About this listen

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one of the most debated topics in women’s health. In this episode, we delve into the truth behind the pros, cons, and controversies surrounding HRT, enabling women to make informed choices with confidence.

HRT can bring powerful relief from hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, low libido, and mood swings, while also supporting bone, heart, and metabolic health when used appropriately. For many, it’s not just about symptom relief — it’s about thriving in midlife rather than simply surviving.

We’ll also explore why opinions are so divided — from the shadow of the 2002 WHI study to philosophical beliefs about whether menopause should be “treated” at all. Through a functional medicine lens, we’ll discuss the importance of tailoring HRT to the individual — considering genetics, lifestyle, age, and using the right type and route of hormones — while never forgetting the bigger picture of nutrition, sleep, and stress management.

Key takeaway: HRT isn’t a magic bullet, nor is it the enemy. It’s a tool. When used wisely and with personalization, it can be transformative. Women deserve clarity, not confusion, when it comes to navigating this pivotal stage of life.
