Summary

Wondering how safe HRT is or whether it's right for you? On this episode of The Liz Earle Wellbeing Show, Liz is joined by GP and menopause specialist Dr Rebecca Lewis to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about HRT, and to debunk the myths and misinformation surrounding it.

Liz and Rebecca discuss misleading headlines that have made the news, as well as the recent shift in demand, the current supply issues and GP attitudes towards hormone replacement therapy.

This episode also takes a look at the evidence-based benefits of HRT for killer health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes, and discusses whether younger women should receive HRT even before symptoms start.
