode, Elaina Mango talks with Gabrielle Foppe, PA, about the differences between perimenopause and menopause, why symptoms matter, and the role hormones play throughout a woman’s life. They also discuss concerns surrounding hormone replacement therapy and explain the Hotze Health & Wellness Center’s approach using bioidentical hormones that are customized to each woman’s individual needs. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, their approach considers how hormones work together and uses comprehensive blood work and clinical symptoms to help restore hormonal balance. You don’t have to accept feeling tired, irritable, foggy, or unlike yourself as a normal part of being a woman or getting older. Understanding your hormones and recognizing the signs of imbalance can help you make more informed decisions about your health and explore options designed to help you feel your best again.

Show notes

What if GLP-1s could offer benefits beyond weight loss?

Eating for Good Health with Gabrielle Foppe, PA Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

What if the food you eat every day is doing more than simply satisfying your hunger? In this episode, Elaina Mango is joined by Gabrielle Foppe, Physician Assistant at Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to discuss how nutrition can influence energy, metabolism, gut health, blood sugar, inflammation, and overall wellness. Gabrielle explains why shifting the focus from convenience and short-term gratification toward real, whole foods can help provide the body with the nutrients it needs to function at its best. They also discuss the challenges of the standard American diet, including highly processed foods, added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and artificial ingredients, along with practical ways to make healthier choices. Gabrielle shares tips for grocery shopping, reading ingredient labels, prioritizing protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and fiber, and making gradual changes that are easier to maintain. The conversation also explores different approaches to healthy eating, and the importance of creating long-term habits rather than relying on restrictive diets or quick fixes. Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean perfection. Small, consistent choices can help support long-term health, while cooking at home and making healthier foods part of everyday family life can create habits that last for generations. At Hotze Health & Wellness Center, a healthy eating lifestyle is considered an important part of supporting overall wellness and helping guests take a more proactive approach to their health.

Post-Infection Gut Restoration & The Role of Nitazoxanide with Elaina Mango & Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

What happens to your gut after a serious infection, multiple rounds of antibiotics, and major surgery? In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, is joined by Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to share Elaina’s recent health journey and the steps she took to restore her gut health. What began as sudden, severe abdominal pain during a vacation in Curaçao was eventually diagnosed as a ruptured appendix that had gone untreated for six days, leading to a serious infection, repeated hospitalizations, extensive antibiotic treatment, and ultimately emergency surgery. After returning home, Elaina explains that removing the appendix and treating the infection were only the beginning of her recovery. She worked with her healthcare team to address the effects of multiple rounds of antibiotics. Her treatment plan included nitazoxanide, which Elaina describes as the turning point that helped her feel dramatically better within just a few days. Bryana and Elaina discuss why restoring the gut can require a multifaceted and individualized approach, particularly after intensive antibiotic treatment.

Low Testosterone in Women with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Could low testosterone be affecting your energy, mood, strength, or sex drive? Testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, but women rely on it too. In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains the important role testosterone plays in women’s health and the symptoms that may indicate testosterone levels are no longer optimized. Bryana discusses why evaluating testosterone deficiency requires more than simply looking at a lab number. Symptoms, bloodwork, hormone availability, and the individual clinical picture all matter. She also explains how sublingual bioidentical testosterone is absorbed, why physiological dosing is important, and how properly tailored therapy is designed to restore testosterone levels without causing unwanted side effects. Learn why testosterone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and how working with a knowledgeable physician and pharmacy can help women find the appropriate dose and method of treatment for their individual needs.

Testosterone Dosage Forms for Men with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Testosterone replacement therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how testosterone therapy can be customized for men based on their symptoms, lifestyle, health history, and individual response to treatment. She also discusses signs that may be associated with low testosterone. Bryana compares three testosterone dosage forms: compounded sublingual tablets, compounded slow-release oral capsules, and commercially available injectable testosterone. She explains the advantages and considerations of each, including differences in absorption, dosing frequency, convenience, gastrointestinal health, and administration. From the rapid absorption of a sublingual tablet to the familiar routine of an oral capsule or the less frequent dosing of an injection, the goal is to find an option that fits each individual’s needs and lifestyle. Bryana also discusses the importance of proper dosing and ongoing monitoring during testosterone therapy. Symptoms, blood work, hormone conversion, and overall response should all be considered when determining whether treatment is appropriately balanced. Learn why personalized testosterone therapy and collaboration between the patient, physician, and pharmacist can help men find an approach that works best for them.

The Book That Restored Her Health with Guest Sarah Shah Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

What happens when you stop accepting symptoms as something you simply have to live with and start taking a more active role in your health? In this episode, Dr. Hotze sits down with Sarah Shaw, who shares how reading Hormones, Health, and Happiness nearly 20 years ago changed the way she approached her health. At the time, Sarah was struggling with severe fatigue, brain fog, itching, recurring fungal infections, and intense sugar cravings. After recognizing her symptoms in Dr. Hotze’s book, she began following a yeast-free eating program focused on eliminating sugar and simple carbohydrates. She says her symptoms began improving within the first 30 days. Sarah explains how that experience encouraged her to become what Dr. Hotze calls her own “health contractor.” Over the years, she experimented with different approaches to determine what worked best for her body, including eliminating foods she felt were contributing to her symptoms and using tools such as a continuous glucose monitor to understand her response to certain foods better. She also shares how removing gluten and pasteurized dairy from her diet helped her address significant joint discomfort and regain the ability to stay active. Dr. Hotze and Sarah also discuss the importance of continually educating yourself about your health. Sarah’s message is simple: you do not have to change everything at once. Start somewhere, pay attention to how your body responds, and continue making choices that move you toward better health. Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.
