Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Should you use it for your perimenopause or menopause symptoms? Does it prevent dementia? Heart disease? Is it safe? Who should and who shou;dn’t take it? Join me for this powerful conversation with Dr. Sharon Malone, an OB-GYN with 30 years of clinical experience - and an advocate for menopause awareness, and I explore these questions. 

In this episode we unpack: 

  • Rethinking aging and embracing the power of menopause - and why Dr. Malone has found this to be the most freeing and joyful phase of her life
  • The controversies surrounding hormone replacement therapy, and the research that led to all of the confusion about its use.
  • The "window of opportunity" for starting HRT, who gets the most benefits, and what symptoms and conditions it’s truly useful for. 
  • Navigating the potential risks of HRT, including the comparable risks of drinking two glasses of wine - so you can make the most informed decisions about your options 
  • The difference between being pro-hormone and anti-suffering for women in menopause
  • Why it’s important to be wary when it comes to ‘celebrity endorsed’  information on menopausal therapies
