"We stand at the dawning of a new age in transgender hormone therapy. Our newfound appreciation that the sexual hormones have a far wider scope & influence than previously appreciated will change everything for this field of endocrine treatment. Far more than sexual, these hormones have an enormous, indeed pivotal effect on the brain & the immune/inflammatory system. This finally places hormone therapy on a rational footing based on complex scientific principles instead of antiquated, simplistic cookbook recipes."
The work of Dr. John O'Dea has had a seminal influence on the field of transgender hormone therapy as well as the menopause and Dr. O'Dea's insights into the vital links running dynamically between the sexual hormones and both mental health & mental disorder, from moment to tiny moment are at the cutting edge of medical science.
To Dr. O'Dea the answers to many of the treatment-resistant problems experienced by women were hormonal ones. It followed that these same kinds of problems, such as anxiety, depression and migraine headaches might be even more pronounced & prevalent in the Trans-Woman.
Over the years Dr. O'Dea's name has become synonymous with modern hormonal Trans-Care as he has refined & perfected his methods, & he still continues to do so. His approach, aped now by many, has become the benchmark for feminizing hormone therapy, worldwide.
