Hormone Therapy - Dr. Gretchen Frey Interview Part 2


Listen Later

My first interview is with Dr. Gretchen Frey an OB/GYN with a specialty in sexual health and hormone therapy.  We had so much great content we split our convo into 2 parts.  
Part 2 goes deep into hormone therapy as a treatment option for perimenopausal symptoms.  I love this talk because I think folks are sometimes overly worried when it comes to the safety of hormone therapy and other times expect too much from the treatment results.  Hormone therapy is neither magical silver bullet, nor is it unsafe for all.  Like most therapies it can be a great layer when used for the right person at the right time in the context of a holistic plan.  I hope that this episode helps folks understand their options and adds to their ability to make an informed choice.
