In this episode of Opt to Thrive, Dr Sims starts with a short entertaining history of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), now known as menopause hormone therapy (MHT). We hear about how we got from treatment of menopause by surgical removal of the ovaries to the treatment we use today. Dr Sims breaks down the study that set menopause treatment back by twenty plus years, the study that some have described as scandalous. The actual risks of MHT are explored as are the differences between the formulations used in that study to those that we use today. By the end of this episode you should have a clear view of the hormone treatment options currently available and of the true risks and benefits associated with them.
