Dr. JoAnn Manson is an endocrinologist, epidemiologist, and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. In this epsisode, Dr. Manson outlines the specific pros and cons of hormone replacement after menopause, as well as when exactly to start HRT if you choose to pursue it. Find out who is a good candidate for it and who isn’t; what types of hormone replacement medications and applications are best – from bioidentical and synthetic, to pills, gels, creams, patches, etc. She explains the difference between FDA approved medications versus the dangers of custom compounded hormones. Plus, she breaks down the potential health benefits of vitamins and supplements (like folic acid, multi-vitamins, omega 3s, D, B-12, calcium) from pregnancy to menopause!
