Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can provide several benefits for women going through menopause.  Some of those benefits include: relief from hot flashes & night sweats, improved mood and mental health, bone health, vaginal health, prevention of heart disease, better quality sleep, improved skin elasticity.  

All of these benefits are in direct correlation with a better overall quality of life.   

In the 1990's HRT brought relief from the undesirable symptoms of menopause to millions of women who were enjoying the benefits.  However, in 2002 the NIH (National Institutes of Health) held a press conference to announce that HRT caused breast cancer based on findings from an ongoing study.  The study was called the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).  It claimed that HRT increased breast cancer by 26%, therefore the study was stopped early based on these findings.  As a result, HRT was abandoned and labeled as a carcinogen which sent a ripple effect of fear through the medical world.  

But was it really true?  

In his book, Blind Spots written by Dr. Marty Makary, he explores what happens when medicine gets it wrong and what it means for our health.  In Chapter 2 Dr Makary dives down the rabbit hole of HRT and the skewed results of the WHI study and the impact this decision has made to the health of millions of American women.  To this day women are being deprived of life changing treatment that could dramatically impact their health in significant ways and help them avoid death and disease prematurely.  

In this podcast we explore the truth about HRT and the many ways that it can improve your health, keep you from disease and improve the quality of life as you navigate through menopause.  

Information referenced in this podcast is derived from the book Blind Spots by Dr Marty Makary.
