The Three Horseman of Women's Health with Sophie Mengele NP

The Three Horsemen of Women’s Health: Sermorelin, HRT, and GLP-1s | The Vagina Doctor Podcast Nurse practitioner Sophie shares her “three horsemen” of women’s health: Sermorelin, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and GLP-1s, and explains how they fit together. She describes Sermorelin as a synthetic analog of the body’s natural growth hormone that declines with age and may help maintain muscle and prevent wasting associated with sarcopenia; she notes it was previously FDA approved for HIV patients with severe muscle loss. Sophie explains that GLP-1s support weight loss but can also lead to muscle loss, so Sermorelin is sometimes combined with GLP-1s to help counter muscle wasting, or used alone for those focused on preserving muscle without losing weight. She also highlights patient reports of improved deep sleep with Sermorelin. Finally, she emphasizes HRT as the foundation for replacing estrogen, protecting bones, and sometimes adding testosterone to support libido. 00:00 Three Horsemen Intro 00:30 Sermorelin Basics 00:55 Muscle Loss and Aging 01:38 Pairing With GLP-1s 02:51 Sermorelin Sleep Benefits 03:27 HRT Foundation 03:34 Wrap Up and Benefits https://www.turnermedicalarts.com
