Summary

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Should you use it for your perimenopause or menopause symptoms? Does it prevent dementia? Heart disease? Is it safe? Who should and who shou;dn’t take it? Join me for this powerful conversation with Dr. Sharon Malone, an OB-GYN with 30 years of clinical experience - and an advocate for menopause awareness, and I explore these questions.

In this episode we unpack:

Rethinking aging and embracing the power of menopause - and why Dr. Malone has found this to be the most freeing and joyful phase of her life
The controversies surrounding hormone replacement therapy, and the research that led to all of the confusion about its use.
The "window of opportunity" for starting HRT, who gets the most benefits, and what symptoms and conditions it’s truly useful for.
Navigating the potential risks of HRT, including the comparable risks of drinking two glasses of wine - so you can make the most informed decisions about your options
The difference between being pro-hormone and anti-suffering for women in menopause
Why it’s important to be wary when it comes to ‘celebrity endorsed’ information on menopausal therapies

Dr. Malone offers invaluable advice on navigating the symptoms of menopause with grace, while empowering you with the knowledge and confidence to make the best health decisions for during the menopause transition.
