Join us as we continue our exploration into the complex world of women's health and hormones, with a special focus on progesterone and estrogen. This episode is particularly insightful as we tackle the controversial and often misunderstood topic of hormone replacement therapy. We delve into the delicate balance between estrogen and progesterone, emphasizing their synergistic relationship and how it shifts during menopause, perimenopause, and pregnancy. We address the benefits and potential side effects of hormone therapy, and why personalizing treatment is key to managing symptoms and enhancing quality of life.
