Conventional wisdom about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could be shortening your healthspan. Dr. Betty Murray—researcher, functional medicine expert, and host of Menopause Mastery—shatters outdated fears around estrogen and reveals why avoiding HRT might accelerate aging. 

In this episode, she dismantles the flawed science behind breast cancer scares, explains how estrogen protects your brain, bones, and metabolism, and shares why “empty egg carton” biology demands smarter hormone strategies after 40.

Learn how menopause rewires your brain, and why not replacing hormones could leave you vulnerable to dementia, weight gain, and silent heart disease.

“Every single cell in your body, except for two, has estrogen receptors. That means the loss of estrogen has a full-body impact.” ~ Dr. Betty Murray
