Description

Still unsure about HRT? You’re not alone.
This episode of Making Sense of Women’s Health cuts through the confusion with an up-to-date, evidence-based look at Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Whether you’re considering HRT, already on it, or looking for alternatives — this is your essential guide.

We’ll cover:

  • What HRT really is and how it works
  • Body-identical vs bioidentical vs synthetic hormones
  • The safest forms of estrogen and progesterone — and why delivery method matters
  • What went wrong with the 2002 WHI study — and how it’s changed
  • Who may not be suitable for HRT — and safe alternatives like vaginal estrogen
  • The role of testosterone and how it's prescribed
  • Why lifestyle is your foundation — and how the SENSSE® Method supports hormone health
