This week on Hump Day Hormones we're talking truth about HRT and sorting through the fear!

If you've ever been told hormone therapy is dangerous, confusing, or just "not worth the risk," you're not alone. For over 20 years, women have been navigating a fog of fear and misinformation surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT), much of it based on outdated or misunderstood data.

But what if the real conversation we should be having isn't just about the risks of using HRT... but the risks of not using it, especially for women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause?

💡 You'll learn that treating hormone therapy at the right time can reduce cardiovascular disease, support cognitive health, protect bones, and even lower all-cause mortality.

In this episode, we're diving into the real history, science, and controversy behind hormone therapy. We're taking you back to its beginnings in the 1930s, through the rise of Premarin, and into the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, which shifted the entire narrative. And we're doing what most headlines never did: breaking down what the data actually said, why the study wasn't designed with younger people in mind, and why that matters.

✔️ What the numbers really said about breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke

✔️ How fear-driven messaging sidelined decades of women from a potentially life-improving option

✔️ The difference between outdated hormone therapy and today's modern, safer form

✔️ And why age, timing, and method of delivery make all the difference

💡 We're not saying HRT is right for everyone, but we are saying that women deserve facts, not fear, and an informed, evidence-based conversation about it.
