Episode 3060: Dr. Neal dives into the broader landscape of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), outlining its potential benefits for menopausal women, like easing hot flashes, improving sleep, and protecting against osteoporosis, while also weighing its possible risks. He also explores why testosterone therapy for aging men is controversial and largely unadvised unless medically necessary, offering insights backed by evolving research and clinical guidance. Quotes to ponder: "Hormone replacement therapy may not be as risky as that study found." "For most women, the benefits of hormone replacement therapy may outweigh the risks." "Testosterone replacement therapy in men may increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, like a heart attack or a stroke."
