Understanding the critical role of hormone therapy is essential for women at every stage of life, not just those who are navigating the complexities of menopause and beyond.
In my second conversation with Dr. Louise Newson, we discuss how to know if your hormone levels are low, whether it's possible to take too high a dose, and also the potential consequences of not replacing your lost hormones as you get older, such as increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and even dementia.
We dive into the difference between hormonal contraceptives and bio-identical hormones, and why even young women could benefit from targeted hormone therapy.
Many women are still unaware of the profound benefits hormone therapy can offer so in this episode we aim to shed light on this topic and empower women to advocate for their health.
Takeaways:
- Hormone therapy is not just for menopause and can offer significant benefits to younger women suffering from hormonal imbalances.
- HRT is crucial for peri-and menopausal women to balance hormones and reduce the risk of various health issues such as heart disease and osteoporosis.
- Understanding the difference between hormonal contraceptives and bio-identical hormones is vital for informed health decisions.
- Many women still believe misconceptions about HRT, which can lead to unnecessary suffering and health risks.
- Listening to women's symptoms and experiences is essential in addressing their health needs effectively.
- The risks associated with not taking hormones often outweigh the fears surrounding hormone replacement therapy.
- Natural hormones may be more beneficial than synthetic options, and women should advocate for their health choices.
