In this episode of The Roxanne Show, I sit down with Dr. Lorna Brudie—former GYN oncologist and Medical Director at Excel Medical—for a vital conversation about women’s health, hormones, and why our healthcare system has it backwards..

After nearly three decades treating cancer, Dr. Brudie explains why she shifted from reactive medicine to proactive care—and how hormone optimization plays a critical role in disease prevention, longevity, and quality of life. We unpack the lasting impact of the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative, the misconceptions it created around hormone therapy, and what women were never fully told.
