Understanding the critical role of hormone treatment is essential for women at every stage of life, not just during peri-menopause and menopause.
In my second interview with Dr. Louise Newson, we discuss how to know if your hormone levels are low, whether it's possible to take too high a dose, and the potential consequences of **not** replacing your lost hormones as you get older, such as increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and even dementia.
We dive into the difference between hormonal contraceptives and bio-identical hormones, and why even young women could benefit from targeted hormone therapy.
Many women are still unaware of the profound benefits hormone therapy or not being heard by their healthcare provider.
