BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Let’s talk about something many women have been taught to fear: estrogen.

For years, the conversation around menopausal hormone therapy and breast cancer has often been reduced to one message: “Estrogen causes breast cancer.”

The research tells a much more nuanced story.

In randomized clinical trials, estrogen-alone therapy has been associated with LOWER breast cancer incidence—and in long-term Women’s Health Initiative follow-up, estrogen alone was also associated with LOWER breast cancer mortality in women who had undergone hysterectomy.

A 2024 meta-analysis of 10 randomized trials involving more than 14,000 women reached a similar conclusion: women randomized to estrogen-alone therapy had significantly lower breast cancer incidence overall than those receiving placebo.

But this does NOT mean estrogen is appropriate for everyone—or that all hormone therapy carries the same risk.

And this is where language matters: “estrogen” is an umbrella term. Estradiol is not the same thing as conjugated equine estrogens, and neither should be confused with progestins. There are important differences between these hormones and formulations—nuances that can be confusing even within healthcare.

That’s why we believe the conversation shouldn’t be:
“Are hormones good or bad?”

It should be:
“What does the evidence say, and what is appropriate for THIS woman?”

Functional medicine means looking upstream, understanding individual risk factors, and making informed decisions before symptoms or health concerns become bigger problems.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, keep up with your recommended breast screening—and don’t let outdated or oversimplified information keep you from having an evidence-based conversation about your hormones.

Individualized care matters. So does good data.

Some of the scariest things in the wellness and aesthetics industry aren't what you think.

They're the things patients don't always know to ask about.

At Solid Wellness, we believe who you trust with your health matters just as much as the treatment itself.

So, here's a little about who's behind YOUR care at Solid.

We're licensed medical professionals with training through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), amongst many other educational platforms.

Our injectors each bring over a decade of experience in medical aesthetics. And our education doesn't stop with a certification or a weekend course.

We continually invest in advanced training, professional conferences, and continuing education in functional medicine, hormone health, and aesthetics—because medicine evolves, and we believe our knowledge should evolve with it.

We take the time to understand your history, evaluate your concerns, explain your options, and create individualized treatment plans grounded in clinical evidence and thoughtful medical judgment.

We know you're looking for answers, hoping to feel your best, and trusting us to help you get there. That's a responsibility we don't take lightly.

Our philosophy is simple: Education over trends. Experience over titles. Individualized care over one-size-fits-all protocols.

Because you deserve to feel confident not only in the treatment you're receiving, but in the people providing it.

Men’s hormone health is about more than just a number on a lab report.

Not your average medical office. And that’s exactly the point.

Good people. Good energy. Personalized care. A space where you feel welcomed, heard, and genuinely cared for.

We believe healthcare should feel different. A little more personal, a lot more intentional, and always centered around YOU.

This is your sign to experience Solid Wellness.

Your cholesterol is "normal".
But do you know your actual heart risk?

Most men have had a standard lipid panel:
Total cholesterol. LDL. HDL. Triglycerides.

Important? Absolutely.

The whole picture? Not always.

Advanced lipid testing can give us additional information about the particles carrying cholesterol through your bloodstream and inherited risk factors that a routine panel may not fully capture.

A few markers we pay attention to:
ApoB— Helps estimate the number of atherogenic particles that can contribute to plaque formation.

Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a) — A largely genetically determined risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Your standard cholesterol numbers can look good while Lp(a) is elevated.

LDL particle number and size — Can provide additional context about your LDL beyond the amount of cholesterol it carries.

So why aren't these checked at every annual physical?

Routine screening is designed to work well for a broad population. Advanced testing is typically added when a provider believes it will change risk assessment or management—and recommendations around some advanced markers continue to evolve.

At Solid Wellness, we like to look upstream.

If you're trying to protect your cardiovascular health for the next 10, 20, or 30 years, we don't just want to know whether today's numbers fall inside a reference range.

We want to understand your risk, and act proactively.

Because “normal” and “optimal for you” aren't always the same conversation.

Know your numbers.
Understand your risk.
Make a plan early.
