⚡️ Brilliant certified menopause specialist Dr. Aoife O'Sullivan MD joins Alicia to gleefully rip up an insert and get to the bottom of the bullsh*t surrounding the infamous misinformation ridden HRT Black Box Warnings that have plagued peri/meno care since the falsified results of the WHI Study f🙌cked us all in 2002. NO - Vaginal Estrogen does NOT cause probable dementia, NO - systemic estradiol does NOT cause breast cancer, NO micronized Progesterone does NOT lead to heart disease, NO - testosterone will not turn you into an MMA wrestler overnight (we wish!). The FDA admitted their devastating “Mistake” this past November along with the ACTUAL FACT that HRT is THE single most preventative therapy for women/AFAB, REDUCING risk of breast cancer for most women by over 23% and adding up to 30% to our lifespans! 😱 It’s f🤘cking bananas!! We  ALL deserve the right to FULL BODILY AUTONOMY, free and fair access to evidence based hormonal care and tools for informed self-advocacy 🤘❤️‍🔥🙌. DON’T F🙌CK WITH MENOPUNKS CAUSE WE KNOW HOW TO F🤘CK YOU RIGHT BACK AT THE BALLOT BOX AND BEYOND! 🗳️🤬🩸😈🤘⚡️
