For two decades, women were handed one headline about hormone replacement therapy: it causes breast cancer. That headline was incomplete. This episode was born from a 15-minute conversation with a mammogram technician — a woman who was scared, confused, and had no idea what her next steps should be. She is not alone. In this episode, I break down what the Women's Health Initiative study actually showed, why those results were prematurely released, and how the science has shifted since. We're talking cardioprotection, brain health, bone density, testosterone — the full picture most women have never been given. This isn't about telling you what to do. It's about making sure you can actually decide for yourself.
