Episode 60: I've Supercharged my Transition?

Today’s episode discusses a recent article from Dr. Jaime Hoerricks and their personal experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT); and how their long-standing ketogenic diet may have accelerated the effects of their HRT. They posit that their diet, rich in healthy fats and very low in carbohydrates, may have optimised their body's ability to transport and utilise estrogen, leading to rapid and significant changes. Dr. Hoerricks emphasises the lack of research examining the potential relationship between diet and HRT outcomes in transgender individuals, particularly for those following a ketogenic lifestyle. They believe that further research in this area could provide valuable insights for trans women and anyone undergoing HRT, potentially leading to more personalised and effective treatments.
