Why Peter Attia calls the lack of menopause hormone therapy “a major medical failure" - And how HormoneSynergy® Clinic Has Been Changing That Reality for Women for almost 25 years.
When Dr. Peter Attia appeared on 60 Minutes discussing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), he didn’t hold back:
“It’s very hard not to argue that this is the greatest single failure of the modern medical system.”
He was referring to the decades-long reluctance to prescribe hormone therapy to perimenopausal and menopausal women—despite overwhelming evidence that properly delivered HRT can dramatically improve mood, sleep, metabolic health, cardiovascular health, bone density, cognition, sexual wellness, and long-term quality of life.
For women searching for clarity, safety, and real expertise, this conversation matters. And it’s one Dr. Kathryn Retzler of HormoneSynergy® Clinic has been leading for 25 years.
The Modern Menopause Problem: Misinformation, Outdated Fears, Missed Opportunities
For over two decades, women have been told to “tough it out” or accept menopause as an inevitable decline. Worse, many clinicians still rely on outdated interpretations of the early 2000s Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study—long proven to be flawed, miscommunicated, and wildly misinterpreted.
As Dr. Attia noted, this has led to:
-
Millions of women going untreated
-
Avoidable suffering with perimenopause symptoms
-
Increased risks for osteoporosis, diabetes, and cognitive decline
-
A culture of fear around hormone therapy that is not supported by modern evidence
Women deserve better. And they deserve clinicians who understand the science—not the soundbites.
Dr. Kathryn Retzler: 25 Years of Expertise in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Long before “longevity medicine” became mainstream, Dr. Retzler built a practice dedicated to restoring hormonal balance and improving women’s healthspan through:
-
Precision diagnostics
-
Customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)
-
Functional and longevity medicine principles
-
Comprehensive metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive optimization
Many clinics “offer hormones.”
HormoneSynergy® Clinic and Dr. Kathryn Retzler specialize in them.
Dr. Retzler doesn’t just treat patients - she teaches other physicians about hormone mechanisms, testing options (serum, urine, genomic influences), delivery methods, side-effect management, and how to thoughtfully guide patients through hormone care with confidence and precision.
This deep educational commitment is what sets HormoneSynergy® apart from clinics that merely prescribe hormones without deep hormone expertise.
